The Georgian Challenge: Why Bath’s Period Properties Need a Specialist Eye
Managing a Grade I listed townhouse requires more than a camera; it requires a historian’s attention to detail
Bath is unlike any other city in the UK. Managing a portfolio here feels like being a temporary custodian of history. From the honey-coloured stone of the Royal Crescent to the ornate cornicing in Combe Down townhouses, the properties here are works of art.
But let’s talk about the nightmare side of it: The “Check-Out” of a period home.
When you have original flagstone floors, sash windows from the 1800s, and delicate fireplaces, a “standard” inventory just won’t cut it. If your clerk doesn’t know how to properly document the condition of a Grade II listed door handle or the specific wear on a historic banister, your landlord is exposed to thousands of pounds in potential loss.
At LISTD Pro, we treat Bath with the respect it deserves.
Our clerks aren’t just “gig workers” with a smartphone. Through our LISTD Academy, we train our professionals to have a specialist eye for heritage features. We know that in a city like Bath, the value is in the details.
Big names in the South West, like Andrews Property Group, trust us because they know we don’t do “generic.” We provide consistency. Whether you are managing a modern flat near the Holburne Museum or a sprawling estate on the edge of the Cotswolds, the report needs to be a legal shield.
We’ve seen deposit disputes where landlords lost out on £2,000 in floor repairs simply because the move-in report said “floors: good” instead of providing high-resolution, timestamped evidence of the specific flagstone condition.
We are here to make sure that never happens again. We are bringing a 21st-century digital audit trail to the most historic streets in England.
It’s time to protect your heritage investments with precision.
