Who This Is For

This is for you if

  • You want HMO expertise from another developer on where to spend your money to maximise your return
  • You're already investing in UK property
  • You're taking on a larger HMO refurbishment or conversion
  • You've bought, are under offer, or have a project coming up
  • You're investing significant capital into the refurbishment
  • You want the costs, contracts and contractor payments properly controlled
  • You want professional oversight without living on site

This is not for you if

  • You're still learning the basics of property
  • You don't have a project coming up
  • You're looking for a property course or mentorship
  • You simply want the cheapest builder
  • You're looking to cut corners on the build

How It Works

Commercial Control From Start to Finish

Protect your budget from the start and keep control of costs throughout the build.

Phase 1

Get It Right Before the Build

Clear scope of works, contractor tender process and a proper contract in place to protect your capital

Phase 2

Keep Control of the Costs

Track cashflow, assess variations and only pay against work that's actually been completed.

Phase 3

Close Out the Numbers

Reconcile the final costs and know exactly where your refurbishment finished against budget.
