The Leeds city centre brief
A rental refurbishment in Woodhouse needs a usable programme as well as a finish schedule. If tenants are moving out and back in around an academic year, separate work that can be surveyed beforehand from work that needs an empty property. Do not base the programme on an assumed change of use.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
LS2 / 01
Establish the existing and intended occupation
Bring to the conversationExisting use records, proposed room layout and tenancy dates.
Why this matters
Record the current lawful use, household arrangement and proposed occupancy. Leeds provides separate information on HMO planning and licensing; check the address and proposal before purchasing fixtures for a new layout.
LS2 / 02
Protect the handover window
Bring to the conversationA dated access window and a room-by-room scope.
Why this matters
Identify specialist surveys, materials and approvals that can be arranged before possession. Leave testing, cleaning and defect correction in the programme instead of treating the final day of building work as the move-in date.
The address matters
