Problems we See with every property investor has their own horror stories of shoddy workers and cowboy builders who hide poor workmanship behind a final skim of plaster. Nobody wants to take that risk with their investment properties. Not only does it earn you a bad reputation with your tenants and letting partners, it reduces your ROI as you have to pay for the work to be redone by reliable professionals.

Running a refurbishment or renovation project takes time and effort. Even the planning process can take months or years to complete, and that’s before you’ve hired the various trades needed to complete the build. Do you have the time and resources to handle all that, let alone the day-to-day running of the site?

Badly finished properties don’t keep tenants for long. As soon as they can put together a deposit for a better house with another landlord, they will be out, and you’ll be left scraping around for another tenant prepared to put up with the cold, the damp, the uneven floorboards, or whatever else is ailing the property. All of this can affect your return on investment.

With building costs and materials in a seemingly constant flux, it can be difficult to know when your property is liable to make a return on investment. You need an experienced builder with decades of relevant expertise in planning and design who can provide accurate cost projections for the full length of the project.
