Following on from my other threads, it seems that we may soon be applying for Planning Permission for a new wastewater sytem with Kerry County Council.
Complicated sale of property, so we shall be doing this ourselves other than the vendor.
Plan of action so far:
Contact council - get local engineer to assess situation.
EPA Assessment & Design incl. percolation tests, test holes, machinery hire (1k approx)
Cost of PP:
Newspaper ad: 140euro
Council Fee: 40euro
Associated maps /plans required: ???
Installation of new system: 5k - 10k depending.
Any insight, advice or direction on the above would be hugely appreciated. Solicitor mentions the pitfalls of 'hidden costs' by taking this on ourselvs as condition of sale, and a few Engineers said involving the Council is correct starting point but could get very expensive!
Are there other costs we are missing? First time buyers on a challenge,hopefully not being to naieve!
All replies / opinions welcome...
