A long overdue post on our most recent renovation project for N8 homes .

We finished this lovely flat 6 weeks ago. A real race to the finish, calls to and fro from Schiphol airport and the final touches only completed as I landed in Cape Town 🛩.

We put some real creativity into this project maximising space in the bedroom with a custom-built wardrobe, adding a handy drawer below the oven in the kitchen, and the lovely feature wall in the living room 🔥.

Really grateful for the teamwork and attention to detail by the team on this one. Special thanks to RK Home Improvements for going above and beyond 🙏⭐.

This property was tenanted within 5 days of completion at £575pcm 🙂.

The professional photos below were only taken a week after completion. Thanks as always to Mahan-Photography!

Having fun at our latest project. Photos in 2 days but managed to get this lovely feature wall squeezed in just in time. I love it! What do you think?

Project Farquhar finished last week but I was too busy snagging to put up some photos.

This was a 1-bed ex-council house full of surprising DIY repairs- 4 layers of tiles in the bathroom, window sills propped up with toilet paper, plumbing held together with duct tape and the list goes on...

We turned this 1-bed into a 2-bed with a lovely new kitchen and bathroom and turned a hallway cupboard into a great utility room. Also gave the outside a much needed face lift 😀.

It wasn't a smooth project with various setbacks, especially on the plumbing side, but we got there in the end.

Really love the look created with the new counter top and backboards, and the lovely marble panels, black taps and shower head on the bathroom ⭐.

Huge congrats to on adding this little beauty to their portfolio! Time to find some nice tenants 😍.

After being non-stop on client projects, finally got a little something in our own home done. It had only been on my list since 2019 😁😜.

Today was like drinking from a fire hose...
✅ Finalised a quote for a new project
✅ Arranged insurance, bought bedding, towels, etc and took 3 bookings for my new holiday let (super excited!!)
✅ Dropped in on the decorator and ended up stripping wallpaper on a new project (just can't resist!)
✅ Kept a step ahead of the carpet fitters laying hatches and fitting final pieces of laminate on another project

Not a dull moment!

Interesting piece of news this morning... Though I'm sure not all absent landlords are in US prisons, there's nothing more frustrating than seeing empty properties when the housing crisis is growing and refugees are put up in hotel rooms.

A call is being made for more aggressive use of compulsory purchase powers to seize property from owners who are holding up recovery of town centres north of the border.

Feel good Wednesday... super happy for our clients:
✅ Their property was advertised for 3 days
✅ It was snapped up by the first person who came to view it
✅ The tenant is moving in within 10 days of viewing

And it's show time for project Froghall... finished last week. Lots of setbacks and it took twice as long as expected but we got there in the end... so privileged to be part of a great power team 💪.

✅ back to brick and insulated all walls and ceilings
✅ floor boards removed, full woodworm treatment and MR chipboard flooring installed
✅ full rewire (yep, live wires dangling loose behind the plasterboard!)
✅ full CH installation (upgrade from microbore and new boiler in new location)
✅ new kitchen, bathroom, hand-crafted stair case railing installed
✅ external pointing, roof works, flashing, skylight removal
✅ filled 4 skips and more to go...

Congrats Fox & Bear Property Ltd ... a very special addition to your portfolio 😍. I hope this cosy cottage soon finds a special tenant!

Project Froghall 🐸 has given us loads of challenges every step of the way. From damp issues to woodworm, fridges filled with rotten food and everything in between. Finally time to start putting it all back together... watch this space!
