With a background in civil engineering and membership in the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB), Marcus bridges the gap between architectural vision and on-site reality. His expertise lies in accurate cost estimation for major works, helping investors determine if a 'fixer-upper' is a bargain or a money pit. Marcus provides detailed technical knowledge on Permitted Development rights, navigating the planning application process, and complying with strict Building Regulations for safety and insulation. He writes passionately about the practicalities of retrofitting older homes to improve EPC ratings, tackling issues like damp proofing, rewiring, and removing structural walls. His goal is to help homeowners and investors spend their renovation budget where it adds the most significant value, avoiding over-capitalization in ceiling-price sensitive areas.
