Wise BBS, I was curious if anyone had done this before.
Mrs Jimos has her eye on a house, which happens to be link detached. Said house is not quite what Mr Jimos would choose to live in, in its current state, but he can see what could potentially be done with it (STPP).
Have any of you ever gone through the process of tearing down a linked garage? In this case, the property has a double garage, linked to a neighbour's single garage - I would imagine that it would just be a case of *carefully* removing the ones that would be ours, ensuring the party wall remained in good condition, then fencing down the gap, and rebuilding again as separate.
Logic suggests neighbour would be pretty happy with that, as it'd make them truly detached and presumably increase property value on both sides. I can see from the satellite google snap that they've extended off the back of their single garage, so I'd shave a little off the size of the garage (i can't foresee two cars going in there, considering we have two cars that don't have a garage now), to make a clear divide, and potentially lose a few inches of land in order to clearly define the boundary.
From my perspective, I would want to extend over half of the double garage and build backwards, which ought on my limited understanding, be approved by the local planning committee, but I'm very conscious that I have an Other Half who gets carried away sometimes when she is thinking all Grand Designs.
Any advice gratefully received!
