๐Ÿก DID YOU KNOW?
A garage is not classified as a habitable room under the National Building Regulations.

While a garage is approved for vehicle storage and related purposes, it cannot simply be converted into a bedroom or living space without the necessary approvals.

If you are considering a garage conversion, it may require:
โœ” Approved building plans
โœ” Compliance with applicable building requirements
โœ” Proper disclosure when selling the property
โœ” Regularisation of any unapproved alterations before transfer

An unapproved conversion can create complications during the sale and transfer of a property.

Always check the legal status of a propertyโ€™s improvements before buying or selling.

๐Ÿก TUESDAY PROPERTY TIP | KNOW THE COSTS BEYOND THE PRICE

Buying a home is an exciting milestone, but the purchase price is only part of the financial commitment.

Before you sign, make sure you understand the additional costs that may come with your property transaction, including transfer costs, bond registration costs, attorney fees and other related expenses.

Taking the time to understand the full picture can help you plan your budget, avoid unexpected surprises and make informed decisions.

Ask questions. Plan ahead. Know what youโ€™re committing to.
