We are planning a loft conversion and so I found 'local' architect from the RIBA website and he quoted me c.£10,000!! (this would include an initial scope, drawings, liaising with the council etc). Is this a complete rip off?? Or am I living in dreamland to think I could get away with paying a couple of thousand for some advice and drawings that I could submit to the council in order to get planning permission (I can do my 'liaising' with them directly thank you very much!)
So how did you find a reliable architect? Is it a must for them to be RIBA-registered? Or if you can recommend anyone (am in SE London), all the better?
