How to prepare for this consultation

The more Tara knows about your project in advance of the meeting the more you will get out of it.

  • The estate agent’s brochure for the house it will often include enough to allow Tara to get a good understanding of the property
  • Project address and a brief description of it, e.g. 3-bed semi-detached house or 2 storeys over basement period house in need of repair, alterations, and extension, cottage in an urban or rural setting
  • Brief description of what you would like to do
  • Photographs showing the house from the outside on all sides and what is next door.

And ideally…where readily available:

  • Garden length, some idea of the size of the site
  • Where available floor plans
  • If work to the house has been considered in the past, there may be plans to hand, possibly on the local authority’s website.
