the plans may not be on record anywhere depending on how old the house is. It its noew, the architects, engineers and contractors would have a copy. They aren't going to be a huge help and a survey would be required.


As for permissions, planning probably isn't required unless you are changing any external features.

I'm not sure why you ask about a management company.
Do you own the house or not?

House is relatively new 3 years, so I presume I will find plans alright, will start contacting soon, the reason I mentioned menagement company even if I own house is that there is unfortunately one and charging well beyond service beeing provided (cleaning estate, landshaping..).Structural damage insurance is included and mayby that may be an issue? Will check it out, thanks for advice.

The managment company are only concerned with the estate not the house. If you own the house you can alter the internals

Your local authority will have this information on file.

No they won't.
Planning drawings won't show full plans.
