    2 Archs with different views. one saying its compliant, one saying its not. .

    Remove yourself from this and ask - what's wrong with this picture.
    Imagine you are the vendor at a future date and you have to sell under this scenario.

    Yes I agree, my ARch shouldnt be providing it, the solicitor has raised that as a concern.

    He will go back to the vendors with options

    1) Retention planning
    2) engage additional arch to certify exemption (and the S5 now as mentioned above)

    Just to be clear the architect will provide a written opinion that it is exempt.

    DLR would have to respond within 4 weeks of receiving the documentation. They may ask for more information though. Also the vendor will need to get drawings prepared for submitting.

    4 week turnaround on a section 5. If you're doing it, request the council to send the decision to you and the current owner (per Section 5c of the Planning act). 80 euro fee to council and minimal paperwork and drawings compared to a planning application.

    folks, just an update, we have asked the vendors to apply for a section 5.

    Waiting to hear back, however given their solicitor is on holidays i expect they wont do anything until he is back (current communication is being done via the EA)

    Assuming the S5 is fine, we proceed. If its not then assuming they need to go and do the retention application.

    Thanks for the help and advice, will post once i get updates

    have the keys now 2.5 weeks made a lot of progress

    - kitchen/diner wall down with RSJ in (day 2 :pac:)
    - House completely bare, wallpaper stripped, carpets,floors lifted
    One of my mates who was helping, when we lifted the lino in the kitchen we found the Evening Press newspaper from the day he was born.. Dec 27th 1981..:eek:

    - All old plumbing removed, oil boiler removed (gas ordered)
    - Back window removed and now blocked for french doors
    - Garage door removed and now blocked for window

    - Went with MJ for windows, 2.5 lead time which is pretty good, they will just be pinning and builder will do the rest (a lot of negative reviews on boards, but the builder uses them)

    - Insulation went up on external walls yesterday

    - The dreaded utility room has been stripped bare, with insulation gone up, bathroom demolished for refurb, large window here so partially blocked up for smaller window

    - Floor from house down to utility/garage conversion and bathroom all at different levels, so stones laid, will be levelled next week

    - Plumber laying piping etc next week

    - Electrician doing a few bits next week (not a huge amount for him to do)

    Builder is confident we'll be in by Nov 30th

    - Painting is almost done, (probably finish monday/tuesday)
    - Most of the tiling is done aswell
    - New Alarm fitted
    - New hotpress built (3 sq meters) this is what happens when you marry a farmers daughter :eek:
    - All internal doors replaced
    - MJ turned up on time with the windows/doors
    - Electrics done
    - Garage/utility room floor has been poured and levelled

    Next week is
    - Kitchen install
    - bathroom stuff (shower trays * 2, bath in place already)
    - Builder put in a wastewater pipe under the new garage(to connect to main sewer) floor as he was concerned about drainage in the front garden, first heavy rain and we had a flood in the front garden so it was good foresight
    - Floors in week after next

    We'll be moving in weekend of Dec 4th
