Our place is ex-council and it had extensive work done before we bought it. Planning permission approved work but the council/housing association consent never took place until they sold it to us - 5 years after the work was complete. Apparently it was a box ticking exercise but IANAL & YMMV, etc....

The drainage search has shown there is a public sewer within the boundary of the property. Our solicitors are a bit shit.
Does anyone know of a way to find out where on the property it is located? - ie at the front or rear or the property, etc.
The big thing would be weather it would prevent an extention at the rear.
Also as the place we're looking at is ex local authority there is a restrictive covenant which looks to require council consent for any alterations. Has anyone heard of this before and how strictly it enforced.
My land law is a very rusty but I'm assuming getting a LA to agree to remove a 40yo covenant won't be easy.
