Are you thinking of buying a listed building?

When purchasing, it's crucial to be aware that any unauthorised alterations or extensions carried out by previous owners become the new owners' responsibility. If unauthorised work is discovered, you could face fines and be required to cover the cost of any necessary repairs. Uncovering such work can significantly impact the early discussions surrounding the property's price, making it essential to be vigilant during purchasing.

Additionally, we can provide guidance and advice on any future alterations or extensions you may wish to make, and where plans may not be feasible, we can suggest alternative solutions.

Our deep knowledge of the legislation around listed buildings means the insights provided during surveys are of great value.

We also undertake measured building surveys to prepare scale drawings of your property for the application. This helps us get to know your building and saves our clients significant costs over hiring a separate surveyor.
