Emergency protection, and or getting a building listed.

What options are there for protecting buildings from demolition?

There are a lot of nice big old houses around us, on the ridge of the Wirral overlooking the port of Liverpool, later Victorian and Edwardian mainly.

Some like ours are small enough to be split into two semis, some larger ones contain multiple apartments/dwellings which fetch strong money, but also some are quite run down and or old peoples homes of which several have closed.

There are number that are grade ii listed, but obviously plenty are not. We appear to be going through a push to redevelop sites into new homes.

...sometimes they can be sensitively adapted and divided into smaller units. But the way the VAT regime is structured tends to favour new build rather than renovation/restoration of existing buildings...

But also if we set up the tax schemes to favour demolition?
