Projects

The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn is committed to ensuring the fabric of its building stock is maintained to a high standard through a cyclical maintenance programme.

In addition to external fabric maintenance we also carry out repair and/or replacement works to mechanical and electrical installations. Both of these work items are guided by our planned preventative maintenance schedule.

The Estates department is also responsible for managing refurbishment works to vacant properties, be they residential, chambers or other commercial premises, precinct works, or investment/development projects.

A recent project at 17/20 Old Buildings

Our Estates Team recently completed a light internal refresh to the commercial office space at 17/20 Old Buildings, carefully preserving the historic character of this unique property.

Located on the east side of New Square, this set of connected buildings holds architectural and historical significance. The space now occupied by chambers was once part of the Old Hall’s kitchen in the 18th Century, with remnants of the original cellar stairs remaining beneath the building. The rooms retain many original features, including a 17th Century lantern at the head of the staircase, shallow cupboards believed to have been designed for barristers’ gowns, and timber panelling from the 16th Century discovered within later walls.

This refresh was carried out with sensitivity to the building’s Grade II Listed status, ensuring that its rich heritage continues to be celebrated while providing high-quality office space for future tenants. The premises have already been let.
