Considering buying a home?

Have you set your sights on a property but are unsure whether it fully meets your wishes? Perhaps you are already considering renovating, but would like insight into the possibilities and an indication of the costs involved. You may not be fully up to date with all the regulations and wonder whether your renovation plans would qualify for a building permit?

As an architect I deal with these matters every day and can provide you with independent advice. Several projects on this website actually began with the question of whether I could visit a property with the prospective buyers.

In those cases we view the property together and discuss the wish list. Any possibilities and limitations for a renovation are investigated, the local zoning plan is reviewed and other relevant points of attention and questions are discussed. In this way you quickly gain a clear picture of whether the property truly meets your requirements.

Looking to boost the sale of your home?

Not every home sells itself. Sometimes a renovation is needed to bring the layout and appearance of the property in line with modern expectations. Unfortunately, not every prospective buyer is able to make this translation themselves — they sometimes need more visual support.

To make the potential of a home easy to understand for everyone, a rough renovation design can be produced. For example by removing a few walls to create much larger living spaces, or by enlarging facade openings to greatly improve the visual connection with the garden. Floor plans and impressions of the most interesting possibilities can be drawn up.

This allows prospective buyers to very easily explore the possibilities your home has to offer.
