Here’s one we did earlier…!! A beautiful house in Edgbaston that had been the victim of some rather tragic additions in the 1980s. The whole house needed updating generally, the front elevation needed re-integrating with the property, alongside adding extensive additional living accommodation to create a beautiful, modern and generous family home. Great 5* review […]

The talk is of shortages, price increases for materials and labour, alongside uncertainty generally. But the upshot of the article […]
