Tower Hamlets holds two very different prime markets. In Spitalfields, the early-eighteenth-century houses on Fournier Street, Elder Street and Princelet Street. In Wapping and Limehouse, lateral apartments in converted riverside warehouses. We also work on the Georgian squares of Bow, around Tredegar Square and Victoria Park.
The houses
Spitalfields houses are almost all listed, with original panelling, staircases and shutters, and need restoration rather than renovation. Wapping warehouses offer large open floors, exposed structure and river views, but come with building rules set by the freeholder.
Planning in Tower Hamlets
Tower Hamlets determines applications. In Spitalfields, listed building consent governs almost every change. In Wapping, planning is rarely the obstacle: the licence to alter from the freeholder and managing agent is, with rules on structure, acoustics, wet rooms and working hours.
What it means for you
For a Spitalfields house we start with the listing. For a Wapping apartment we start with the lease. Either way, consent is secured before a programme is promised.
