One fixed price, agreed before we start
Most architects in London don't give you their final bill until the job is done, which nearly always means a costly surprise. We give you one straightforward, 100% fixed price from the outset, and guarantee it'll be more affordable than a traditional architect.

Paying for your project
79% of homeowners pay for their renovation by remortgaging
We get asked all the time if we know a specialist for a home renovation remortgage. The answer is yes: 1 in 5 of our clients use our specialist partners to release equity and pay for their project.
Lenders want to know you've hired professional architects to draw up professional plans, so knowing you're working with us helps them find you the best deal.
"We were getting our loft converted anyway, but decided to take out finance just to top up the budget and get the family bathroom redone at the same time. It took 15 minutes to apply and the money was in our account in 48 hours."
