Renovations for owners abroad
Renovating a London flat or house while you live abroad? We run the whole project and keep you updated at every stage.
A team you can trust when you are not there
Many London owners buy a flat as an investment or a second home and live somewhere else. You need a team that does the work properly, keeps to the plan and tells you the truth about progress.
That is how we renovated a Kensington flat for owners living outside the UK: stripped back to the walls and completely redone, with the whole process managed for them.
- One point of contact from quote to handover
- Regular photo and video updates
- Every decision and change agreed in writing
- Stage payments linked to finished work
- Materials ordered and checked for you
- Ready to let or move into at handover
We recently bought a flat in Kensington as investment property for Airbnb and used this company for the full renovation. The flat was stripped back to the walls and completely redone. … Since we don't live in the UK, it was important to have a team we could trust to manage the project. Everything was well organised and the whole process was smooth.
