Before You Buy
Stand Alone Service
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will make, and it is easy to miss things when you are excited or overwhelmed. This service gives you an independent, experienced second opinion before you commit.
I meet you at the property you are considering and spend an hour walking through it with you. I help you see the space clearly, evaluate whether it suits your lifestyle and identify any issues that may cost you later.
After the visit, you receive a short written report summarising strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and concerns.
The fee for this service is £250 for a one hour viewing and short report, and it includes:
- a walkthrough of the home
• assessment of strengths and weaknesses
• identification of potential improvements
• layout ideas
• guidance on costly pitfalls
• a short written summary
If you would like an expert second opinion before you commit, you are welcome to call me or you may book your viewing using the link below.

“Francesca helped us see what was possible and what was not. She saved us from making an expensive mistake and showed us the potential in the house we eventually bought. It was the best £250 we spent.”
I had done the basics - bed, chairs, sofas - but I let Francesca loose to work her magic with the bits and bobs I had collected. Within a few hours, a house had become a home. Every room had character, looked welcoming and 'worked'. I shall always be amazed and grateful for that transformation.

Francesca made a few simple changes at no additional cost using our existing furniture. This really improved our bedroom space and my sleep no end. I’m so much happier and cannot recommend The House Stylist enough.

When I was doing up my house, I would get stuck with certain ideas. Francesca would immediately turn the problem upside down and together we would see a new way of solving the issue... Fabulous fresh way of looking at a whole room... or even just a little corner that somehow didn't work... refreshingly honest... makes you feel at ease and confident.

Francesca critiqued my drawing room which had doors and fireplaces in difficult places. She saw a natural flow through the room that meant losing some pieces of furniture and replacing them with neat stylish items she found at flea and antique markets...now we can comfortably host large gatherings or small family evenings... The investment in lovely pieces was minimal but transforming and she gave new life to existing much-loved items...the feeling in the space is fresh yet familiar and comfortable.

You adapt to every situation and have insight into the aesthetic requirements of each space. We spent a happy weekend walking around my house rearranging and improving the layout, moving furniture, re-hanging pictures and generally improving the feel of The Old Farmhouse. You have a vision of how to make the most of a home.
JoJo H, Yorkshire
Francesca, while being really enthusiastic about my drawing-room, immediately saw small changes I could make that transformed the room. She has a wonderful natural eye and a sense of style that comes quite intuitively without any hint of pretension or formula. She is an absolute natural, nothing will look provincial or contrived, she has a completely original, magic wand.

Francesca is a genius at making a home sing! Using colour, pattern and texture in unusual ways she brings spaces to life and creates really interesting interiors. Crucially, she is also really fun to work with!
Rosheen Rodwell Interiors
We had great fun going all over the flat for 2 hours with Francesca coming up with a multitude of different ideas. She was very willing to discuss each one in detail with me and sent through drawings afterwards as well as a full and very detailed report.

The changes to the layout that we made on the day of your visit have made a big difference already. Now over time and armed with this reference point, things can only get better.
