Mayfair’s Georgian and Victorian townhouses have spent much of the last century as offices. Many are now returning to residential use, or being refurbished as high-end apartments and boutique offices. Almost everything here is listed or in the Mayfair Conservation Area, and much of it is held on leases from the great estates.
Building in Mayfair
- Listed building consent is needed for internal changes such as plan form, staircases, joinery, ceilings and service routes, as well as external work.
- Estate licences: leaseholders need the freeholder’s approval of drawings and specifications, and the estate may monitor the works.
- Change of use between office and residential needs planning permission and brings full Building Regulations requirements for fire, sound and energy.
- Westminster’s construction rules limit noisy work to set hours and expect agreed logistics in narrow streets.
