Pelham Place- South Kensington, London, SW7. (Full end to end service)
INHOUS was engaged by a private client to search for a family home in Kensington/ Chelsea. Utilising our exclusive network, we sourced an off-market Grade II listed town house in Pelham place, SW7. The property needed a full refurbishment. The client who was based overseas was reluctant to take on the project due to the many uncertainties of development.
We conducted a pre-purchase appraisal advising the client of the likely additional space that could be gained by way of an extension together with the costs associated with the refurbishment. This information was compiled in conjunction with a trusted Architect who understood the restraints of the Grade II listing and had experience working with the planners in the borough. Armed with this Knowledge the purchaser was confident and satisfied to commit to the purchase.
On completion of the sales process, INHOUS set about assembling a design team to do concept designs, which when agreed with the client went forward to a pre-planning application. Following a successful outcome of pre-app, a full planning permission application was lodged. During this period, we stared assembling the rest of the project team which included, Engineers, party wall surveyors, Quantity surveyors, Service consultants and interior designers. The project was budgeted and issued to contractors by way of a competitive tender, following which a contractor was appointed. INHOUS was involved in all of the above processes and advised and reported back to the client each step of the way. Following contractor appointment INHOUS appointed a client representative project manager who oversaw the project to completion. The full process from pre purchase to completion was 24 months.
