Residential property renovation and refurbishment in West London usually needs one or more official permits and licenses. Obtaining these involves considerable local knowledge, strong working relationships and lots of experience. Sorting out each aspect of your planning permission applications in Chelsea necessary for any property refurbishment in West London is often surprisingly complicated and time consuming. It can be extremely expensive if completed incorrectly, resulting in substantial delays or even putting an entire renovation project at risk.
Strong relationships and expertise
From the outset, we draw on many years’ experience and extensive knowledge of local planning requirements, listed building consents and combine this with our technical building expertise to offer clients the very best of advice. After establishing what is physically and legally possible for you to achieve with your renovation, we take great pride in guiding you toward practical and imaginative solutions. This ensures none of your time, effort or resources are wasted considering design options that may later prove to be either impractical, not permissible, or simply too costly to implement.
Breadth and depth of experience
Our architectural and interior design team, backed up by specialist consultants as required, is extremely capable and experienced:
• Obtaining planning approvals for extensions, re-modelling and change of use projects
• Securing consents required to modify Listed & Grade II listed buildings
• Sourcing licenses from freeholders for leasehold property renovation
• Liaising with Managing Agents
• Securing permissions for renovating apartments in mansion blocks
• Arranging Party Wall Agreements and Schedules of Condition
• Dealing with Building Control, ensuring compliance and certification from local authorities (a legal requirement for construction in the UK)
• Dealing with unforeseen requirements specific to your property refurbishment
Sourcing these required approvals and permissions takes a considerable amount of time, so we start the process within days of you appointing us. This allows applications to run concurrently, saving considerable stress, time, and effort for you.
Most residential architects only deal with a few of these issues – usually taking one step at a time. This is a logical and safe way to proceed as key design decisions are usually made later in the process when all the approvals are secured. However, the unforeseen problem for many property owners occurs when the detailed designing is deferred, prolonging the entire process which can become extremely protracted. You could wait many months, in extreme cases years, before building work can even begin.
Agility with confidence
At TylerMandic, our extensive experience in planning applications in Chelsea and dealing with all this paperwork and operating exclusively within 2 or 3 select neighbourhoods or just 7 postcodes allows us to make informed decisions and progress your design development and cost evaluations at the same time, as official replies and consents are in progress. Your project can usually start much earlier along with construction than might be possible with other architects.
By focusing on a more specific area we can ensure we are never spread too thin, trying to manage multiple locations across the country. This means we can be fully present and available for our clients in Chelsea and work on their projects exactly when we are needed.
Time costs money
Whether you are waiting to move into your new home or generate rental income from tenants occupying your property, we are particularly conscious of the inconvenience and expenditure incurred as a result of delays. Marginal gains in time can potentially save you significant amounts of money whilst you are living in alternative accommodation or losing rental income.
