This week we welcomed one of our clients, Charles, who took on an ambitious barn conversion project with the support of Mayflower Mortgage!

Together we chat about the challenges and considerations involved in a barn conversion project, from finding the ideal property to navigating planning, financing, and unforeseen construction challenges.

Charles also emphasises the importance of professional consultation and the complexities of drainage and waterproofing in such projects.

The conversation covers the topics of project budgeting, cost management, adapting to changes, construction budget, building for lifestyle, reflections on the building process, financial protection, payment terms, and supplier selection and considerations. Highlighting the importance of budget flexibility and effective cost management throughout the construction process.
