EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lesley and her team - great communicators - always flagging up issues and potential issues. Although we didnât go for a fully managed approach as it was quite a small build, Lesley was always helpful with any questions we had along the way. Very clear style; good design options. Highly recommend Lesley and the team at LA HallyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with LA Hally to design our extension was a fantastic experience. They listened to our needs and ideas and designed solutions that nailed the brief with practicality and creative flare. They were flexible, supportive, detail-focused and excellent at communicating with us throughout. Not a fault to be found and would use them again without hesitation. Thanks, Team!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lesley and her team were fundamental in getting a difficult planning application and amendments in a sensitive area across the line under the hardest of circumstances, which included during Covid lockdowns and isolation and at the sharp end of the implementation of novel Nitrate Neutrality regulations; and some rather curious trial examination procedures by the Local Authority. The project was overseen by Lesley and led by Amelia, who was expert in discussions with the Local Authority and Natural England over these new environmental rules and emergency regulations. LA Hally were the the first in the region to get a small development through Nitrate Neutrality with the Local Authority using this project as a test case. Landscape, design, roadside vernacular, and a Highways Authority built access which then needed a Certificate of Lawful Development were all handled by Lesley and her team brilliantly and with minimal stress. I couldn't be more grateful for their professionalism, diligence, hard work and expertise. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lesley and the team at LA Halley offer an ideal combination of creativity, attention to detail, professionalism and a warm, down-to-earth approachability. Thanks to a collaborative and flexible approach to problem solving, they helped bring to life our ideas for an extension - all while offering new ideas and practical solutions that kept our lifestyle and family needs at the forefront. The process has resulted in designs for a truly liveable space, delivered with the aesthetic flair and creativity that you'd want from an architect. Along with the positive customer experience, Lesley and the team have driven forward the planning and building control stages with utmost professionalism to keep things smoothly progressing forward.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started working with Lesley Hally and her team in November 2023. Over the next 14 months we jointly designed, planned, and successfully obtained planning approval for a 370 sq metre house. At every stage Lesley and Amelia guided us through the process in a most professional way. They were on top of the many requirements necessary for obtaining the planning approval, approving contractors for the project, putting together the bid documents and most importantly reviewing and sorting the bid results. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble . We were both impressed by their use of advanced (to us) computer techniques and imaging. The video of the planned new house was particularly impressive. We would not hesitate to recommend LA Hally Architects to anyone seeking to build a house, a small office development perhaps, or wanting to undertake a large extension or renovation. Great people to deal with.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible team. Creative, supportive, innovative and professional. They will take time to understand your needs, style and ideas then take it beyond this to deliver such vision. From the initial creative planning and concept stages right to the final project handover this team are exceptional. They are detail focused whilst still being creatively free. Finding an architect can be daunting but they made the full process accessible, enjoyable and delivered beyond our expectations. We now have a gorgeous home. Thank you team LA Hally.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lesley and her team worked with us to design a double storey extension with new double garage and project managed the build from start to finish. It was effectively a complete rebuild, with the whole house being refurbished and remodelled in addition to the new extension. All the way through the process they were absolutely fantastic and guided us through the ups and downs of the project. We're over the moon with the end result and would most definitely recommend LA Hally to anyone considering a project of their own.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lesley and the team took our initial ideas and turned them into something that we could only dream about. An extension that was relatively small in size terms turned a north facing kitchen with an uninspiring conservatory into an amazing , light filled room to be proud of. Lesley and team were also able to suggest suppliers who were able to provide things that were a little bit different, making the difference to the overall finish. We asked Lesley to help with the delivery of the project as this was our first foray into renovation and will always be grateful for her calm, rational approach when things went a little off plan with the building team. Thank you to all at L A Hally for the support, insight and design throughout the project.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lesley and the whole team at LAHally were great. They helped us navigate a tricky renovation in an old house, where unexpected problems and difficulties were sadly quite common! Lesley was always on hand to guide us on matters from the structural aspects down to the tiling details and storage ideas. She helped us find suitable professionals, from the structural engineer to the party wall surveyor. We wouldnât have been able to achieve our beautiful home without all their hard work and perseverance - a huge thank you to the whole team!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weâve used Lesley and her team twice in the last three years for two different house remodelling projects. We now have the home of our dreams (and beyond!), and LA Hally performed the additional miracle of making the whole process not only painless but fabulously enjoyable! I also know without a shadow of a doubt that the vision, knowledge, experience, practicality, and sheer hard work of this firm have saved us a considerable amount of time and money. I cannot recommend Lesley highly enough. She is an expert, a true artist and a diplomat. If youâre thinking about embarking on a project that needs to be just right, on time, and on budget, choosing LA Hally will the best decision you ever make.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
