Architects in London: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

As a homeowner, you're usually responsible for hiring architectural services, submitting planning permission applications, and managing project costs. Your architect can often handle the paperwork and act as your planning liaison. For larger jobs, they may also manage contractors, timelines and on-site visits. Be clear about what's included.

Renters

If you're renting, architectural work typically isn’t your responsibility unless agreed otherwise with your landlord. Speak to them before contacting any architects or starting work. Landlords may prefer to choose their own architect or architectural technician.

Emergency architectural services in London

Architectural work is rarely urgent in the same way plumbing or electrics might be. But if your property is damaged (e.g. by fire or flood) and needs urgent redesign or assessment, look for emergency architectural services in London.
