The brief
Take a tired property and bring it back to a condition fit to live in, let or sell, with a clear improvement rather than a patch-up.
Hobbs Court, Bermondsey
Residential transformation: the kind of job where the before-and-after photographs do the talking.
The challenge
Properties in this condition rarely come with a reliable list of what is wrong. Some of it is cosmetic and some of it is not, and the two look similar until someone opens things up. Spend everywhere and the budget goes on work nobody will ever see; spend only on surfaces and the same problems return within a year.
Our approach
- Investigated the property properly first, separating cosmetic tiredness from anything structural, damp related or unsafe.
- Established the client's objective for the property, because the right specification for a long-term hold is not the right one for an immediate sale.
- Put the budget into the works that changed the property's condition and value, and challenged anything that did not earn its place.
- Delivered with coordinated trades and one point of contact, photographing the work as it progressed.
The outcome
- A visible, documented transformation from the condition we found to the finished property.
- Underlying issues dealt with rather than decorated over.
- Budget concentrated where it affected the property's condition and value.
