“Before You Buy — Know What You’re Really Buying”
Avoid costly mistakes. Understand feasibility, constraints, and potential before contracts are exchanged.

Property Advisory & Feasibility Guidance for Home Buyers

Buying a home in Newbury or West Berkshire often means committing hundreds of thousands of pounds — yet many buyers are forced to make that decision without fully understanding what is realistically possible with the property.

Estate agent descriptions and architectural ideas don’t always reflect what can be built in practice. Designs may look appealing on paper, but can be difficult, risky, or unnecessarily expensive to deliver once construction realities are considered.

Our Home Buyer Advisory Service exists to bridge that gap.

We provide independent, buyer-side guidance to help first-time buyers, homeowners, and small investors assess a property before they commit to purchase. Drawing on real-world experience in property development, planning feasibility, and construction delivery, we offer clear, practical advice grounded in what actually works.

Our role is to help you understand what can realistically be developed, what may be limited or high-risk, and how future plans can be shaped to remain buildable, compliant, and cost-effective. Where appropriate, we provide simple concept sketches to help visualise feasible layouts and options — always with a focus on practicality rather than theory.

Unlike estate agents, we are not selling property. Unlike architects, we are not focused on design alone. We sit between design and construction, offering honest guidance that helps buyers avoid costly mistakes, unrealistic expectations, and unpleasant surprises after purchase.

This service gives buyers clarity and confidence at the point it matters most — before contracts are exchanged — and provides estate agents and solicitors with a trusted, independent resource they can recommend with confidence.

Our Services & Pricing

Our services are designed to support home buyers at different stages of their decision-making — from early uncertainty through to confident long-term planning.

All advice is independent, buyer-side, and grounded in real-world development and construction experience.

🔁 Fee Credit

If you later proceed with Arkev Developments for design development or construction works, the advisory fee paid is credited back against those services.

⚠️ Important Note

These services provide independent advisory guidance only.
They are not planning applications, architectural services, structural designs, or surveys.

Our role is to help buyers make better decisions earlier, reduce uncertainty, and avoid costly mistakes.
