  • The building control guy I spoke to was the one being used by the building company doing the work so ultimately being paid by me which probably made them a bit more amenable to questions, not sure how much you'd get out of the council for free.

    I can't remember why you're redoing the floor plan. I'd be tempted to nick a bit of the bathroom for a washing machine maybe but other than that I don't think I'd do much. I lived in a place for 10 years with a kitchen about that size.

    The only option I'd probably really look at would be swapping bedroom 2 and kitchen but that would possibly hit the resale value if that's a concern.

  • cheers. My mate had the idea to ask a couple of EAs. Losing the bedroom would almost certainly loose value and utility but the kitchen would be sick

  • Asking estate agents before starting work is always a good idea. They (in theory) know the local property market better than anyone else and are happy to give valuations based on what you're intending to do.
