When you are the owner of a property, there are always things that come to mind that need doing or would be an improvement. This can be something as simple as putting up a fence or a wall to provide you with some privacy or putting up a shed or a conservatory to provide you with more space. The Planning Law and Building Bye-Laws are quite specific as to what you can do and what you cannot do without permission and there are also various common law or contractual obligations to consider before going to the expense of carrying out the works.

Conservatories are always popular improvements to houses. They can give you more space to live in or simply somewhere warm to sit in on a crisp winter's day. There are, however, a number of pitfalls that you should be aware of which conveyancers, such as myself, routinely come across and can cause problems, if not with the authorities, when you build it, when you come to sell the property.
