Chimney breast removal
What permissions and documents do I need for a Chimney breast removal in a first floor bedroom? The chimney breast is on a shared wall of a 1930s semi-detached house. The downstairs living room chimney breast has already been removed - should there be a certificate for how structurally sound this removal was when it was removed? (We are buying this house)
Can I put a toilet on the front wall of my house?
I am hoping to move around some of the rooms in a house I just bought, and I wanted to move the bathroom to the front of the house. If the toilet is on the same wall as my front door, will I need a waste pipe at the front of my house? I’m hoping there are other options!

Bathroom move from downstairs to upstairs
I'm looking to move my bathroom from downstairs to upstairs. (It's an old house). The main building work, I guess, would be to cut a hole for, and install, a frosted-glass window, and cut a hole for a toilet and bath/sink waste pipes. I know where I want the bathroom and have started to stud out part of a bedroom to accommodate it. My question is, ballpark, how much to do the window and the waste holes, and what permissions would I need.
Moving a door - fixing/building wall
Our house is a typical 1930 mid-terraced house. When you enter you see a wall at the end of the corridor, because the kitchen door is under/behind the stairs. We want to move the door to the left side of the wall (so you can see it when you enter the house) and close the area under the stairs to make storage space. How much would cost to fix/build the wall (where the door sits currently) and open a door on the left side?

Lateral restraint strap installation
Hi we had this on our structural survey of a 1930s property we are hoping to buy in Manchester: 'To eliminate further lateral movement affecting the front and rear elevation a series of lateral restraint straps need to be installed to tie the affected wall back to the first floor joists.' Any ideas of price for this job? And would it involve much disruption/need for redecorating to the inside of the property? Thanks
