Thinking of buying a Grade II Listed House but......
Comments (13)Hi Dean, fingers crossed you are correct re the listing..however I'd suggest you double check on britishlistedbuildings.co.uk Also......remember that there are other aspects which might still restrict what you can do, for example if you are close to another listed building and/or in a conservation area. So regardless of if it's listed or not my strong advice is to speak your local planning team before you proceed. Nearly everyone on this thread has said the same, that it's better to have an upfront conversation. Every local area is different and you might find something useful/encouraging/terrifying from speaking to them. It might help you on house price negotiation too. Come back and tell us if your offer is accepted.... A-M...See MoreUK Grade II listed house
Comments (7)Hi, I have done quite a few Grade ll listed properties. Just finished one called Moor Hall. I'm sure you know already but I must warn you they run away with budget very fast and you need to literally double any timescale you had planned on to allow for listed planning permission, bats, conservation issues etc etc... Your best bet is too contact the local planning department and ask to speak to the conservation officer. He will give you the information you need. It's usually a dilemma insofar as the listing officer will not like the idea of you touching anything but you obviously have to make some changes to renovate. There are no set rules, it's usually down to a negotiation where you set out in detail what you want to do, draw it up and supply a statement to illustrate how the work will be done. If he approves your good to go. This process can take a long time negotiating between what you want and what he/she will allow. Moor Hall was scheduled to take 12 months, it took almost two years.... You also have to consider modern building regulations, fire regs etc. They will insist on certain alterations then the conservation officer won't let you do it as it will damage the fabric of the building.... This will take a lot of negotiation to please both parties. I would highly recommend you employ a local architect with a track record of dealing with listed properties and dealing with your local council. Its a lot of effort but its worth it to see the building coming back to life, its so rewarding. Here are a few pictures of Moor Hall to inspire you. This was a shell of a building when we started.
