We reached out on Bark for help. Tom Booker replied to our request for help with submitting retrospective planning permission for a Wheelchair ramp that we had installed to the front of our property. From Tom's initial contact over the phone he put my mind to rest and said not to worry he could sort out the permissions required. Tom visited our property we had a conversation of what we wanted to achieve he duly measured up the installed ramp and submitted the paperwork to our local council. Tom was like a breath of fresh air reassuring us that everything would be fine, he took care of everything that was required and approximately 6 weeks later we had our application approved. Tom was totally professional in his outlook to this task, keeping appraised of what was happening and the timetable of the likely outcome. A huge thank you for your diligence and support in assisting us something that I would never have been able to achieve.

Tom Booker has helped me secure two Certificates of Lawfulness on HMO's that I have purchased. On each occasion there have been unforeseen complications however Tom has highlighted the issues before the application has been made and both have ultimately been successful. He has also enabled me to look into various options to extend a property and after a choice was made, has submitted plans and successfully achieved planning permission on the first attempt. I will most certainly be using his services again as and when the need arises.

We used Tom to obtain a certificate of lawfulness for an HMO we own in Brighton, and would highly recommend him. He was quick, efficient, communicated with us really clearly and we felt the fee was reasonable. We would definitely use Tom's services again.

Tom inspired a lot of confidence. He was clearly very experienced and pointed out a lot of things I hadn’t even thought of. He delivered a great piece of work which has made diving one bathroom into 2 so much easier for me. He has also made himself available for follow up questions even though he has completed the work for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I have a flat in a Grade 2 listed building and have engaged Mr. Booker twice. The first time because, I was advised to apply to the council’s Heritage department for retrospective permission for the changes that had been made to the layout over the years. This turned out to be a lot more complex than I imagined, requiring architectural drawings, researching archives etc. Mr. Booker was recommended by a local solicitor and he took on the job and saw it through to completion, in what was from my point of view a pretty seamless process. He is very pleasant to work with, while giving me full confidence in his competence and professionalism. He explained clearly what was required and why, and then got on with it. Communication was excellent at all times. A task I thought was going to be a nightmare went very smoothly. The second occasion I was required to make adjustments to the doors of my flat to be compliant with the revised ‘post-Grenfell’ fire regulations. Having done so I discovered that these alterations required retrospective Heritage permission. Again, I engaged Tom and again the process went very smoothly. I thoroughly recommend anyone in a similar position to speak to Mr. Booker. It is well worth the money.
