What Clients Say

Mark was fantastic throughout the process and we would highly recommend him! He is very knowledgeable and his communication levels are fantastic, kept us updated all the way through a successful planning application!

Dee popat

I would highly recommend Mark.

I was out of my depth with what should have been a very simply planning application, My attempt at this was declined. So, my search begun to seek professional help, with one phone call I was put at ease. Mark took control and explained things in simple terms. He visited and submitted drawings along with whatever else was needed in a very timely and efficient manner.

I am very happy to now be able to continue with our alterations to our outside space with an accepted planning application now confirmed. Thank you Mark

Maria Peploe

Mark helped us from start to finish , he was only a phone call away if we needed advise and kept us up to date with the progress of our case every step of the way, would not hesitate to use him again should we need to.

We would absolutely recommend him.

Samantha Rathbone

We contacted Mark from a friend’s recommendation. What a pleasure to deal with. From start to finish. Mark was polite and helped us with every aspect of planning and design and always had time to listen to us . We never felt in the dark and costs were always exactly as quoted . Would highly recommend

Ashley Jones

Mark was extremely friendly whilst being professional. On our initial call he told me that I could make the application myself, therefore he very much puts the client’s needs before profit. However, we chose to use him and are very glad we did. He was very responsive. The planning office requested that a second inspection be carried out (at a further cost) and Mark was able to get this cancelled. Definitely worth the reasonable price we paid for his excellent services.

Mark

Mark is Friendly and reliable and provided plans for a garage conversation and supported the planning permission and building regulations process for a reasonable price and was always happy to help and advise, would recommend to family and friends.

Sarah wightman

I approached Mark recently to discuss options on building a new property where my garage currently sits.

Mark was extremely helpful and was swift in coming out to my property. He was always a phone call or email away and captured my ideas perfectly.

His extensive knowledge of how the property could keep in the style of the current houses on the road, along with his excellent designs have allowed me to secure full planning permission the first time.

Mark has been supportive and very approachable after this, especially when it came to me selling the land with planning permission.

I thoroughly recommend Mark and Architectural Vistadesigns Ltd to anyone in need of an excellent architect.

Richard Hill

Mark came out swiftly and assessed the planning proposal.Plans were drawn up and I was consulted before being submitted. Everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Mark is only a phone call away should you have any concerns. Highly recommended and Many Thanks.

Bob Cotterill

Mark was extremely helpful with helping us design our garage conversion and his professional expertise was invaluable. He kept in contact throughout the process and gave us good sound advice. He is a pleasure to do business with and would use his services again if we ever need to . Mark was very pleasant and polite. We now look forward to his plans becoming a reality

Janine Mander

Mark helped us get planning consent for a change of use from offices to residential. He produced detailed plans, and all the necessary supporting documents, then managed what turned to be quite a complex process. It was great to have a real professional on our team.
