As mentioned before, this will depend on the property. In addition to the location of property in urbanised areas, the grant of planning permission will also depends on the conformity of the proposed development with local plans. Further construction and demolition work requires appropriate authorisations from the local authority. Some private houses may once have been lived in by someone famous in this case getting consent may be difficult. Development is however taking place. Our advise is to investigate the situation in relation to the property in which you are interested in and to consider carefully what you want to do. In many cases it will be easier for a local person to obtain the necessary permits and consents than for a foreigner. Again, consider making your acquisition subject to the seller obtaining the permits and consents that you want. It may well increase the price of the property but may also be worth it!
