The potential of London houses to accommodate commercial ventures

December 24, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Turning a house into a commercial building is obviously quite a tall order. You need to satisfy all of the important requirements of the commercial space you are looking to benefit from. Some of the houses in London are incredibly versatile when it comes to turning them into workplaces, but you need to have the expertise of skilful designers on your side.

Designers in London are certainly capable of converting London homes into suitable London offices, shops, practices and salons. However, many of them are capable of doing much more than this. They can turn your London property into a really stunning architectural example of how the modern meets the historical.

Preserving the heritage and the architectural integrity of London houses is high on the list of priorities of London architects, even when those houses are being renovated in order to accommodate commercial enterprises. Since lots of commercial ventures demand modern interiors, designers and builders in London must rise to the occasion in order to meet both demands.

When it comes to architects London is home to some outstanding creative teams. It is these teams you want in charge of your project so that your property becomes a practical and visually impressive workplace.

Renovations are best approached in a single package

December 17, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Consistency and teamwork are absolutely crucial to the success of any building project. However, these values are not always easy to achieve. Difficulties often arise because of miscommunication and a lack of togetherness when it comes to putting certain practices into action and this can cause a project to stall which leads to logistical problems and issues related to your budget.

The key is to avoid situations like this arising at every opportunity, but this can be difficult when you are dealing with a collection of independent, unconnected contractors. If your architects, builders, interior designers and project managers are not all singing from the same hymn sheet then problems are likely to occur.

Fortunately, London is home to some very reputable companies that specialise in bringing all of these different elements of a project under one roof. If your architects, interior designers and builders all work for the same building company in London, then everyone has the same common goal and your renovation project will benefit immensely.

If you to reduce the risk of communication problems and misunderstandings between different contributors to your project, then seek out a professional design and build company that can deliver each discipline as part of a single package.

How to renovate your London home and maximise return on your property

December 9, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

When thinking about your property and living arrangements in London, renovation and refurbishment are usually high on the agenda. Prospective and current property owners in London often think “How can I optimise return on this property in 5 or 10 years time when selling the property and make the best use of space in the meantime?” This is driven by the property owners’ desire to make the best of their time whilst living in the property as well as driven by the financial gain realised from their property investment.

Gordana Mandic comments “When considering a home renovation project, we usually advise property owners the best way to realise a return on that refurbishment and investment is to carry out the project a few years ahead of selling your property. This way, you tend to get the best of everything.” Gordana, a qualified Engineer of Architecture continues… “You enjoy the renovation long after all the home improvements are completed as well as immediately improving your lifestyle and well being. Your home becomes fresh and innovative and remains so. Much more appealing for prospective buyers when considering properties to buy in prime central London.”

Structural improvements to the fabric of the building and small but dramatic steps taken to improve the way space is used increase the value of your property as well as helping you realise more return on your property investment. When clients eventually decide to sell their property (as their primary residence or to realise an investment) they do so for a much higher price and yield, realising much more return on their investment than if they had chosen not to carry out the renovation at all.

As both architect and fine local builders, specialising in property renovation in Chelsea, Kensington and Westminster, TylerMandic routinely carry out all sorts of practical and aesthetic improvement works on London’s fine residential property and residences

Modernise your period London property to make it easier to look after

December 1, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It can be really hard to look after a period property. There are lots of period properties in London and their owners take a great deal of pride in them, but that does not mean they don’t recognise they have their work cut out to keep them in good shape.

This is not just because the properties are aging, although this does represent a hurdle that you need to get over if you are going to own an older house. Some of the issues to do with the maintenance of period properties are down to the fact that they don’t boast the same modern conveniences as younger homes.

Many people are prepared to put in the work to make their London properties look fantastic, but when it gets too much for them they seek help through renovation. This is an exceptionally sensible avenue to take. The renovation route is popular because it gives period properties all of those modern conveniences that are missing.

It also helps to clean them up properly and replaces any aging features and fittings and permanent parts of each room. This makes the whole house much easier to maintain.
