Viewing a house with view to extend

getmore4less

What's a 2 story extension across the back going to cost £30k, £50k or more

£200k is buying 4 beds within a mile and there is a choice £200k-£220k

Thanks Keith and getmore4less...

Yeah mother-in-law lives round the corner and has spare rooms if need be.

These other houses are what I'm arguing with myself about Haha.

I want this to be the 'forever' home.

I've got option 1..
.go for something like this house
.spend about 220k after works
.have the house I want with 4 double bedrooms
.perfect area/ facing the right way / cul-de-sac
.have to put up with the disruption of building
.maybe not get planning permission I'm wanting

Option 2
.go for the existing 4 beds around 200-220k
.areas not as nice
.most have 2 single(box rooms)
.no disruption of extending

The house is there when I searched a 1950s map. I knew it wasnt a new-build. Probably a 40's at a guess.

https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/448533/393188/10/101322 - At a guess, I'd say late 70s early 80s build. Certainly not a 1940s house - The garden would have been much bigger and it would have had a chimney (as would all the other houses nearby).

The house is mid 1980s

You're allowed to apply for planning permission even if you don't own the property. I would strenuously suggest that you have a conversation with the local planning people before making any offers.

My mistake.. 1980s sounds much more realistic!
