Do I need to obtain permits for all work on a house?

Generally, the rule is that any work on the exterior of a house always requires a permit. For interior work, this rule does not consistently apply unless the changes are significant. Additionally, there are specific regulations for certain rooms like bedrooms and bathrooms. It is mandatory that the floor plans on file with the land registry accurately represent the house's current layout. Therefore, if you have altered the house's configuration, you must update the floor plans in the land registry.
