S–07Property Investment Consultancy
Property investment consultancy and design for investors
What this service is
For property investors we offer a complete service from the first steps to completion: finding the right building in a desirable area, planning permission, change of use, building control, liaison with authorities and contractors, and the architectural and interior design that increases the property’s value and supports refinancing.
The question is always the same: how do you add value? The main answer is to add more rooms. We look for buildings where that is possible, secure the permissions and design the conversion.
One example is a former electrical shop transformed into a residential property, where we handled the building search, planning, change of use, building control and the full design.

FAQ
Property Investment Consultancy: your questions
Can a shop be converted into a home?
Often, yes. Depending on the building and location, a shop can become a home through a planning application or prior approval under permitted development. We turned a former electrical shop into a residential property, handling the building search, planning, change of use and building control.
How do you add value to an investment property?
The main lever is adding rooms. For one client we redesigned a two-bedroom flat as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment by adding a bedroom and dividing a bathroom into two, increasing the value and allowing refinancing.
Do you help find properties to buy?
Yes. We help investors identify buildings in desirable areas with real potential to add rooms or change use, then assess layouts and planning prospects before you commit to a purchase.
