As CIAT Associate members, Yorkshire Property Design Services provides a full range of residential architectural services for homeowners across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Our services include: free in-home design consultation; measured building surveys; architectural concept design and feasibility; planning drawings for householder planning applications; Lawful Development Certificate applications; Building Regulations drawings and specifications; and construction-stage project support.

Why Choose YPDS as Your Leeds Architect?
We offer a fixed-price guarantee on all our design packages. Unlike practices that charge by the hour, our fees are agreed upfront and do not change unless you change the project scope. You always know what you are paying before we start.
Our 25 five-star Google reviews reflect our commitment to quality design, clear communication, and planning outcomes. You deal directly with the architect on your project throughout — not a junior technician or an admin team.
Based in Horsforth, we have extensive knowledge of Leeds City Council’s planning policies, conservation area requirements, and local design character. This local expertise translates into higher first-time approval rates and fewer surprises during the application process.
Our Design Process
Our process is straightforward and transparent. We start with a free in-home visit to assess your property and brief. We then develop concept drawings for your approval, refining the design until you are completely happy. We prepare and submit the planning application to Leeds City Council, managing the process through to decision. Once planning is secured, we produce Building Regulations drawings for your contractor to price and build from.
