Another recent development in Gravesend. This property is uninhabitable and needs a complete refurb. Whilst we're at it, we'll also do a loft conversion, rear extension, create new en-suites, and fit out with all the latest mod-cons. We aim to complete this project within 3 months! πŸ’ͺ🏼😊

In April 2018 a local pub closed down and went on sale with a commercial estate agent. After our first viewing we placed an offer for the full asking price. Exchange and completion took place within 3 months!!! It took us a year to obtain full planning permission for a 13 unit co-living scheme.
Unfortunately due to social changes, a "triple whammy" tax burden, the smoking ban and other issues, the pub was struggling for many years and it finally closed down in 2018.
The pub's owners wanted exchange within 4 weeks and complete 2 weeks later, so there was no time to do a pre-planning application or to have any meaningful discussion with the council about how averse they would be to a) lose a pub (a potential community asset), and b) convert it into shared accommodation. There was a significant risk that planning would not be approved for what we wanted, but we had plans b, c, d and e (2 semis, 8 bed HMO after refurb, run as a pizzeria with flats upstairs, convert into our office, etc.)
We will be sharing our progress (and regresses) here, warts and all!
