The property suffered from severe subsidence which prevented a normal purchaser with a mortgage from buying it.
We obtained planning permission to put an extra floor on top and to extend the basement rear addition.
At the same time as sorting out the subsidence, we lowered the basement floor to give it a better ceiling height.
The property sold within a few weeks of being on the market at £105,000 over the asking price. It is (as of 2013) home to a world famous musician.
