We Know What Matters to Tenants (and Your ROI)
Being both a specialist letting agency and refurbishment company, we understand the delicate balance between cost-effective upgrades and long-term value.
Before every project, we ask questions such as:
- Does it need a new carpet or just a deep clean?
- Fully redecorate or just a fresh touch-up?
- Is this £500 detail going to add £50/month in rent?
Our team performs an 800+ point property inspection checklist before any works begin. This ensures we catch not just the obvious, but the minor issues that could turn into major frustrations for tenants later.
Examples we look for:
- Windows and doors not closing properly
- Leaks under sinks or faulty taps
- Broken drawers, cracked toilet seats, damaged light fittings etc.
- Small repairs that build trust and reduce maintenance requests after move-in.
A well-prepared property leads to better tenants, faster lets, and fewer future issues.
On-Trend Upgrades That Drive Rent Increases
Sometimes, a small spend can deliver a significant return. Modernising your property with on-trend finishes - like new taps, a feature wall, or stylish flooring - can increase rent by 10-20% while costing a fraction of that in updates.
We’ll advise you on what tenants in your area expect and help you target maximum rent with minimal spend.

- Roofing & Joinery
- Flooring & Tiling

Struggling to Let? We Can Help
If your property isn’t letting, we’ll assess it and provide low-cost improvement options to help it stand out from the crowd - without a full refurb.
