I am an architect practicing in the US helping a friend considering a purchase of a property in the UK. We are trying to figure out the feasibility of any potential restoration / remodel of the property.
How would I go about finding any available information about the property - looking for information such as any existing as-built plans building departments may have on file, any information regarding historical preservation requirements, restrictions/limitations for remodeling, permitting requirements and procedures, etc...
I am just not sure where to start looking for this information in the UK. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
