Well That Was Quicker....

than we expected! The day after my last post we received our building permission! I was expecting it to take a couple of months not a couple of weeks Haha. No issues or changes needed so that's fantastic. I was told so many horror stories and in the end it was fast and easy so I am so pleased.

Now to move to finance. We contacted the bank today and got a checklist of what we need. We have most things but we need to save 5% deposit. Should have it in a month though and then hopefully the bank will be as easy to deal with as Council ended up being. Fingers crossed!!

It's In...

Plans are in council for approval as of 2 weeks ago. YAY!! We didn't need to worry about half the forms and things that I thought we needed. No planning permission needed or soil tests due to a house already existing. My husband went into the council building and got them to help him fill them out to make sure we did it correctly- really wouldn't want to have to resubmit. We got an email a few days after we put them letting us know they'd been forwarded to the building surveyor.

So now we wait again....

Also I've changed my mind on almost every single colour choice (of course!) so I'll post up the newest selections soon. Don't know why I bother given how often I change them Haha.
