Why download a template, when you can have a professionally authored heritage statement within 24 hours for just £99?

For simple works a proportionate statement is just a dozen questions away. No wrestling with AI tools, formatting a document yourself, or working out what a planning officer needs to see.

What it Does

See a brief intro to Statement Now - the best way to get your listed building application moving quickly and without spending hours researching the requirements for your works.

What Statement Now does

Statement Now is a guided, online way to prepare a heritage statement to support a listed building consent application for straightforward home improvement or repair work.

You start by finding your listed building, then answer a structured set of questions about your property and your proposed works. Statement Now assembles your answers into a heritage statement, section by section, which you review and download.

Checked before issue

Every completed Statement Now statement is checked by Recept Heritage before issue for completeness, clarity and consistency. This is not a full bespoke heritage assessment, site inspection, or a guarantee that an application will be validated or approved.

Built for straightforward cases

Statement Now is built for straightforward listed building consent cases, such as common repairs, alterations, and minor works to a listed home.

It is not a general planning advice service, a heritage consultancy, or a route for unusual, complex, or contentious cases. If your case needs bespoke professional judgement, a guided builder is not the right tool, and you should seek advice from a heritage consultant.

Backed by Recept Heritage

Statement Now is built and operated by Recept Heritage, heritage consultants. For complex, sensitive or contentious cases beyond Statement Now's straightforward scope, Recept Heritage also offers bespoke, consultant-led heritage advice.
