We're in a badly extended three bed 50s semi and really want to have some building work done.
Previous owners have gone out right up to permitted development at the side so there is only about 2 feet of side access.
I'm thinking of adding a loft conversion plus some rejigging of the back of the house to make a kitchen diner and to add in another bathroom and utility room. No significant extension but I assume we need some sort of plan.
Do we need to go via an architect, or do we ask a few builders to come and give us detailed quotes? What do we need to ask?
I'm struggling with the process and any advice would be really gratefully received. I can see me making a real mess of this and handing over thousands upfront to the first builder that phones me back!
