Hi I am busy purchasing a house. In my ‘Offer to Purchase’, one condition is that I want approved Town Council Plans before transfer. I have been emailed a soft copy of the plans. Is there a service where these plans can be checked compared to the house and verify that the plans are in order. If not in order, draft a letter, stating what is out of order, so it can be attended to. What would this cost? Thanks Kind Regards

And also what information will you need from me. The information about the property; 11 Bedroom house with 8 bathroom at 43A TENNYSON STREET, QUIGNEY, EAST LONDON.

Each unit must be divided into 3 : have a bedroom, toilet+shower & Dinning room. I definitely would like the plan to be approved and start work exactly this June. Please let me know you quotation and advice if you are able to submit the plans and they get approved. My mobile is currently not working but l am able to contact you back please email.
