Worried about valuation on house I'm buying

The owners may not have needed to give permission. If the wall of the house is on the boundary of their property, then the neighbours may have a right to build right up to it.

All the others houses in the same row have gated driveways there only. So now I guess it's a link detached. I'm very surprised the previous owners whenever it was done gave them permission for that. I certainly wouldn't have. Give them permission to devalue your house?weird.0 -

Indeed, in fact right move is full of houses that are end terraced described as semi detached and detached 'cottages' that are terraced.0 -
More to do with stupid/ignorant EAs though.Indeed, in fact right move is full of houses that are end terraced described as semi detached and detached 'cottages' that are terraced.
Detached is just that, link-detached means it's joined by something like a garage, EoT is end of 3+ houses, semi is 2 joined.
I really don't know why they find it so hard - it's not open to interpretation of the terms themselves - they've not changed meaning over the years, more that you have to take whatever the EA says with a large pinch of salt.2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0 -

Favour? The owners certainly won't negotiate I know that so I will have lost around £1000 or more.0 -
