(Tried this on Craicnet but got no replies)
Hello.
DH and I are thinking about moving back to my home town in a few years. One idea we have thrown about is to extend my family home (mum lives alone) to create 2 separate houses, joined by a walkway/shared space. We would renovate the old house, mum would have the newer build. Mum is keen on the idea.
So I am open to any advice, feedback, words of warning.
We haven't done ANYTHING yet, so not sure if we'd even be allowed, in relation to planning permission.
Has anyone done anything similar?
Obviously it depends on what we want as an end result, but budget wise, what are we looking at? I realise that is a "how long is a piece of string" question, but do we have to have at least (e.g.) 30k/50k/100k/200k for it anyway?
Legally, we'd get solicitor to make sure us investing in house would be documented correctly, and that both us and mum are protected.
Not sure what I am asking, but any advice is appreciated
