And don't forget the new "Section P" of the building regs, mind you building control will be aware of it, and enforce it.

Carole has passed a copy of the plans to one particular firm, their estimate was an incredible £69K!!!!!
The firm is in Cheshire and he kept rattling on about how this work would add about 30% to the value of the property.
He said they had done the same sort of job on a similar property in Altringham and it had been recently valued at over £300K.
We think that he was confused, Altringham....Accrington?? Easily done, I guess! lol
Since it's only a basement conversion in a terraced house we're talking about it was decided to decline his offer to start work asap.
