I am now available to carry out research on the history of houses and the people who lived in them, in Nottingham and the surrounding area. I’m particularly interested in Victorian properties but will branch out where appropriate resources are available.
If you’d like to see who lived in your house through time or maybe you want to discover if a renowned architect was involved in designing your property, then please contact me to arrange a research package.
Cost: The research fee is £30 per hour, with a minimum of two hours required for the initial commission. Payment can be made via bank transfer or PayPal.
Terms and Conditions: Additional expenses incurred from visits to archives, document charges, photography permits, picture rights, printing etc., will be charged at cost, in addition to the hourly rate. Email correspondence is included in the overall fee.
If you would like a tailored package, please specify your requirements or budget.
The results will be presented in a document that will include any pictures I find or links to online resources. I will also compile a file of documents relating to the property and any connections I can find to persons who have lived there.
Once we’ve agreed on the research strategy and the scope of work, the job can proceed. I will report on the research process, detailing the sources used and presenting all findings – positive or negative – to create a complete picture where possible.
