Contacted Nìall to ask which consultation service i should go for. I was interested in a house to buy that needed a lot of work done to it. He asked me for quite a lot more information to help him decide… with the information i gave him he was able to tell us the work that needed done would almost certainly exceed our budget. Based partly on this insight alone we pulled out of the purchase…. and are so glad we did! We feel like we dodged a bullet! He was really quick to respond and clear in his messages too. We are really grateful to him.

Niall helped my family come to a well reasoned decision. His timely insights helped us consider all options available to us - without being overwhelmed. Forever grateful and wishing him the best for his future.

Great to speak to Niall about what would be feasible with a property!

Very helpful consultation in relation to the potential purchase of a property. Niall highlighted things to consider and talked us through the potential for renovation with ballpark financial estimates which was invaluable. I would highly recommend his architecture guide - it is illuminating and will no doubt serve us well in the future when undertaking works.

Niall was absolutely awesome! Made us look at the extension completely differently. To be honest I can’t believe the price and the value. I think he could double the price and it would still be value<br>Thanks again Niall Dean and Claire (England, Beverley)

Niall gave me pre-purchase advice before making an offer on a property and it was excellent. Clear, detailed, and tailored to the specific house, not generic fluff. Saved me time, money, and a few bad decisions. Highly recommend.

I found Niall from his YouTube channel and decided to book a consultation to get some advice on the feasibility of a dormer extension to our property. He was very professional and very knowledgable about all of the challenges I faced. He had clearly done some homework before our call and the advice he gave likely saved me many thousands of pounds! I can't recommend his services enough and won't hesitate to book another consultation in future.

I booked a one-off Zoom consultation with Niall and found the experience excellent from start to finish. Niall was extremely knowledgeable, clear in his recommendations, and well prepared for our call. He had taken the time to familiarise himself with the area and the property we’re interested in, ensuring we made the best use of our time.<br>Niall was professional and friendly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. The consultation gave me exactly what I was hoping for, and I would highly recommend him.

We had an online consultation with Niall to talk about options for our renovation. My wife and I found the session extremely useful and informative. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting starting off on their own home renovation.
