Expert Advice
Partnership with Estate Agents
Specialist heritage support for London’s property professionals.
Our role is simple: We help you sell listed properties with clarity – and help your clients buy with confidence.
Why Estate Agents Work With Us
Clear answers to complex heritage questions
Buyers often fall in love with a home but worry about what can or cannot be altered. We provide fast, structured advice that helps unblock decision-making and accelerates the sales process.
Reduced risk around unauthorised works
Listed homes often contain historic alterations that may or may not be lawful. We assess risk quickly and provide a pathway to regularisation where needed – protecting all parties from unexpected complications.
Support during viewings and offer stages
Clients regularly need reassurance about kitchens, basements, extensions, windows and internal reconfigurations. We offer targeted guidance that helps them understand the real scope, cost and feasibility of their ideas.
Clarity that builds buyer confidence
We translate heritage policy into simple language so buyers can make informed decisions – particularly valuable for clients new to listed homes.
A design-led, not bureaucratic, consultancy
Unlike traditional heritage consultants, we evaluate proposals through a design and architectural lens. Your clients benefit from advice that is both heritage-accurate and practically useful for their intended refurbishment.

And we take it from there. We offer rapid turnaround, as we understand the pace of sales cycles. For agents, we prioritise fast, clear, accurate responses and transparent communication, keeping you informed at every step.
