Hi,
I have been involved in property for a few years now and have experience of being a landlord and running multi-let properties. I am now looking for the next thing and would like to take it up a level. I am looking at investing in a property that has planning for conversion from office space into flats but am wondering how to approach planning a project like this. I do have some quite basic understanding of what is involved (labouring on a pair of 2 story extensions with added dormers when temporarily out of work) and I whilst I am not a builder myself I have a good friend who is a carpenter/plumber. This property is structurally sound etc and as far as I can see its a case of partition walls, plumbing and wiring etc etc. etc.
Before I put any kind of offer in though I would like to get my head around what it requires and turn some of those etc. etc. etcs into things more solid from someone who has experience of undertaking a project like this. I am wondering if anyone might be able to help me or recommend there I can go to understand more about the regulations and unforeseen costs etc., how to approach costing it up and anything else that I might not be thinking of.
Cheers!
