We have been offered a nice three-window house. To make it suitable for us, we would need to connect the ground floor and first floor with an additional staircase to create a duplex. My concern is that the attic contains a small rented apartment, which in my opinion only has one emergency exit via the main staircase. I hope that the existing building regulations (“grandfathering”) apply here, but I am worried that the planned renovation might affect this protection. Since we are currently still in the phase of deciding whether it is even worth visiting the property/getting a building inspection/consulting an architect, it would be great if someone could help me out. Many thanks in advance!

Unless there are restrictions due to listed building or conservation area status, I see at least a complex intervention in the structural stability.

As it stands, it is simply throwing out rare possibilities. Completely unacceptable.ypg schrieb:

1. The creation of a ceiling opening the size of a stairwell is planned, which means a structural intervention—not trivial, certainly;
2. The term "Dreifensterhaus" was mentioned (this is a type of house that usually has architectural heritage significance and is commonly found in continuous urban development) — at minimum, the initial suspicion of potential ensemble protection should be investigated before assuming it can be treated like an ordinary used house.
