10 Highly Recommend Bianca for HMO Planning & Project Management
Posted 17 July
Impressed by Bianca's glowing reviews, I engaged her for the planning of a sui generis 7-bed HMO project in Reading, involving an extension and L-shaped dormer. She proved incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and ensured a smooth process throughout. We extended our collaboration with Bianca acting as our project manager, where she effectively liaised with builders and building control. Most notably, her amazing staging maximized rental income – we're now securing £950/month for the dormer bedroom. The project's success means I can now get all the funds back through remortgaging.Verified reviewerJob location: RG3010 Turn Key HMO Project

We recently completed a 3 to 6 bed HMO conversion project in Reading that included taking the house back to brick and adding an extension and a dormer. From start to finish, the process was seamless. We secured the property at an excellent price, and Bianca expertly managed the construction project, offering a variety of layout and interior design options that truly made the property stand out. We are confident that we will recoup our investment through remortgaging and renting it out to professionals within the first year.Verified reviewerJob location: RG3010 Large garden extension Reading

I had initially attempted to engage an online architect for a 6m extension project in Reading. Unfortunately, the plans they provided fell short of plannining approval and lacked crucial details. Thankfully, Bianca came to our rescue. Not only did she secure the approval for us, but she also went the extra mile by suggesting a builder who offered a 20% lower quote. This cost-saving allowed us to invest in interior design elements and upgrade our kitchen, enhancing the overall outcome of the project. Highly recommended!Verified reviewerJob location: RG410 Largen garden extension and interior design gone right

Bianca expertly handled our drawings, planning permission, and garden extension design. Her attentive nature and creative approach transformed our extension into a vibrant social hub. Regular site visits ensured top-notch quality. We've already enlisted her for the interior design of our entire home.Verified reviewerJob location: RG410 2 Storey Home Extension in Reading

Before meeting Bianca we spoke with a number of architects about doing a two story home extension but they were either too expensive or didn't provide the service needed. Bianca provided the full design and build service which made the experience smooth. We felt we were always in control and informed. We have small kids so we appreciated that builders were mindful and tidy. We have now asked her to do the interior design and refurbishment of the rest of our house and can't wait for the end result.Verified reviewerJob location: RG410 6 Bed HMO Design and Build Services

Job location: RG30Bianca is a professional and trustworthy architect who made the whole HMO refurbishment including garden extension and loft conversion a great experience. She provided detailed drawings with multiple revisions, practical advice tailored to our needs, and had a team of trusted builders. Through her contacts Bianca made planning permission, building control and party wall survey a straightforward process. HMO officer praised the high standard being implemented. The best part is that she was managed the entire process and actually came under budget. Tenants love it and are paying premium rent.
