Unused Working Men's Club to 10 Apartment Homes

Commercial to Residential

Unused Working Men's Club to 10 Apartment Homes

10 units · 10 apartment homes

challenge
A Working Men's Club no longer in use — a large, deeply planed building standing empty and deteriorating, with limited daylight to its centre, restricted access, and residential amenity considerations on every boundary.
strategy
Feasibility and viability appraisal tested against the local plan, an apartment-led unit mix of ten homes, and early review of planning, access, fire strategy and Building Regulations before capital was committed.
outcome
Ten apartment homes delivered within the existing structure — a long-vacant community building brought back into everyday use, with the ten-unit target met in full.
Grade II Listed Aparthotel Development

Heritage

Grade II Listed Aparthotel Development

A sensitive heritage building requiring listed building consent, specialist contractors and a viable long-term operating model.
strategy
Early engagement with conservation officers, a carefully sequenced refurbishment plan and a hospitality-led income strategy.
outcome
A restored landmark brought back into use as a premium aparthotel while preserving its architectural character.
Residential Conversion Project

Residential

Residential Conversion Project

challenge

Client Perspectives

"Joshua's feasibility report changed our view of the site entirely. We renegotiated the price and avoided a costly planning risk we hadn't seen."

A Considered Approach

Most Property Problems Start Before Construction

The greatest development risks rarely appear during the build.

They happen during acquisition. They happen when opportunities are assessed incorrectly.

Our role is to provide clarity before commitment, helping investors and developers make confident decisions from the very beginning.
