adding second story to an extension

Idonotknow · 2019-11-13 14:02:24

Currently looking at an end of terrace house that has a single story extension built that joins up to the next house (they extended 2 story to the side). So I have 2 questions really - Would there likely be a structural issue to adding the 2nd floor? Would there likely be a block in planning permission?

1. Structure to be determined on site by structural engineer
2. Given that there is precedence next door, planning seems feasible

Would a surveyor have a clue about the structural possibility? wondering if it could be checked at that stage while possibly buying

No, because the foundations will have to be exposed to determine their width, depth etc
