Resolving Planning & Compliance Challenges to Unlock Value

Project Overview

This substantial former student HMO remained unsold for over 12 months following the passing of the previous owner. A previous sale collapsed after the purchaser was unable to obtain finance due to the absence of a Certificate of Lawful Development.

The Challenge

The property faced planning uncertainty, financing difficulties, a failed previous transaction and substantial refurbishment requirements.

A previous lawful development application had also been refused.

Our Approach

Blue Pennant reviewed the property’s history, assessed the available evidence and agreed terms subject to securing a successful Certificate of Lawful Development.

Working alongside professional consultants, a comprehensive evidence-based application was prepared and submitted.

Improvement Strategy

  • Certificate of Lawful Development strategy
  • Planning support
  • Compliance improvements
  • Full refurbishment
  • Operational repositioning

Outcome

Following the successful award of the Certificate of Lawful Development, the property will be repositioned into a high-specification eight-bedroom all-ensuite professional HMO.
