Before you buy a London property to refurbish, it pays to know what is realistically possible, what it will cost, and what could block it — while you can still negotiate or walk away.
A pre-purchase feasibility brings design, structural and surveying judgement together: what can be reconfigured or extended, the likely budget range, and the planning, conservation, leasehold and party-wall constraints that will shape the project.
We assess the property as a design-and-build team, with RICS sister-company surveying support, so your decision is based on realistic numbers and constraints rather than hope.
The condition and structure, what can be opened up or extended, planning and conservation-area limits, listed-building constraints, leasehold terms and likely Licence to Alter, party-wall exposure, and an honest budget range for the scope you have in mind.
The difference between a good and a poor purchase is often what you can do to it. A feasibility tells you whether your plans are achievable, what they cost, and where the risks are — before exchange, not after.
If you proceed, the feasibility becomes the basis of the design and a defined-scope fixed price. The same team carries it from assessment through approvals and into the build.
One team for design, approvals, surveying and build — across prime London.
