New to property investment, this client contacted us with the need to turn around two 3 bedroom properties at breakneck speed. The properties were financed using a bridging loan which would have left our client financially vulnerable if the terms were breeched, even by a day. In one particular case, we had six weeks to turn an uninhabitable property into a saleable home. This is just the kind of challenge we love!

Arranging first for the fumigators to make the property safe, we sent in our crack team of tradesmen to gut the property and install new electrics, plumbing and to decorate throughout. This was achieved in five weeks, leaving us the sixth week to dress to impress. Having bought the property for £150,000, and spending just under £35,000 on the refurbishment, including furnishings, a sale was achieved one day later of £280,000, giving our client a £100,000 pre-tax profit. This allowed him to realise funds to kick start his property portfolio dreams.
