Listed status, foundations and scope to alter
A canal house comes with history and with obligations. Establish whether it is a national or municipal monument, because that governs what you may change to the facade, the frames and the interior — and which grants or tax schemes apply. Have the foundations and timber surveyed, ask about earlier foundation works, and in divided buildings review the deed of division and the owners' association. We arrange the survey and the listed-building file before you bid.
