Buying a Property to Renovate

If you are considering purchasing a property to renovate, things to consider are -

What is the local council like?

How long do they take to process applications?

What features do they not like?

How close can you build to the boundary?

Are their any height restrictions?

Have there been any previous applications on this property that may have been knocked back?

What are the surrounding homes like?

Will your renovation ideas suit the streetscape?

It is also worth talking to an architect that is known to the local council as they should be able to give you some insight into what you are potentially going to face.
