Introduction
This listing is meant as a guide to ensure that you consider all the features that your home has, when you prepare a specification document. You do not have to use the forms we provide to get your details to us, but it does mean that you can relax a little and just fill in the boxes.
Remember if you keep an asset a secret, no-one may discover it. Worse it may be the thing that the one person who was looking for a home just like yours needed to know so that they asked to view the property.
Measure twice, cut once, Ok don't cut at all
It’s an old expression but it’s still true. It means that by measuring twice to be certain of the dimensions, you only have to cut something once, rather than cutting and having to make adjustments because you were wrong the first time. For our purposes, when measuring the dimensions of a room, please be as accurate as possible.
It's worth noting that many true craftsmen would not even measure once, as their eye, from years of experience, became even more accurate than a measure that may have become damaged during use.
