Get clear advise before you buy the property

Considering a home renovation or a new property purchase in London? The smartest first step is gaining clarity. StudioHA’s Clarity Package is our dedicated pre-purchase and feasibility service that gives you clear, strategic insight before you commit to a full design process. As our own guide explains, it’s “the critical first step in the design process – exploring what’s possible, what’s worth doing, and what it might cost”. In short, the Clarity Package acts as a feasibility study for your home renovation, helping busy, design-conscious clients avoid costly mistakes and move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re buying a period home or planning a large extension, our Clarity Package blends pre-purchase architectural advice with a structured feasibility analysis. We examine your site’s constraints (planning, heritage, structure, etc.) and your design wish-list, and translate them into viable options. As one client puts it, before investing in a Hampstead townhouse “it’s critical to know what’s really possible – structurally, legally, and spatially”studioha.co.uk. StudioHA helps you assess a property’s true potential before you buy. Similarly, our feasibility study service outlines your renovation roadmap. In fact, “for our clients, a feasibility study saves months of delay, scope creep, and costly mistakes”, defining what’s viable—and what’s worth your investmentstudioha.co.uk.

Why Pre-Purchase Advice & Feasibility Matter

The value of clarity before renovating cannot be overstated. Our Clarity Package ensures you:

• Avoid expensive surprises. We give you “a realistic sense of what’s possible under planning, structural, heritage or other constraints”. By identifying site or regulatory red flags up front, you never overcommit or uncover hidden costs later.

• Focus on what matters. We translate your wish-list into strategic options aligned with how you live. This filters out unnecessary features so you concentrate on changes with the biggest impact.

• Prioritise wisely. We show you exactly where to focus for maximum impact – whether that’s reconfiguring space, improving light, or adding key amenities.

• Get a customised plan. Every home and homeowner is unique. Our guidance is “100% tailored to you”, reflecting your lifestyle, budget and the specific challenges of your property.

In practice, this means we might start with a one-hour strategy session and site visit, followed by a detailed site and planning analysis. We then present 2–3 design layout options and cost estimates so you can compare scenarios without committing to construction studioha.co.uk. Our feasibility services typically include architectural sketches, light and layout studies, and advice on permissions and build costs studioha.co.uk. By the end of the Clarity Package you’ll know what is possible, what is worth pursuing, and how best to proceed – all with far more confidence than guessing on your own.

Who Benefits from the Clarity Package?

This package is ideal for discerning homeowners and buyers who want clear architectural guidance up front. In particular, it suits owners of listed or conservation-area homes, unmodernised properties, or anyone relocating to Londonstudioha.co.uk. Essentially, if you care about design and value but have limited time, the Clarity Package is for you. Our clients are often busy professionals balancing modern living needs with long-term investment value. They choose StudioHA because they want smart, context-sensitive design – and someone to cut through the noise so they can move forward confidently.

For example, many clients come to us in Hampstead, Highgate, Primrose Hill and other high-value London neighbourhoods (see Services or Areas We Work for details). Whether you’re about to bid on a period mews house in Chelsea or a rural barn on the outskirts of London, we help you “step back, see the bigger picture and move forward with confidence”. One client even said our Pre-Purchase advice “stopped us from making a £1.65M property mistake” studioha.co.uk by flagging serious issues in the purchasing stage. That’s the kind of clarity that saves money and headaches.

StudioHA’s Signature Approach

studioHA brings a unique blend of high-end design and strategic rigor to every project. We specialize in contextually sensitive architecture – turning complex heritage sites and tight urban homes into calm, high-performance living spaces. “We design for people, not trends,” as our guide says – our work is precise, deeply personal and built to last. We view constraints (listed fabric, planning limits, odd floor plans) as design opportunities, bringing “rigour, clarity and calm to every stage”.

Crucially, every Clarity Package is led by our founder, Rachel Hurley, from first sketch to final report. Rachel is a Cambridge-trained architect with 16+ years of experience in London’s renovation scene. She has led major refurbishments and even developed her own homes, so she understands both the design details and the financial stakes. Her work is known for a rare blend of rigour and intuition – combining creative vision with technical expertise. This means your Clarity Package isn’t an off-the-shelf service, but a fully tailored study by someone who “completely understood my vision…and made the whole process seamless” (as one client of the Rosslyn project said).

We keep our team deliberately small and hands-on. Our process is calm and highly tailored, so you stay informed but never fatigued. We translate your needs into intelligent design strategies, and we hold nothing back. As one high-end London client put it, StudioHA delivers an experience that’s “an absolute perfect experience... great communication and impeccable work”. In short, we earn our name by bringing clarity to complex projects.

Clarity Package in Action: Case Studies

The proof is in the results. Here are two examples of past Clarity Package outcomes:

• Rosslyn, Hampstead (London renovation): We assessed a period home on the edge of a conservation area for an international executive. Our focus was interior flow and daylight – without touching the historic exterior. The outcome? A set of precise internal interventions that unlocked the home’s full potential with minimal structural risk. In other words, we found smart ways to reconfigure and lighten the space, so the house lives far better without any major rebuilding.

• High Barn (Countryside conversion): A client eyed an old agricultural barn in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and needed absolute clarity before purchase. Our feasibility study analyzed planning risk, spatial capacity and environmental constraints. With a clear strategy in hand, the client moved forward confidently, knowing the barn could be sensitively reimagined for family life. This saved them from investing in a property that might have proved impossible to convert.

These case studies show how the Clarity Package provides a precise roadmap. By analyzing the site and exploring design options early, our clients avoided costly surprises and maximized their investment. The package gave them actionable insight – a design vision and plan they could trust.
