Marketing heritage assets
In December 2019, The Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) updated the ToolBox Guidance Note ‘Marketing of heritage assets’.
Bob Kindred, IHBC research consultant and author of the Guidance Note said:
"To address new queries raised by colleagues, I have reviewed the Note and made some revisions and minor adjustments.
"The main changes relate to cases where buildings may change use back to the original use – an issue not touched on in the earlier version. Also I have clarified the point that 12 months is generally considered reasonable where buildings are being marketed because they are vacant and/or deteriorating and where momentum in the market place is essential."
See the revised Guidance Note.
