Common Building Issues in Hammersmith and Fulham

The local condition issues described elsewhere on this page are a recurring feature of the disputes we see instructed on Hammersmith and Fulham property: whichever party is right about cause and extent, the answer depends on evidence gathered and recorded to a standard that will survive cross-examination, not just a site visit.

Planning and Conservation in Hammersmith and Fulham

Hammersmith Town Centre Conservation Area; Hammersmith and Fulham Council has multiple conservation areas; riverside setting adjacent to the Thames requires specialist flood risk assessment. Where a Hammersmith and Fulham dispute concerns alterations to Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, riverside apartments and mansion flats, whether the correct consents were obtained is often as significant to the outcome as the defect itself, and both need to be evidenced to the same standard.
