Planning your dream home renovation

The initial crucial step in any renovation project involves conducting a thorough Pre-study. This helps you to understand the legal parameters of what modifications are allowed on your property. While engaging an architect is the ideal approach for this, there are three key questions you should have clear answers to before digging into the planning. This will guide your planning process effectively and make it a smooth journey.

1. Is my property legally and correctly registered?

How your property is registered can have a huge impact on what improvements or renovations you are allowed to make.

2. Are there any restrictions on the type of renovation I am allowed to do?

The location of your property can influence the kinds of improvements you are authorised to make. It is crucial that you assess potential restrictions.

3. Do I need approval from entities other than the town hall?

In cases where your home is part of a community, always review the community rules before finalising your plans.

Taking the time to address these questions upfront can save you both time and frustration. Knowing that the changes you aspire to make align with legal and regulatory requirements is of outmost importance. So before investing extensive effort into planning, check what apply to you specifically. Remember, just because your neighbour successfully built a pergola, it doesn’t automatically grant you the same liberty.
