Grade 2 listed is tricky if you intend to modernise. Depending on condition, the planners aim will be to keep original features, or get you to restore it to its former "glory".
Obviously, very often, occupiers will modernise it without permission, so you can very inherit non-signed off things and that can become complicated. My partner's (architect) firm moved into a central london listed property and they can pretty much do nothing to it.
Has anyone ever bought a listed property? A nice place has come up, but is grade 2 listed and before I get too far into looking into it thought I'd check to see if it's something best to avoid.
