Period

A period property dates back to a specific architectural era where it retains valuable heritage features typical of the time.

A period property will require special consideration, especially if it is listed or located within a conservation area or area of architectural importance. Naturally, the local authority and other relevant bodies including English Heritage will take a particularly close interest in the project. They will appoint a Historic Building Officer to review the proposals so that the heritage value of the building and its surroundings are protected.
