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.
