Hi, I would be very grateful if I could get some advice. I brought my house from the council in 2018- I have 2 years until the 5 years period is up. I recently remortgaged and had the mortgage + deeds into my sole name. I am now looking to carry out some home improvements. My mortgage lender has approved the advance on my mortgage. Would I have to get the councils approval or even inform them regarding the advance or prove to them what I will be spending the money on? I am aware in terms of building requirements I will need planning permission + inspection.
Many thanks
Many thanks
