Architect Pre-Purchase Consultation

Buying a house or a piece of land often involves uncertainty. This Architect Pre-Purchase Consultation gives you clear, professional advice before you commit so that you can make a confident, informed decision.

With over a decade of architectural experience, alongside first-hand experience running a rural property business, I help clients understand what is genuinely achievable.

Clients typically come to this consultation to assess whether a property or plot can realistically support an extension, a new dwelling, or a viable development. The session focuses on identifying opportunities, constraints, and risks early, before costly mistakes are made.

You’ll come away with a grounded sense of:

• What you can realistically build or extend.

• Whether your plans align with Planning Policy & Permitted Development rights.

• Planning risks, constraints, or red flags to be aware of.

• The viability of a new home or outbuilding on a plot of land.

• A broad indication of construction costs.

• Alternative strategies that may serve you better.

Ahead of the call, I review the property listing, drawings, photographs, site context, and your submitted questions. We then discuss everything during a focused 45-minute Google Meet consultation. Before booking the call, please review our Online Appointment Terms of Business.
