Refurbishment supplement

Refurbishment supplement - 1987 - Chartered Surveyor Weekly 21(5) 29 October 1987, (24) .

This special supplement on various aspects of refurbishment looks first at the right of tenants, both public and private, with regard to repairs and criticises surveyors for their reluctance to act on behalf of tenants in disputes. Describes how facade retention can enable modern office technology to be incorporated into historic buildings without spoiling their appearance and reports on how a former sugar refinery site in Liverpool was successfully reclaimed for new development. Two surveyors, each responsible for the maintenance of Liverpool`s two cathedrals talk about their work and in the final article, the author puts forward the case for tax concessions to encourage private investment in the inner cities .
