Our service for landlords and home-improvers
In addition to specialist services aimed at Buyers and Sellers, we also work with both landlords and homeowners who see value in improving over moving.
With the rising cost of stamp duty, improving your existing home with a refurbishment and some good interior design can deliver more value than moving. For more intrusive levels of work we can arrange for you to move to a local short-term let, or complete the works while you are on holiday.
Alternatively, for landlords who have a tenancy coming to an end, we provide a different range of services, focused on getting the property re-tenanted as soon as possible to maintain cash flow.

How does it work?
We use our Agile Project Management techniques to help you focus on the easy-wins and get your house sparkling again within a fixed price and timescale.
We survey the property together with you, an interior designer, or agent.
We discuss the survey with you, providing an estimate for each item.
You can set a budget and we will aim to deliver maximum impact from it.
We schedule the project between tenancies or during your holiday.
We provide a fixed price quotation to deliver the items in priority order.
We deliver the work, and you our your tenants can move in.
Frequently asked questions:
Q: What sort of things put tenants off'?
A: Smells and general cleanliness make a big difference. We recommend redecoration and new carpets as a minimum, but replacing switches, sockets, light pendants, door handles and toilet seats can all make a very noticeable difference. Seals on baths and showers are another area, where a couple of day's labour and some spare parts can give a shower enclosure a fresh new look. An overall deep-clean can also make all the difference.
Q: Is this work going to be viable?
A: A dirty and tired property will attract the kind of tenants likely to cause you issues and preclude getting a top rental figure. By refreshing the property and presenting it at its best, you will attract better tenants who are more likely to take pride in their home. We've provided some estimated prices for a 3, 4 and 5 bed house and you may be surprised how far £5000 gets you in terms of refreshing your rental property.

Q: How does the billing work?
A: We act as a main contractor and take full responsibility for the delivery of the project. We are fully insured for all the work we do, and pay our subcontractiors separately. This leaves you with one itemised bill to pay from us, and a single point of contact for any issues.
