S2. Ep 3. In conversation with Mark Somerfield, a heritage consultant

In this episode I am joined by Mark Somerfield, a heritage consultant working with private clients and currently working with the Canal & River Trust as an advisor.

We talk about how Mark came to work in the industry and some of the incredible projects he has been involved in including the work he is currently undertaking with the Canal & River Trust. It is a real eye opener into what constitutes as heritage and what additional factors you might need to consider such as ecology, bats, swallows, structural engineering, waterways and bridges.

Mark also shares advice on how to care for a traditional property, the importance of teamwork and buying the right property.

It will be an interesting listen for anyone embarking on a project and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
