Highlights
"Amna guided us through the planning process for our second floor extension successfully and efficiently. There were minimal iterations on the drawings themselves, and she identified all the pitfalls and planning requirements we needed to navigate to get our plans successfully approved. The quote was competitive and there weren't any hidden additions. Would happily engage her services again."
"Amna and her team helped us obtain a planning permission for deconversion of our two flats into a single house dwelling after the council had responded on early enquiry that a full application may not likely be approved. Amna and her team did a great job, they gave us reassurance and did a their best with the application to a successful outcome. Highly recommend."

i didn't enjoy my experience with them at all. As an architect you should be able ensure that your client maximises their space whilst bringing to reality your ideas. This wasn't the case with them . communication was slow and it came with an attitude. i would not recommend them at all.

Smart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
