We are selling our house to a couple who want to extend, and they have made the granting of planning permission a condition of the sale. So we are not just subject to contract & survey, but also to their getting PP.
It's very unlikely that there would be any problem with getting it, but the issue is that it can take up to 6 months in our area!
Has anyone else had experience with this notion of PP before contracts? I never realized that PP could be applied for by anyone except the owner!
