Renovate for Sale

Six houses, and what they made

What each property gained in sale value, and how. The cost of the work comes out of these figures - they are the uplift, not the profit.

Past projects

What the work was worth

In every case below we funded the renovation, managed it, and recovered the cost from the sale. Each project has its own page with the full arithmetic - what it was worth before, what the work cost, and what was left for the estate afterwards.

  • The kitchen before we started - dated units and no usable worktop
    Before
    The same kitchen after the refurbishment
    After

    +£170,000

    A Bristol house nobody had visited for years

    Empty long enough that it had stopped being sellable to anyone but a cash buyer. A full refurbishment put it back in front of ordinary buyers with a mortgage.

  • The property in the condition no lender would touch
    Before
    The same property after the work, mortgageable again
    After

    Mortgageable again

    A three-bed no lender would touch

    Unmortgageable in its original condition, which put it out of reach of almost every buyer. After the work it went on the open market at a healthy profit.
