Ah yes I know the sort of things. I lived in a similar sort of place in Nottingham a few years back. Our front wall had to be replaced with the right kind of stone after a car drove through it. Total pain and very expensive (£19000 for a wall!)
In your case it's the bureaucracy that is broken because "conservation" appears to stump common sense and energy efficiency. I'd argue the latter is so tied to the former that it makes little sense to not modify listed buildings.
I wish you luck in the future with that one - we moved on after much pain to a easy to modify Victorian detached place.
- arethuza 13y agoActually the bureaucracy isn't too bad - by far the worst is simply getting agreement with other owners over what to do! Buying property in a place like the New Town of Edinburgh is going to come with difficulties and costs - and frankly given the option of staying where we are or moving to a new build I'd take the older buildings every time!
