Further Information

For information on property prices at home or overseas, go to www.rightmove.co.uk.

Another website which gives information on property prices, together with useful information on council tax rates, local amenities and population statistics, local shopping and services is at www.upmystreet.com.

Obtaining planning permission for building works or alterations to a property may become an issue for some co-owners. Local authorities have the main responsibility for planning. Contact the local council in the first instance; they will be able to advise on procedures for making the application, and give general guidance.

For building works on a listed building, or for any kind of alterations, listed building consent will be required - it is a criminal offence to carry out work which needs listed building consent without obtaining it beforehand. In a conservation area consent will be required, and many trees are protected by tree preservation orders.

Finally, for co-owners wanting to investigate eco-friendly building, visit the U.K. Environmental Guide to Alternative Technology & Green Lifestyle at www.greenphase.com.
