Project Insight

Purchased through repossession, the property required significant attention before any transformation could begin. Its generous footprint and strong resale potential made the shift from a single bedroom to a two‑bedroom layout the clear strategic route.

The initial phase involved resolving extensive damp and safely removing asbestos, ensuring the building was sound before progressing.

The internal configuration was reimagined: the central room was opened up by removing the spine wall, creating a combined kitchen, dining, and living space. The former kitchen was repurposed into a well‑proportioned second bedroom, resulting in two comfortable doubles.

All services were renewed, including full plumbing and electrical installations, and the home was fitted with quality fixtures and appliances.

A complete decorative overhaul tied the scheme together, giving the property a clean, cohesive finish suited to its target market.

The project was delivered in 16 weeks, allowing the property to be relaunched promptly and positioned for a strong resale.
