    Garage change of use - any pointers?

    £5k would be the material cost perhaps….so the cost for you to do it, with maybe the price for an electrician to domthe notifiable stuff. More like £15k for a builder to do it As it’s not attached, it is viewed as an outbuilding, so exempt from b/regs unless it’s over 15sq metres and under...
