Will the right advice save me money?

Before starting a renovation or home project, it is critical to obtain the right professional advice.

I recently worked with a potential client who had purchased a property. It had stunning Art Deco features and generous garden. She was unhappy with the existing layout. She had considered numerous renovation options, all of which were expensive and, in the end, unnecessary. Her budget was limited, so finding the most effective solution was essential.

I asked many questions to understanding her priorities. I then realised that what she truly wanted was a stronger connection between the indoors and her rear garden. With this insight, I was able to suggest minor alterations that preserved the original integrity of the house. This proved that the more expensive renovations were not required.

With the substantial savings, I recommended investing in the garden itself. After all, it was one of the main reasons she had bought the property. The result was a harmonious home and garden with a strong connection that she could fully enjoy. By focusing on the right solution rather than the most extensive renovation, we achieved both beauty and functionality — and stayed within budget.

This is a perfect example of how engaging the right professional from the start can save money, preserve your home’s character, and ensure your investment is used wisely.
