If you’re the owner of the property, then you generally have the authority to make structural changes. I recently needed to remove the party wall (the one that connects my house to the one next door). I thought it wouldn’t be allowed by I searched for ‘party wall surveyor London‘ to find a local expert and they helped me serve a notice to get the work done. Whatever changes you want to make, find a surveyor who can figure out all the legal and health and safety stuff.
Altering the structure of a building is a massive job and potentially hazardous. Knocking down a wall could lead to a ceiling collapsing if you’re not careful. So even if you’re allowed to make a change, you could be putting the safety of your family in jeopardy. Always talk to experienced and reputable workers in the construction industry. You may need to get a notice, in which case, try this resource.
