Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 23 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

About
Specialising in personalised luxury, Tsiantar Architects was formed by the late George Tsiantar in 1986 and is co-owned by all staff. This Cheshire based Practice not only provides a complete architectural design service, but places heavy emphasis on a close and personal relationship with its clients. In turn, this enables the firm not only to handle projects from conception right through to construction, but to apply their creativity to every area of your home: from the design of interiors, lighting and furnishings, and even to such details as a bespoke dinner service and cutlery. The practice has designed homes all over the world, from the UK and USA, to Europe and South Africa, with each property having its own personality and influences. Whether modernist or Arts and Crafts, Victorian or contemporary, the finished product exudes the essences of these styles but still has its own identity. For this reason the firm avoids a ‘house style’, but rather fashions the end result according to its environment and the client’s particular tastes and goals. The practice has long experience of working with existing, old and even ancient properties. By giving them a complete makeover, these can become just as personalised as a complete new-build, creating not just accommodation but a defined lifestyle.

Worth checking yourself
Only a few public reviews are shown. Ask for recent references you can contact.
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterOnly someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
