Architect Pre-Purchase & Pre-Acquisition Consultation

Whether you’re considering buying a house or a piece of land, it’s completely natural to want clarity before you commit. Our Architect Pre-Purchase & Pre-Acquisition Consultation gives you early, expert guidance so you can make a confident, well-informed decision prior to purchasing a property. I have over a decade of experience in Architecture, as well as having my own rural property business.

Many clients come to us because they want to understand what’s genuinely possible: extending a home, creating a new dwelling, or unlocking the development potential of a plot. This focused consultation highlights the opportunities, risks, and planning realities right from the start.

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.

  • Any 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.

Before the call, we review the listing, plans, photographs, site details, and any questions you submit. We then discuss everything with you during a 45-minute Google Meet consultation. Before booking the call, please review our Online Appointment Terms of Business by clicking the link.
