Consent and planning for flats
For flats in Porthcawl, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting. In Wales, the rules for blocks of flats differ from those for houses, so we check with the council before quoting.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Porthcawl cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
