What homeowners say
Homeowners across Hampstead and surrounding areas use our free matching service to find the right architect for their project. Here is what they say about the experience.
“We had been putting off our kitchen extension for months because we did not know where to start with finding an architect. Within a week of submitting our brief, Architect Hampstead introduced us to two architects who both had experience with Victorian terraces in NW3. The one we chose understood the conservation context immediately and our planning application went through first time.”
“The matching process saved us so much time. Instead of contacting six or seven practices cold, we got two carefully selected introductions that both felt relevant. The architect we appointed had done several loft conversions on our exact street and knew the planning constraints before we even explained them.”
“Our property sits in the Highgate conservation area and we needed an architect who really understood heritage-sensitive design. Architect Hampstead matched us with someone who had completed three similar projects nearby. The whole process from brief to introductions took just two days.”
“Basement projects in Westminster are complex and we wanted an architect who had navigated the process before. The matching service found us exactly the right specialist — someone with structural engineering understanding, party wall experience, and a track record with Westminster planning. Highly recommend.”
“We appreciated that the service is genuinely free and there was no pressure. We submitted our brief on a Sunday evening, had architect introductions by Tuesday, and met our preferred architect that same week. The side return extension transformed our ground floor.”
“HGS has incredibly strict Article 4 controls and we were nervous about finding an architect who could work within those constraints while still improving our home. The matched architect had specific HGS experience and knew exactly what the conservation panel would expect. That specialist knowledge was invaluable.”
“We wanted to open up our ground floor but were unsure whether we needed an architect or just a builder. Architect Hampstead helped us understand why architectural input mattered for our property and matched us with someone who turned a standard knock-through into something genuinely special.”
“Finding an architect for a flat renovation felt awkward — most practices seemed focused on larger house projects. The matching service introduced us to an architect who specialises in apartment redesigns and understands the leasehold and party wall complexities. Perfect match.”
Why homeowners choose matching over cold-calling
The traditional route to finding an architect involves researching practices online, cold-calling multiple firms, explaining your project repeatedly, and trying to assess suitability from a portfolio and a phone call. Our matching service replaces that process with a single brief submission. We do the research, shortlisting, and suitability assessment — then introduce you to architects who genuinely fit your project.
The feedback we hear most often is about time saved and match quality. Homeowners appreciate receiving introductions to architects who already understand their area, property type, and planning context — rather than having to educate each practice from scratch.
