Had hoped that part would be ok as Islington Council are the freeholder. That said, it’d be stupid for us not to ask the question pre-purchase. Thanks

Unless there is something unusual to the set up, the freeholder owns the building, so if you add anything to it, they own that, too. And they have to look after it. So they like stuff that is broadly standard. Random extensions aren't really their thing but you never know.

First step would be to enquire with the freeholder to see if any alterations are possible. They might just tell you to do-one.
Don’t get a surveyor in until you have the basics.
