In short: Development opportunities in London include extensions and loft conversions, permitted development changes of use (such as some offices or shops to homes, subject to conditions), small infill sites and larger regeneration plots. The key risk is planning, so many buyers use conditional contracts or options that complete only once permission is granted. Budget for CIL, Section 106 contributions, professional fees and finance, and allow a contingency. Fraser Bond can value end products and sell or let the completed scheme.
