Statement Now
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.
Consent or Money Back Guarantee
Every statement is professionally checked before you pay. If your project qualifies and listed building consent is refused for the proposal we reviewed, we will refund your Statement Now fee.
We tell you whether your project qualifies before you pay, so you are never charged without knowing.
- It covers the proposal we reviewed. If you change the proposal, it no longer applies.
- It applies if the council formally refuses listed building consent. Consent granted, with or without conditions, and applications that are withdrawn, invalid or undetermined are not covered.
- It refunds the Statement Now fee only. It is not a promise that consent will be granted, and it does not cover other project costs.
- Time limits apply to submitting your application and making a claim.

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.
