These properties, known for their historical and architectural importance, require a very careful and respectful approach. Our RICS-qualified surveyors have extensive experience with listed buildings and are here to help you handle the unique challenges of owning and maintaining one.

What Are Listed Buildings?

Listed buildings are officially recognised as having special architectural or historic value, which comes with specific legal obligations to preserve their character. This means:

  • Strict rules around alterations, extensions, or demolitions.
  • The need to use traditional materials and methods for repairs.
  • Legal responsibility to maintain and protect original features.
  • Higher maintenance costs due to heritage considerations.
