From Greenwich’s Rightmove data, what are the number of planning permission applications?
In the UK, planning applications result in a success rate of 82% most of the time. In Greenwich, people plan to make modifications to their properties and apply for planning permission with a planning success rate of nan.
This is interesting data for investors in particular. An above average success indicates renovations are tried and tested and likely an investment from landlords. This is a great opportunity for investors to model what works in the area and do the same. On the other hand, a lower approval indicates there are more ambitious proposals in the area and of the 11 monthly planning applications in Greenwich, property here is more difficult to conduct improvements on.
If you don’t want to deal with planning permission, consider buying a property as a leaseholder which means you don’t own the land and any planning permission is done by the freeholder who owns the land.
If you do this, you will have to look at when a leasehold expires as well as other disadvantages though. However, there are pros and cons of being a leaseholder or a freeholder. For instance, as a freeholder, you may have to evict a leaseholder in a process known as a forfeiture of lease. So, pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages and what path you actually want to go down.
