Less scope than a full renovation, more scope than a redecoration. ### Who it's for Landlords turning around a rental between tenants, buyers renovating a newly-purchased property before moving in, sellers refurbishing before listing, and homeowners updating a tired property without a full strip-out. ### When you need it Between tenants on a buy-to-let, on completion of a purchase before moving in, before listing a property for sale, or when a property is 'liveable but tired' and needs to move up two rungs. ### Why professional matters Refurbishments have the highest £-per-hour return of any property work, the right £15k spend can add £30k to a sale price or £300/month to a rental. The math only works if the scope is tight and the programme holds. The cost of getting it wrong ## Why cheap refurbs eat their own returns A refurbishment is a financial project as much as a construction one. Overrun, over-spend or a poor finish, and the returns disappear. If ignored - Empty months = rental loss Every month a rental sits empty is £1.5-4k of lost rent. A refurb that overruns 2 months has already lost its own margin. - Poor finish loses buyers Bathrooms and kitchens are the two rooms buyers price on. A cheap-looking finish knocks £10-30k off offers. - Corner-cut electrics fail EICR Failing to update tired electrics as part of a refurb means an unsatisfactory EICR the day you try to let, then you close again to fix it. - No warranty on landlord-grade work Landlord-grade work with no written guarantee means every defect is your problem forever. Common mistakes - Awarding on day rate Day-rate refurbs drift. Every extra week eats the return. - Skipping the survey Photo-only quotes miss the electrics, damp and pipework issues that later blow the budget. - No written scope A verbal scope produces disputed final invoices. Everything gets priced and signed off in writing.

Still not sure? Call Jay directly on [07460 046234](tel:07460046234). What's the difference between a refurbishment and a renovation? A refurbishment is targeted works, updating what's there, replacing kitchens / bathrooms, replastering, redecoration. A renovation is a bigger strip-out with structural or layout changes. Refurbs are typically 2-8 weeks; renovations 8-20+. Do you have a minimum project size? No. We take on refurbishments of all sizes, single rooms, single bathrooms, buy-to-let turnarounds, whole flats and whole houses. How fast can you turn round a buy-to-let? Typical turnaround is 2-4 weeks depending on the scope. Programme committed in writing before we start. Do you provide certificates for landlords? Yes. Part P electrical certificates via our NICEIC partners, and Gas Safe certificates on any gas / boiler works, ready for the EICR and gas safety compliance a rental requires. Can you work while the property is occupied? Yes for lighter refurbs (redecoration, single-room upgrades). Whole-flat refurbs are much cleaner and faster with the property empty. How do you handle changes mid-project? Written change control. Every variation is priced and signed off before it's done, no surprises on the final invoice. What insurance do you carry? £1,000,000 public and employer's liability insurance, plus Gas Safe registration and NICEIC partnership for notifiable electrics.
