hi guys , ive had a few pms regarding how the extension for leigh is coming on, tbh reading between the lines of some of them it appears to me that there is an element of mistrust , so heres where we are at


the drawing are done, and the prices from builders are in ( they ranged from £25k to £40k )
the cost of the build is £25k
we have raised /saved £10K
leaving a shortfall of £15k

we are remortgaging our home for £18K just to be on the safe side, now heres where the delay has been ,
being self employed the banks wanted 3 years books , my end of year wasnt till last december 15th , so susan had to reconcile the books , present them to the accountant to have them audited , which has now been done , and the 3 years have now been presented to my financial advisor so he can get me the best deal on my remortgage

to my mind it seemed stupid to spend upwards of £3k on surveys and planning etc untill i had the money secured to complete the building work

i hope this clears it up , if not feel free to ask questions

Adapting your home | Carers UK

If you follow the links you can get the Scottish equivalent thare are grants for disabled adaptions from various other fields

As for planning permission submit a drawing yourself and a schedule they will implement the changes required ,there have been various changes in planning in. Scotland since last April which help on small build extensions ,cutting huge amounts of red tape as was previously a pain and a stumbling block.
 
Good on ya S-Stalker.

Hope you dont get too much hassle with planning etc and that you get it all sorted for your daughter.

Best Regards

Wee update. The remortgage has gone through and the money paid into Leigh's account. ( toast n beans for dinner from now on )
just the planning process to go through now
 
Remember to give me a shout when you are designing any of the wet rooms or showers etc as my mrs is a sales manager for a company that manufactures accessible showers etc and she said back at the start they can do one at cost if it is suitable.

Well done KSB ..... great to see SD members helping one another out instead of the 'sniping' that occassionally takes place.

Nice one Pal !

the neighbours all received notification letters yesterday from planning about the building work , so its moving, slowly
 
All the best with the build. Says Jim, as a red deer curry cooks away in the slow cooker curtesy of the auction.
