Renovating between exchange and completion
Discussion
Not sure what section to put this? As we seem to discuss a lot of BTL here I thought it was as good a place as any.
Just exchanged on a property. Its ex council and is currently vacant. I would like to complete ASAP but understand this particular council usually take 8-12 weeks. I have acquired a set of keys and am considering starting the renovations early so I can get a tenet in there as soon as we complete.
Whats the worst that could happen?

Seller won't give access, let alone approval to renovate.
However this is a vacant property and a highly incompetent local authority so Im struggling to see how they would find out? I would leave it a few weeks so the neighbours would assume we had completed.
Anyone know the legal situation if they did find out and want to pull out after contracts have been exchanged, is it a case of me having to take them to court?
