Joining us this week is Gary Barlow, a Chartered Surveyor and Project Manager for a firm in Piccadilly. Gary discusses how they work on projects that are primarily based in Central London and at what point you need to bring in which experts, with the consensus being the earlier the better.

They discuss how having something like an acoustic engineer can make or break a project particularly in Prime Central London, where the tube and train lines are often very close by and how the scope of a project will determine the type of team Gary and his colleagues need to put together for a client. Listed buildings for example will require a listed building consultant, and any projects requiring at home cinemas would involve an AV consultant.  All collaborations are done with experienced professionals that have worked with them for over twenty years.

Whether your project is a smaller one or a full refurbishment, getting the right assistance as early as possible would be the recommended way to go.

As always we love to hear from you. What experiences have you had with project management in construction? Join the conversation online with us on our social media channels, or send in your thoughts to [email protected].

This week we had a fascinating conversation with Grant Pierrus about all things interior design. Grant started a very successful blog back in 2015 and is now running a boutique marketing agency, specialising in marketing for interior designers. 

We talk about how design is both a passion and a lifestyle for him and what good design actually is. He gives us tips on how to partner with the right interior designer, what to look for and what to be aware of in an industry that is not as regulated as others. 

Grant runs us through his tips for building a global brand and what he loves the most about his job, including his experience of going through vintage markets and auction houses with clients, many of whom have been with him for many years and are now firm friends.

Design was once considered a purely decorative function and he talks to us about how this has changed over the last few years to incorporate more wellness and functionality of a space, rather than just the soft furnishings.

As always we love to hear your comments and thoughts. Have you noticed the changing trends in design or experienced them yourself? Share with us either on our social media channels or via email at [email protected]

When looking for a day school, the most important thing is making the right choice as a parent and family. We discussed this topic with the two heads of Garden House School in Chelsea, Mr. Jameson, and Mrs. Studd.

Their first advice is to visit the school in person to get a sense of the spirit of the school and understand its ethos and values. No child will remember the school because of its facilities, but rather because of what the school had to offer, the other pupils there, and the staff.

Having a selection of schools and putting the child at the centre of this decision is equally important.
Beyond the curriculum, the critical points of an education path are those learning dispositions, those ways of thinking, those habits of mind, and interdisciplinary skills, such as critical thinking and collaboration. They become as crucial as the subjects themselves.

Garden House is a unique, family-run school for girls and boys between the ages of 3 and 11. From the age of 4, the girls and boys are taught separately for most academic lessons, but they have numerous opportunities to interact with each other during the school day.

As always we love to hear your feedback. How was your experience with day schools in London? Share your thoughts and comments with us on our social media platforms or email us at [email protected].

This week Farnaz shares her comments around the perception of agents in the industry and some of the misconceptions around legal obligations for tenants and owners. As we all know, moving house is one of the top most stressful events in most people's lives and this can cause frayed nerves and emotional reactions all round if not handled appropriately on both sides. 

With over thirty years of experience in property, Farnaz has seen her fair share of the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of property management and dealing with tenants. She talks about how the property industry in the UK is hampered by the low barrier to entry for new agents, with very little training needed in comparison to the US where agents are trained for two years before they are allowed to operate in the real estate industry, and how this impacts the general perception of agents as a group.

She recommends what to look for in a good property management agent or company and gives tips on the importance of communicating with tenants, especially when it comes to dealing with a problem at the property.

As always we love to hear your feedback. Have you experienced negative reactions as an agent, or had a less than positive experience as a tenant? Share your thoughts and comments with us on our social media platforms or email us at [email protected].

Join us this week as we talk to buying agent Karim Bazzi about what buying agents do and why there seem to be so many buying agents in Prime Central London.

We discuss the impact of the internet and how it compares to using a buying agent, what clients think buying agents do vs what they really contribute to the relationship and the three main markets that are best suited for buying agents.

We chat about off-market or pre-market properties and the advantages of working with a buying agent in comparison to managing the process yourself and Karim shares his top tips on what to look out for when choosing a buying agent.

Michael Handford-Arnold joins us again to explain what to consider when you are putting your house up for sale.  We discuss seasonality and how to make the outside area and/or street work for you (think cherry blossoms in Spring and cosy fires in Winter). 

Staging can start from the very basic things like cleanliness, uncluttered spaces and basic maintenance and work all the way up to getting in professionals. There are a number of excellent staging companies and decluttering services who can assist you with this. We have some personally handpicked ones listed in our experts directory to get you started. 

We discuss how to avoid making your space too sterile while keeping a balance between clutter, pets and children and how to show off potential furniture placement by adding in suitable options like a small desk with a printer on it for a home office space.

As always we love to hear your thoughts. Let us know your experience of staging a house for sale and if there are any tips you would like to share with us. Connect via email at [email protected] or follow us your way on our social media platforms.

Join us in discussing the spectrum of learning difficulties with Dr. Nanda Shaheen.

Suppose there was a veteran society for those with a deep understanding and instinct for early years learning and special learning needs, then Dr. Nanda Shaheen would be a founding member.

Dr. Nanda Shaheen started her career in Washington DC, where she taught children with dyslexia, ADHD, and dyspraxia. Over the last 30 years, Dr. Nanda has gained unrivaled experience teaching young children in Washington DC & London.

We talk about how learning difficulties tend to show themselves around the ages of six or seven. Dr. Nanda mentions that one should never expect a single solution to fit all and how, as a doctor, one needs to look at the bigger picture: the family environment, the school's teaching style, and the learning style of the individual child. The solution has to be tailored to the individual child and the unique environment of that child.

We also discuss some DO's when it comes to parents: being open-minded, taking to as many professionals, doing the research, and asking many questions until the solution seems to be working.

With a focus on Mental Health Awareness this month, we interviewed breathwork practitioner and coach Artur Paulins.

Join us as we discuss how using your breath properly can relieve anxiety and stress and increase your performance and focus. Breathwork is applicable to everyone, from children to the elderly and it is a tool that you have access to all the time.

There are different types of breathing for different situations, and a consistent daily practice can help you to cope better in stressful situations. Being able to reconnect with yourself helps with emotional reactivity and can alleviate symptoms like panic attacks.

With this in mind, Artur has shared with us his free Bite Sized Breathwork which is a five minute audio that you can download and use anytime, anywhere. You can download this here.
