Who might need my services
You may benefit from my services if you are buying—or thinking about buying—a property that is listed, lies within a conservation area, sits close to a heritage asset, or has historic features you want to protect and understand.
I can also help if you are unsure what uses or alterations are likely to be acceptable to the planning authority, or if you have been asked to submit a Heritage Statement or Heritage Appraisal as part of a planning or listed building application. If your proposals are at risk of refusal, subject to restrictive conditions, or have already been refused, I can advise you on your options and help you move forward.
My advice is equally valuable where a historic building is in poor condition and you need guidance on appropriate materials and repair methods, or if you would like support researching the history and significance of your property to inform future decisions.
