Imagine buying a house and putting yourself in debt but not being allowed to do what you want with it. What a time to be alive

How does converting a garage effect the public? It's ok to live under a bridge but not a small cottage. The council should keep their stinking nose out of people's private property and pay more attention to real problems like abused children or the homeless or by making efforts to not waste millions of hard earned tax dollars.

I love this design, it's brilliant and so quaint. I wish I could see the interior. I believe what people do on their own property is their own business.

Why people feel the need to snitch about a person living in their garage or building a structure in their own damn yard is beyond me. Do you feel better watching them have to demolish something on their own property? People need to get lives, are you seriously circling the neighborhood looking for wrong doers!?

If they did not hurt anyone the bloody nosey council should leave people alone.

*Thank goodness I watched this! This vid helped me fall asleep!*

I had neighbors who renovated their garage into a rec room but kept the outside looking the same so they didn't have to get permits.

Well at my old house we didn't have enough rooms and my dad decided to make a room in the garage for my uncle. He had cable TV, heat, and radio in there... it was a nice room that I liked... we left the room there when we moved out and thinking about it just reminds me of my uncle who is now in a better place...

You drag the story to long!!!!

4 mins in. Why am I still watching this

Just reminds me why I like being a citizen, and not a subject.

Fun fact, in germany you legally aren't allowed to have a workbench in your garage, if someone really doesn't like you they can call the cops on you to force you to remove the workbench. And people ask me as to how I could possibly hate this country.

I guess what it boils down to is, you don't own anything. You lease it from the Government.

Here's a new rule: 1-Let people live the way they want on their property. 2-Authorities involve should be charge with harassment and face short jail time because its criminal according to me to inter the privacy of people in such a way.

Most of them are fought because of nosey jealous neighbours ....you could build something in a jungle someone will snitch.

When I see something like this it makes me want to live in the forest or on an island as far as possible away from other humans... so many of them are insane.

OMG WHO CARESSSSSS!!!!! Geez, they should be able to build a small house on their own property if they want... 😕😐

Its refreshing to learn that the U.S. government isn’t the feature in this story. 🙄

Just goes to show you that you realy don't own your property

2 types those who want to be left alone.....and those who won't leave them alone!

NB: Leicester is pronounced 'Less-ter' rather than 'Lie-chester'!

I'm in the U.S. and you can't even cut down a tree without obtaining a permit from the County.

OMG Sooooo boring!!! This story could’ve been told in 9 seconds instead of nearly 9 minutes!!!! Such a waste of time! A couple converted their garage into living quarters, then lied about it, then had to change it. Who the F cares!

Wow amazing how we still have councils and government that enforce such stupid rules just so everyone else in the community can keep their property values and being nosy neighbors.

It never ceases to amaze me how the council comes down hard on folks who OWN their property and make garages into living accommodation. Yet they can put non fire resistant cladding on a high rise tower causing the death of many tenants in Grenfell Tower. It seems there is a law for some but the council can do whatever it damned well pleases. I applied for an extension to my home and despite the fact not one neighbour complained with some even saying they liked it the council said the side extension was too high. This when it was well below the height of the existing house. Yet they recently sold land to a private building contractor making a fortune, who has now built a five story flat complex opposite flats and shops nearby. This plan is far higher than any extension I ever proposed, which I was told was not in keeping with local properties!! Like I said, a law for them and a law for us...It seems they can do as they please...we on the other hand have to jump through hoops. Its truly not fair. I am in a wheelchair and my extension was to create a bedroom and a bathroom and extend my kitchen to allow for my wheelchair on the ground floor which currently exists of a cloak toilet, lounge and kitchen (small) I also wanted to have a carers bedroom installed above the side extension... So that my carer could be accommodated. The property is currently a two bed end of terrace with a large piece of land at the side. I wanted to make it into a four bed...so that I would have a bedroom for my daughter who lives with us, a bedroom for us, a bedroom for my carer so that when she needed to sleep over she had her own space, and a guest bedroom for anyone visiting...Yet it was not allowed. Now I sleep in a caravan because it is all on one floor. I had no choice, because i could no longer manage the stairs in my own house... So I can no longer reside in it. I appealed and the council still said no!! Yet they passed cladding that was NOT fireproof on a high rise building causing the death of many...I mean WTF?!!! And they passed flats five stories high locally ...apparently they weren't to high at all!!!

Hang on a minute. Loads of people convert/ use sheds and garages as offices. They should have said that.

As long as there's someone who thinks they're in charge of what you own, you own nothing. It seems to me it's a immense waste of time buying property unless we're going to live forever. There's no way you're going to own it, no man on this planet owns land not one person, not one city, not one country.

“Li-Chester” 😂

Seems like the Brits are a bunch of nosy haters

This video never shows the inside of the garage.

Lie-Chester😆😆😆😂😂😂 Leicester is pronounced “Lester” like “uncle fester” 🇬🇧

So they removed the garage door when they converted the garage to a "garden annex". Put up a fence around it, then when they took the fence down, wanted to convert what they believed was a legal dwelling back to a garage now that people could see it? And they say they had no idea they were breaking any laws?

Jeez the UK seems like a bureaucratic nightmare.

Too many regulations. I should have the freedom to do what I want on my property within reason!!!

I hate the whole idea of not being able to do what you want within your own property.

This channel is a joke. I can't stand the speaker's voice. This video is much ado about nothing.

Someone actually made this video, unbelievable. It's so boring, it has inspired me, I'm off for a run, this is as low as my day is going to get, bye KZfaq, hello beach

I've just wasted 8.42 minutes of my life watching this video 😋

This is so weird because in America you can build an apartment upstairs from your garage they call it the mother in-law suite or the guest house they're just mad because the government didn't get any money from it that's all it is you cannot help anybody without the government getting a portion of the money that's how greedy the government is whether it's in England or United States

Your hole channel is click bait.every video is covering something way more boring then the tittle.

they could've just left the garage door like that and still live there tf😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😭😭😭😂😭

Stupid should be able to build whatever you want on your own property

No underground bunker. No meth lab. No prepping area. No armory. Nothing interesting at all. This sucked. I actually do believe what they turned the garage into. I'm not shocked at all. I am shocked that you thought I wouldn't believe it. What a waste.

Every time I hear this dudes voice Ik the video is just 10 mins of him re wording 30 seconds of information

Your land, your house...your call. Government is getting too long a reach these days...I think they were clever and imaginative. They should have been left alone. Shame on Bureaucratic Government telling everyone what they can and can't do with personal property.

It's dumb you can't build a house on your own land.. The hell with laws that controls you like a fool that you have no right to do what you want to do to your own property.

Holy fuk! This video only needed to be a minute long!

Councils in UK, Australia are dictators. You even have to make a written request to pull down an interior wall, change a window, change a door. Government needs to get out of our lives.

There hasn't been 'open land' in England since 1650, all land has been divided up & owned by someone, either individuals or local, regional or national government. The English have had to be quite strict on the usage of land otherwise developers would have built on every available plot of land, eliminating all farms, parks, etc. Because everything is so compact it's also recognized that what is done on a plot of land affects the property values on adjacent plots of land. Hence strict controls on uses & types & designs of structures. Americans visiting the U.K. are often startled at what is considered a full size house as the typical British full size house is about 60% of the size of an American house of the same design. I once lived in a 304 sq ft studio in Manhattan which I felt claustrophobic in yet some British friends thought it quite spacious. So a direct comparison between Britain & America in regards to land use & restrictions has to allow for the vast size difference & population density. It always startles me as how efficient the British are in the use of land, managing outside of the major cities to make the land seem far more rural than it really is. All that is due to strict controls, which were arrived at over a century ago out of necessity.

If the space can be used as a garage, why not a small cottage? It’s not going to alter the size of anything, be it a garage or a house 😏🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Shows you don't own your property,your nosy ass neighbors do.

I think it's perfectly fine to convert your garage into a legal dwelling, as long as members of your immediate family in there.....

The pronunciation of Leicester is so cringe worthy

Living in a community is a pain in the ass all the rules and regulations that's why country for me

So, this is a video about somebody that converted their garage into a living-quarter? It looks like the internet has ran out of stories.

"li-ches-ter", it's pronounced "less-ter" lol

Leicester is pronounced LESSTER, ffs.

Same goes on here with HOA's

Lmao I love that the comments on the same page as me about him repeating himself just to kill time

The city is Leicester and pronounced Lester, not Liechester! What’s amazing is these are 2 trusted professionals and they are risking their integrity and possibly bringing their profession into disrepute.

Same thing happens in Australia. Can't do anything on YOUR land without council approval. You never really own your land. Rates is just like rent.

Is it a meth lab? Edit: It wasn't a meth lab, it was just a gay little house.

Did you know, this channel hid its content behind a click-bait title until anyone with half a mind discovered their scheme.

I think this is really cool. Hear in NZ people are living In damp unmodifed garages do to the insaine prices of houses. The fact that these people renovated theirs into a tiny home is really cool and to be honest I wish they did that here

My home, my castle. Leave me alone government!

That is so messed up!

Have everything fold into the walls and now have room for car, wink wink..

I am on the side of he the doctors. A long time ago in a state far away I lived in a converted garage for about a year. This was an unofficial conversion - the same horrendous l crime they are being charged with. It provided me, a lowly grad student, adorable housing close to the school I was attending and the owners of the property a little extra income.

It's not the county of "Lye-chester" or even "Lye-sester". Leicester is pronounced "Lester". [Gloucester is "Gloster" and Worcester is "Wuster"].

kinda click baitey,let us seeee

Thanks again for your time to share.😍😘

This is why I will never live in a 'deed restricted' community. This same crap with owners of private property happens in the US all the time.

It's a shame the people cant build whatever they want on their property.

I thought it was going to be an underground terrorist training camp.

omg, how did i end up here? I'm out, this is sending me asleep, lol

It’s just a posh shed in the garden, you can put pods at the end of your garden, it could be converted back quite easily, you can convert garage built adjoined to the house so what’s the difference?

So do you REALLY own your home?

I think a lot of people are jealous.lots of tell tales out there.

So much for having your own rights on your own property!

So, housing cars is more important than housing people? That is the exact message given by these laws. Absolutely foolish.

Looks like they have more than enough parking X2 drive ways on the same road as everyone else. Sounds like they live in a suburb full of cranky bored old people

Oh nooo! I made a change to the private property that I own! This is why you do not want to have a homeowners association or a council (I'm assuming a local council in the UK is the equivalent of a homeowners association in the US).

Where the f*** is Lie-chester? 😂😂😂

Yet the council won't pay the cost for the public to comply.

In other words, in the UK you have no property rights.

I like turtles

Lmao a video about a garage converted to a house. Damn you KZfaq

I agree with the doctors, it's there property. Not the neighbors or the building committee. No one would prop up a garage to hide something, it would have had to be installed to hide it.

Im dissapointed it wasnt a rocket they built to fly to the moon to get cheese.

Here in the UK? you need planning permission if you wish to extend or add to your property. If you only wish to change the way you 'use' the building your in? you still need to inform the council planners to make sure everything is done to current' building regulations. This couple, attempted to get around both of them issues. These 2 are NOT of low IQ. They are both doctors therefore 1 would consider them to have a 'brain' between their ears. They both 'knew' what they were doing. They both 'knew' it was wrong. If they were un-sure? then all they had to do was visit their local council planners and simply 'ask' for advice. Did they do that? NO! WHY did they not do that? (you decide). But as always, right at the end, when caught with your pants down? they come up with the usual trump card, 'racism'. I got NO simpathy with people like this. There is NO excuse what-so-ever. Trouble is, THIS type of thing is wayyyy too prevelant in the UK, and guess what? it is a very popular issue among people of ethnic minority. Trust me, this I KNOW!

It’s sad that these people are not allowed to do what they want on their own property.

Governments say you own but the truth is your only renting government property.

I just don’t know why there was so much fuss about it.

Thank you for wasting 5 minutes of my life

Authorities didn't discover anything, some neighbors squealed on them.

It's a shame that you can't do what you want on your own property without people complaining.

This is B.S. you should be able to do what you want on YOUR OWN PROPERTY as long as it doesn't interfere with your neighbor or hurt anyone.

Big-Mouthed neighbors should have minded their own business.

It use to be LAW that every home had a bunker for bombings during the war and when a siren went off, lights out, everyone to the bunker. Did the parliament do away with that law⁉️

i was waiting for this to be a meth lab but nah lol
