Egmont ROAD, SUTTON

We purchased this period property after being approached directly by the owners. The property was once their parents family home and a lodger who occupied the ground floor became a sitting tenant, so the owners converted upper parts to 3 flats some 30 years ago and kept the property as an investment. This had all been done without planning permission or building regulations. The building was an unbroken freehold, meaning that there were no leases for the flats, All flat had been occupied by long term tenants and the building was vacant but in needed a full program of modernisation. The issue of having a building converted to flats without planning consent and without leases in place rendered the property unmortgageable and the owners contacted Spring Developments having been recommended by a friend for our friendly yet reliable approach.

The project involved the substantial refurbishment and reconfiguration of the two properties taking almost 18 months to complete.The rear extensions spanning both properties were demolished and rebuilt. Both buildings were taken back to a brick with all floors and internal staircases being removed. New party walls were built and the buildings were subdivided and fitted out to an extremely high standard. This development now comprises a stunning selection of 4 x 2 bedroom and 2 x 1 bedroom apartments.
