​​Architect-Led Viewings with Custom Buyer Checklists
What It Is
We join you — in person or virtually — to walk through a property with your goals in mind. Before the viewing, we have a initial conversation so we can create a tailored checklist based on your brief, so you know some helpful tips of what to look for. During the visit, we can help you assess layout, light, privacy, and potential for future works — all through the lens of your lifestyle and long-term plans.
What You Get
- A brief-based checklist: personalised to your priorities (e.g. natural light, future-proofing, family lifestyle, flow, sustainability)
- A guided viewing: with architectural verbal insight which may include layout, extension potential, planning context, and retrofit feasibility.
- A follow-up summary: a letter highlighting what was discussed, with next steps if you want to explore further, e.g. commissioning a Design Potential Report
Why It Helps
- You stay focused on what matters to you
- You get initial expert insight during the decision-making window
- Help towards avoiding surprises and unlocking hidden design value
- You leave the viewing with a clearer mind — not just impressions
