Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is well today.
I am new to all this so please bear with me whilst I try to explain my issue and thank you for listening...
I have just had an offer accepted on a listed 2 bed terrace cottage. The living room floor is 11m2 and it all needs replacing due to rotting caused by damp. The 2 options are attached as pictures. Planning consent was applied for in September 2019 but was withdrawn in March 2020. I don't know why it has not passed in this time. It said the works were urgent then. I am concerned that I will buy the house then have to leave to empty for a further 3-6 months whilst I wait for the planning to be passed or worse still the planning will not be passed and I am left with a house that maybe unsellable.
I could renovate the rest of the house whilst I wait for the floor planning but again if it was refused I am then left with a 75% finished house with no planning on the main room floor.
Would anyone know how long planning takes and if there could be an issue with getting it passed? I don't know how to schedule my time and money into doing the right thing first.
Thank you !
