TOP 5 TIPS FOR NAMING YOUR HOME
Would you like to find out your house’s name?
This FREE detailed downloadable guide by The House Detective shows you how to find out if your house ever had a name. If one can’t be found, or if it never had one, it also provides suggestions for how to choose a suitable name for your home, based on names used in the past, or other popular ways of christening a house throughout history.
You can download the guide for FREE via this link.
RECOMMENDED RENOVATION READING LIST
Renovation and restoration of old houses is a specialist area. Thankfully, much work has been published previously on understanding, restoring and furnishing old houses. I have put together a recommended reading list of some fantastic books that cover all the different areas involved. You can download the list for FREE via this link.
Although the information from my pre-renovation advice and these books is a good start, there is nothing like knowing the unique story of your individual home before you start changing your house. I offer a range of research services, including searching for the date of construction, looking for old photos, finding out if it had a name and much, much more. You can view my packages and prices here, or feel free to contact me with any questions.
