Planning granted

Matthew Power • Aug 04, 2022

Spring Developments are pleased to announce that we have recently received full planning permission to restore and convert this currently uninhabitable property into three luxury apartments. This development is our second project in Twickenham having purchased and converted the adjoining building in 2019.

Planning permission for this site has taken considerably longer than normal which has been a hugely frustrating for our team who were lined up to commence construction at the start of 2022. Across many London boroughs we are finding similar delays in the planning process with a number of minor applications that would normally be decided within 8 weeks taking up to 6 months and sometimes longer! We are now in the process of getting everything ready to commence on site in September 2022 with completion expected in March 2023.

Spring Developments are currently looking to acquire similar properties for conversion or refurbishment. We offer a flexible approach to each acquisition and are happy to consider properties with potential on a subject to planning basis or to purchase immediately using cash funds. As an example this particular property was purchased using cash funds and contracts were exchanged within 4 days. The seller wanted a bit of time to find another property so completion took place 3 months after the exchange, the property was purchased fully furnished as this suited the seller who didn't want the hassle of having to clear the house. It's worth noting that when we purchased the property next door we also exchanged contracts in 4 days, although that time we completed immediately. Both properties being unmortgageable, derelict, uninhabitable, unsafe and unsuitable for disposal on the open market.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these apartments and would like to find out more information and join our early buyers waiting list then please do not hesitate to get in touch please send us an email to info@spring-developments.com with your full contact details and we will get in touch with you straight away, alternatively you can send us a message via our contact page. Please also feel free to reach out to us if you have a property you would like to sell. All enquiries are handled in the strictest of confidence and without any obligation to proceed.

NEW PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION

By Matthew Power • 06 Dec, 2022

Our latest project in Twickenham is now officially under construction! Over the next 6 months we will be restoring this beautiful period building which dates back to 1905 to its former glory whilst converting it to 3 spacious luxury apartments. Having already restored and converted the building next door we are excited to be working on this project with the same contractors KWP Build By Design. The property is situated within a few hundred yards of Twickenham Station and early interest is anticipated so if this is an area you are considering purchasing in then please do not hesitate to get in touch to receive additional information about this property. Our approach to property acquisition is to seek out properties and buildings that have reach a point where they are no longer habitable and are in a derelict or totally unmodernised condition. We are cash buyers so in most cases can proceed with the purchase in a matter of only a few days. Following acquisition we will often seek some form of planning gain to enable us to repurpose the property to suit a wider range of occupiers but in all cases we approach the refurbishment with a view that we are looking to increase the life span of the building for many generations to come. Often this involves stripping the building back to the original brick work and starting from scratch introducing new floors, internal walls and modern fittings, renewing all timbers windows and drainage, whilst rectifying any structural issues along the way. This property was in a terrible condition and restoration will be a long process but buyers can be assured that apart from the brick shell and the beautiful stair case everything will be brand new and finished to our usual exceptionally high standard!
