Planning granted

Matthew Power • August 4, 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.

Peckham SE15

By Matthew Power • October 10, 2025

Refurbishment of this 3 bedroom period home in Peckham SE15 is now complete and this stunning period property is now available for sale. The property had not been refurbished or properly maintained since the 1970's and has been given a new lease of life. Following a successful planning application to rebuild a dilapidated side bay window, alter some openings and make some cosmetic changes and upgrades our main contractors embarked on this thoughtfully planned refurbishment project. The property has been fully refurbished, featuring new double-glazed sash windows, a complete rewire and re-plumb and a new Worcester boiler with Hive smart control. Full fibre broadband connectivity has been installed. The ground floor has new damp-proofing, tanking and insulation throughout. The roof has been overhauled and a Velux window has been installed above the bathroom and a sun tunnel designed to compliment the vaulted ceilings at the rear of the house. On the ground floor, there is a bright and spacious lounge through diner with a bay window to the front. To the rear, the original dining room and kitchen have been combined into one generous space. The original dilapidated bay window has been replaced with a striking welded-glass feature box bay and with the additional bi-folding doors opening directly onto the landscaped garden natural light now floods into the property. The kitchen is a sleek, handleless design with marble quartz worktops and splash backs and has been fitted with Bosch integrated appliances. A new spacious ground-floor WC has been introduced to the property and under the stairs has been used to provide a utility room and additional practical storage. Upstairs, there are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, which has been enlarged to include both a separate shower and a full-sized bath. Externally, the rear of the property has been finished with coloured silicone render, giving a crisp, modern appearance. The garden has been landscaped with new fencing, a patio area and a freshly laid lawn, along with outdoor lighting and a water tap. Every aspect of this property has been carefully considered and executed to a high standard, resulting in a truly turnkey home in one of Peckham's most desirable locations.

Project update

By Matthew Power • September 23, 2024

We are pleased with progress at our site in the London Borough of Sutton where the substructure has now been completed and the detached bungalow is starting to take shape. This project has been constructed using SIPs, fabricated off site and assembled onsite over the past 4 weeks. This method of construction provides excellent over all thermal performance with low U values, reduced thermal bridging and excellent air tightness. In addition the property will have air source heat pumps, PV and a Bauder green roof all designed to make the property ultra energy efficient. We are currently working with our Kitchen and bathroom designers and have been working with our architects to improve some of the landscaping design. This detached 2 bedroom bungalow is expected to be completed in December 2024. If you are interested in purchasing this property and would like to find out more please do not hesitate to get in touch. info@spring-developments.com
