"Excellent team and very helpful. Design spec answered all our questions very promptly even when we asked for things to be changed/amended it was completed really quickly. The fixed price included unlimited alterations to get the final result and exactly what we wanted. They guided us through all the different stages and explained the process very clearly. We can’t recommend Design Spec enough. Thank you to Dan and the team at Design Spec."

"Design Spec Ltd are fantastic. They have helped us through the design and planning of our bungalow renovation and extension and we could not be more grateful. They are quick at responding, patient and very professional. We would recommend this company to everyone going through this process!"

"We are completely inexperienced and had no idea where to start with getting our double storey extension plans off the ground. So grateful we found Design Spec. Wonderful team to work with; friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Quick to acknowledge every query and provided pragmatic and honest advice. We had a huge delay getting our planning permission result from the council and am so grateful to Dan for incessantly chasing a response - completely took the stress and pressure from us (which was a huge relief as we have a newborn baby and couldn't have coped ourselves) and the plans passed first time. Excellent service and we are now moving forward with them for our building control approval. Looking forward to working with them again on the next stage of our project."

St Albans – The classic cathedral city

St Albans is a beautiful cathedral city located just over 20 miles from London. The city has a long history, and as a result is home to many old buildings and monuments that contribute to its much-loved character.

As a result, many want to move into St Albans. The price of the average home in St Albans was £651,233 in 2022.

House prices have not noticeably moved in the past year, but are up by a significant 15% on the 2020 peak of £566,981. Most of the properties sold in 2022 were terraced properties, which sold for an average of £575,968. The average flat and semi-detached properties fetched prices of £312,283 and £723,778, respectively. It’s surprising to see that prices haven’t risen in the past year, however, the general lack of housing stock in the UK, combined with the attractiveness of the city means that it will always see high demand for property.

Renovating your St. Albans property has been a well-established approach to boosting its value. This encompasses creating additional space, improving existing areas, and constructing new rooms in locations like the loft or garage. Some sought-after home renovations even have the potential to increase your property's current value by up to 6%.

  • A kitchen renovation could add up to 6%
  • Renovating your bathroom can add £10,000.
  • Adding a driveway can add £10,000.
  • Renovating your garage into a room can add 20%.
  • Increasing your energy efficiency can add anywhere between 14% and 38% in some parts of the UK.

Our architectural designers based in St Albans possess extensive experience collaborating with local homeowners, making them well-prepared to undertake a wide range of property alterations. Our fixed-fee architectural service is readily at your disposal to facilitate the property changes you envision.
