By the time we've got planning and b.regs through for the new staircase
we
*might* have some new neighbours who might be a bit more accommodating -
having said that, we're considering using the underfloor void as some
sort
of beer storage area. :-) Having said that, some extra cash towards the
refurb wouldn't go a miss!

Have you got the freeholder's consent?


I've checked with our solicitor and we shouldn't need the freeholder's (i.e.
the owners of the downstairs flat) consent.
