2024 data from Twenty EA shows 47% of properties that went to market in 2024 didn't sell, with Rightmove data showing that for those that did sell, the average time between listing and offer accepted was 64 days.
If your property needs some TLC, you can increase your chances of selling faster, and for the maximum price possible, with our turnkey seller refurbishment service to get your home on the market within a few weeks.
If your property is already on the market, our team will work with you and your estate agent to prioritise the key things that buyers are objecting to.
This gives you the opportunity to command a higher asking price, while increasing your chances of a faster and more secure sale.
We use our Agile Project Management techniques to help you focus on the easy-wins, get your house sparkling without overspending, and fixing things that put buyers off.
We survey the property together with your estate agent.
We discuss the survey with you, providing an itemised estimate.
We can provide local holiday lets to stay in during invasive works.
We can arrange storage of your belongings to help declutter.
We can provide a full interior design and home staging service.
We can clean between viewings to keep things sparkling.
Your estate agent can list the property
If you need funds in a hurry, we can sometimes purchase the property direct from you, while also helping save money on professional fees.
You retain the property and we work for free, under a contract that sees us get paid from the proceeds when the property is sold:
We survey the property together.
We estimate the likely costs and profit to be realised.
We carry out the works.
The agent sells the property and we share the profits.
Q: What do you mean when you say 'things that put buyers off'?
A: The toilet seat is an obvious one, but really anything that the new buyer will touch that isn't sparkling can make a big difference. When we replace grubby, yellowed, greasy or over-painted switches, sockets, and light pendants, the difference can be transformational. Mouldy silicone seals on baths and showers are another key area, and we can research replacement parts to make a shower enclosure look like new again.
Q: Isn't this all really expensive?
A: Not when you consider the difference between selling your house for the asking price, or taking a hit because buyers are put off. Our Lincolnshire case study is a prime example, that even towards the lower end of the market, there are considerable gains to be had by using our services, both financially and in terms of time spent on the market.
Q: Why don't I just do all this myself?
A: Having a keen eye for detail and 'fresh eyes' that can see the wood for the trees, can make all the difference. There will also be things that need expertise beyond even the most confident DIY-er; a professional finish will give your buyers confidence in the work, so we use specialist tradespeople to get each job done to a high standard, and the work we do is fully insured. Time is money, so getting the property turned around and sold quickly means that you can put your money to work for you, rather than having it tied up in a vacant property.
Q: How does the billing work?
A: If you fund the works, 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.
A: If we fund the works, or purchase the property from you directly, we would provide a standard contract for you to give to your solicitor.
