Q: We would like to install a new underground garage below the existing garden which is common property.

The common property would be restored over the garage to the net impact to the space is zero and the amenity/ usability of the space would be improved.

Could you let us know key steps to achieve this and any obstacles/issues to be aware of?

A: The land below the garden may not be owned by this scheme, it may have Crown grants or other impediments. It’s recommended that you gain specialist advice around this.
