Re: possible extension - definitely ask what clauses are in place before proceeding.
Our development has a clause that bans garden buildings for the first 5 years of owning the property...
These are usually stipulations put in place to secure planning permission and are based not pissing off the locals.

Yup. One of the T9 detached ones. The last one of the first phase sold the morning we went to look at the show house, so we’re at the top of the wait list for when second phase plots are available for reservation. One thing I am worried about is the price going up a lot for what is essentially the same house due to the 5/6 months between phases….. The 4 bed detached units on phase one were circa £440k depending on garden size…. Although we can afford to spend more if it comes to it, we really don’t want to go over £500k. The garden on most plots is a sort of L shape with a bit of the garden filling the gap between the back of the garage and the rear boundary…. I’d really like to have enough cash spare to extend the garage to fill this gap and turn it into a garden studio/bike den/workshop type thing. I currently store my ever growing amount of bikes and associated crap at my studio, which I won’t be able to do in my new studio, I’d really like to be able to have a space to dedicate to this at home moving forward.
We’re not particularly fussed about where we rent TBH…. As long as it’s somewhere between Frome and Bath (GF works at RUH in Bath), we’ll make do, as we know it’s not permanent…. So hoping we will be able to find somewhere that will do as a stop gap.
Whereabouts is your place? We must catch up when I’m moved. Currently commuting down to the office 2 days a week, and using my studio in Bristol for painting until new studio next to the office is up and running.
