Many insights for a beginner here! Thank you Tom
You’re welcome
Great thoughts on the due diligence required for buildings of historic note, any thoughts about similar needs when the house comes with a significant amount of land (also of historical note) and water-features etc. I gather that there will be local TPO in place and a certain amount of wildlife/environmental needs to consider. Thank you Tom.
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome!

Looking at Lordship Cottage in much Haddam, and advice beyond the very helpful contribution you have given thus far greatly appreciated. Longer term not keen on the conservatory and would like to extend.
Sorry I missed this comment. You can contact me - tom@tomsoane.co.uk and I'll see if I can help.
Hi Tom, I've just purchased a grade 2 listed commercial/residential in Suffolk so very good advice! I've contacted the selling agent to see if they've a local lawyer so thank you!
And I am def going to take your advice on the local builder.
Thank you
Nice one Tracey! Lovely part of the world
Great video mate .we’re going through buying one now a old church house .can we make loft storage with a stairway
Hi Tom. Thanks for making the great video. I'm looking to buy a G2 listed cottage (end-terrace) in Sutton which has been recently refurbished and modernised. The current owner did a ground floor kitchen extension on the rear side which took up the entire rear garden. The question is, would it be possible to do a first-floor bathroom extension on top of the extended kitchen connecting a bedroom and turn it into an en-suite? And who should I speak with to understand the feasibility prior to making purchase decision?
Hi, sorry I completely missed this comment and this would be tough for me to answer but certainly speak to a planning consultant or a local architect firm. Good luck!
Looking at a barn (small) grade 11 listed but it’s to be demolished 🤗 and rebuild one for one.
I love the location and the little barn is adorable thatch roof etc.
Sounds great!
I’m a first time buyer and looking to buy a G2 listed farmhouse. Are the levels or restrictions based upon the year it was built or level of grade listing?
It’s both. The grade refers to level of restrictions but lenders etc will also want to know when it was built.
Nice video mate! Where can I drop you a line for some advice? 😀
Hi mate, email me - tom@pinkstreet.co.uk
Hiya,
We are viewing a grade 2 listed property which is in the south east in the morning fallen in love with it but it needs its roof and windows replacing but wouldn’t be able to afford to do it straight away, how does this process work or should we just avoid it
Many thanks
Could you get quotes first? You could ask the current owner to reduce it from the purchase price or you could look into borrowing the money to do the work and then refinancing to pay the borrowed money back. As long as it's affordable and you've calculated the risk.
Great advice. 👍 My question would you buy a Grade 2 Listed Building 2 Bed Terrace House at Auction. Note: Due to the poor iternal condition of the property viewings will not be conducted. Thanks Mark
Hi Mark, good question. First, get a builder to carry out a visual inspection from the outside. At least they'll flag any obvious defects or risks. Second, work out the worst case scenario and then work out how much that worst case scenario would cost you to put right. Factor that into your offer. All problems can be fixed, it's just a matter of how much it costs. Last, speak with a local chartered surveyor to find out if they've ever had any dealings with this property in the past. They might sell you information, they might give it to you for free. Don't ask, don't get. Also, if you're buying with a bridging loan or finance, ket me know and I'll connect you with my mortgage advisor who will help you out - tom@soanegroup.co.uk
Was looking at a stage 2 listed building today and its had the windows changed without permission.
Trying to work out if there is a fine with it. As the legal pack for the house states I in heritage the problem.
You won't be fined as you did not cause the damage, but you will be liable to restore it back to it's original condition.
Check with you lawyer to see if you can take an indemnity policy against it. There could be some flexibility.
House market is crazy and I am looking at a grade 2 building bargain. The building has big garden next to a farm, but the situation is too bad, need completely refurbish. One thing I worry is how to get the house energy efficient, such us double glazing window and insulation. Is it difficult to get planning permission for it? How can I get some consultant of whether it is worth to buy it ?
You need a qualified Energy Assessor to carry out an energy performance inspection. This report will show you all the things you could do to improve the energy performance of a building. I'm happy to connect you with the Energy Assessor that works on the properties my letting agent manages if you'd like. Email me - tom@tomsoane.com
Where are you working in the UK, please?
I live on the South Coast but operate nationally
Hi tom, thanks for the video,
We are currently looking into buying a grade two listed building,
The kitchen and bathroom are relatively new ( definitely not old enough to have any historical significance ) 20 years old or so at most
Would we still need building consent to remove them & renew with nicer materials?
Hi mate, no that seems to be fine as long as you're not altering the actual structure or the parts of the building that are protected by the listing. That's normally the external appearance more than internal aesthetics. Good luck! Send some before and after pictures
Many thanks for this!. I’ve heard that gathering consent can take weeks.. Will keep you updated, thanks again appreciate the help as there seems to be many grey areas ! 😅
I am considering a Grade 2 Listed Building, I love the charm, the size and the possibilities, but this building is also listed as commercial and would need to be converted to residential. I can already tell by the pictures that it will probably need 100-200k worth of work inside just to make it livable, and still it just fascinates me to imagine the end result!
And people love to live in them too so there is always a good demand from tenants
I believe that is a Grade 3 listed beard
I believe you are correct. It should be protected at all costs
Getting a building survey done is a waste of money it's better and cheaper to get different builders around .
Definitely disagree. Builders are not surveyors, they both look at different things and produce different reports. If you intend to sell or refinance you should have a chartered surveyor so you know what to have done for the next stage of the project
