An empty office, shop or pub is a building in the wrong use class. Changing it — office or retail to residential, and more — can multiply what the building is worth. We secure the consent and carry out the conversion under one contract.

The right route mapped for your building

Consent and conversion from one team

Class MA prior approval or full planning — whichever fits

Which use change, by which route.

What your feasibility study covers

01 — The routes

The Use Classes Order groups every building by use; some switches need no application at all, some need prior approval under Class MA, and some need full planning. We map your building's options and pick the route with the best certainty-to-value ratio.

Buildings where the value moves most.

02 — Where it works

Secondary offices, upper floors above retail, pubs and period buildings in residential streets — where the gap between commercial and residential value is widest, a change of use is the single biggest lever an owner holds.

The conversion itself.

03 — After consent

Consent creates the value; the build realises it. As conversion contractors we take the same building from approval through strip-out, reconfiguration and fit-out — one contract, no gap between the permission and the works.
