Pirton Limited concentrates on properties in the central London area, where it has gained an enviable reputation in the development of roof spaces above existing residential apartment blocks.

As well as outright purchase Pirton Limited will carry out development and investment acquisitions in joint venture with a small number of funding and development partners.

We are also able to provide a property and development consultancy role in these fields should the opportunity arise and if it is more appropriate. This gives Pirton Limited an added degree of flexibility.

With considerable assets we are able to make swift decisions.

Because of our specialist knowledge of penthouse development, we are able to advise building owner's on the feasibility of a potential scheme at a very early stage and give good, sound advice on all matters such as:-

• Structural capacity of the building
  • Can the building easily take further development without costly and disruptive underpinning or without strengthening the building fabric?
  • If major structural upgrading is required how much will it cost?
• Fire Escape Provisions and Building Regulations:
  • Is it relatively easy to upgrade the building to comply with current regulations?
• Services
  • Can the existing services such as gas, electricity and water cope with increased demand?
• Tax Issues
  • What are the tax implications for the Flat owners if the 'value' of the roof space is spent on upgrading the building?
• Security and disruption
  • Do the Flat occupiers have to vacate the building or can they remain in occupation? How long will it all take? How disruptive will it be for the occupiers?
• Value:
  • How much is the roof space worth?
