We moved 6 months ago to a property which is part of a converted former school. Before offering on this house we got very close to offering on another but withdrew because it needed work that we were unable to get permission for because it is listed. There was an awful lot of palaver to get to that stage so we made the decision that we wouldn't view any more listed properties.
When we found our now home, one of the first questions we raised with the agent and the lawyers was whether it is listed- all confirmed not. Happy days, move in.
Since then we have been told by most of the neighbours, repeatedly, that the building is listed. I always breezily respond that it isn't, but they won't have it. Thing is, they keep saying that as a community we can't do this or that that needs doing or would improve the environment because it's listed. IT ISN'T LISTED ffs!
How do I prove it? Do I need to get whatever official confirmation that our solicitor got at the time of purchase? It's bonkers, if you came here and looked around it would be obvious it isn't listed anyway. It is of no architectural merit or historical interest.
