Productive consultations with your building company ensure you get what you want from your renovation

June 18, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It is important that you have a good idea of what you actually want to get out of your house renovation upon making plans with a specialist company. Design and build companies are flexible because they deal with the architecture, the building and the interior design that goes into your project. This flexibility is something you should be looking to take advantage of at every opportunity.

Perhaps the main thing you hope to get out of your renovation project is a new look interior. In this case you need to have a few very productive and open conversations with your chosen project manager. They will be in charge ensuring all your personal preferences are put into action, providing they are tenable as far as your builders and architects and concerned.

Another major motivation for a lot of people who have extensive interior house renovations done is energy. The last thing you want to do is waste energy through poor insulation and old building work that hasn’t been updated in decades. To save money on your energy bills, you can get the builders in to give your house more modern forms of protection against waste.

Parts of London where house renovation is really popular

June 10, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Some parts of London are made truly memorable by the properties that line their streets and avenues. When you think about areas like Kensington and Chelsea, certain images are always conjured, including stunning facades, wonderful architecture and a real sense of heritage and class in the surrounding areas.

If you are looking at property in Kensington, Chelsea, Twickenham, Knightsbridge or any of the other outstanding parts of the capital, then it is likely you have also thought about how you can make one of these stunning properties your own in a stylistic sense.

The special thing about houses in these environs is that they look so arresting on the outside, but many of them require a bit of attention on the interior – not simply because they aren’t up to scratch but because they are old properties and need modernising in order to satisfy more modern concerns.

For interior designers, London is the best place to be, purely because house renovation in London is a really popular practice. Building companies in the capital are well-established and have an excellent record when it comes to putting impressive and attractive interior renovations into practice.

Renovation advice for landlords looking to make the most of their properties

June 4, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

If you are the landlord of an impressive London property then you will want to do all you can to attract the most suitable tenants. This means taking a very keen approach to the upkeep of your property. You are much more likely to attract the sort of rent you expect to receive if your property is well looked after.

Perhaps the most appropriate course of action for any landlord in the capital is to make sure your property has received a thorough modernisation. No matter how prestigious your property, if it does not meet the aesthetic and practical expectations of prospective tenants on the inside you will struggle to attract interest.

You need to prepare your property for modern living. A modernisation project of a really high standard should be all you need to revamp the interiors to make them as impressive as the exterior. This sort of investment makes a great deal of sense if it makes your property considerably more attractive to potential tenants.

Interior designers in London are the ideal professionals to get on the case for your revamp, although you will need to get the architects and builders involved if you plan to make some more profound changes.

Professional renovation optimises investment

May 21, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The best deals to be found in West London property are for those homes that need of significant modernisation. However, these homes represent the best investment not just because of the maths involved, but because there is so much potential to unlock. To move good property to the superb, superb property to the magnificent and magnificent property to the truly outstanding takes skill, time and resources. If you are prepared to put a little time and effort (as well as having the resources) to bring a fine period property up to scratch, the rewards can be huge. Sure financial considerations stack up and your financial return on investment will be strong, but it’s the non-financial benefits that change the way you live that are difficult to assign a value to and should not be underestimated. Of course, embarking on a substantial renovation project on your own is time-consuming, daunting, expensive and probably a little bit risky if you are not an experienced architect or builder. Even if you have a clear vision for your property, do you have the technical design expertise, experience with local planning authorities, the project management experience or the procurement know how to guarantee your project is successful? You also need time and managing a property refurbishment in London is a full time job. This is why it is so important to involve professional renovation experts in your project from the very beginning, who can project manage the whole process and make the transformation of your home an enjoyable and rewarding experience rather than a burden.

When it comes to property renovation, London is very well-served by professional residential architects, interior designers and excellent builders. These players are capable of completely transforming your home to meet the needs of a modern family and today’s hectic lifestyles. Taking both aesthetics and functionality into account, skilled residential architects make sure your property becomes a home you can feel proud of and be exceedingly comfortable in at the same time. Quality local builders will be familiar with the type of building you are renovating as well as being considerate to your neighbours. After all, you don’t want to fall out with your neighbours having just spent a lot of energy trying to create a fabulous home. London’s interior designers also take your lifestyle and tastes on board, enhancing the character of period properties rather than detracting from them.

London architecture is frequently impressive, but to make the most of a good house that looks fantastic on the outside, you will need to make sure your interior design and layout is not only comfortable, but safe, fit for purpose and attractive. The best way of achieving this is to appoint professionals who completely renovate your property from design, build and interior design. You should also insist on appointing someone to project manage the entire refurbishment process with one point of contact for you – someone who is accountable for all elements of the project, not just one or two elements.

Selecting a design and build company to cover all angles

May 2, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It is important that you select a contractor very carefully when you are looking to modernise your London property. London properties can be extremely striking, but they take on an even more impressive appearance once they have been renovated professionally to bring them into the modern age.

Your best choice when you are hoping to facilitate some changes to the interiors of your property is get in contact with a team of professionals that will see to all of the important steps towards achieving your renovation. This way you can benefit from having a single point of contact.

When you get the job done by a single design and build company that is prepared to address architectural and design matters, building work and interior design work as part of the same package, you will benefit from the smoother communication this approach involves. Otherwise you might be left chasing a number of different tradesmen offering different services.

The most tangible differences you’ll see from making this choice with regard to your design and build company will come in the shape of reduced disruption to you personally, more efficiency with regard to timescales and improved relations with your project manager.

Changing family circumstances often necessitate property renovation

April 28, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

When your family circumstances change, it is often the case that you need to make a few home improvements to keep pace with your family’s changing needs. If you are just starting a family and your home is spacious enough to cope with a couple of new arrivals, then you may not need to move house or extend your property, but it could potentially do with some renovation work to bring it up to date and to make it more suitable.

This is often the case in homes in some of the more affluent parts of London where properties are spacious but occasionally in need of some attention on their interiors to make them better suited to modern families. Renovations on these properties often take into the energy that can be saved by improving the interiors as well as the aesthetic impact of a revamp.

If you expect to need to redecorate extensively in order to accommodate the changes your family is going through, then it is best to get any renovation out of the way before you start. Then you can finish off the revamp with some really attractive interior design choices to make sure your home remains the perfect place to raise your family.

The positive way to deal with buying property in a great area of London

April 4, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

If you have your heart set on living in a certain part of London then you are not always in a position to make demands of the area in terms of the houses that become available. You have to think about the location first and foremost if you know that a specific region or road is perfect for you. You may also have to face up to the idea that few houses make it onto the market in your chosen area.

You do have a really positive option if this is your situation. When a property on the street you want to live on makes it onto the market and it is not really up to your standards then you could actually invest in the property in order to give it that lift that will make all the difference.

Investing in renovation in London is quite a popular activity because people recognise that they are not always going to get exactly what they want when they want it. Instead of compromising, they take the more positive route of taking matters into their own hands and changing a property that becomes available to suit them.

Renovating a property as an investment for the future (Part 2)

March 4, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Perhaps the best way of going about your renovation is to get professional teams involved. If you can secure the help of a design and build team that can conduct all the work from the initial architecture and design to the construction work and the interior design at the end of the project then you stand a better chance of being able to get the property back on the market at a vastly improved price relatively soon.

Of course, this may not be what you actually intend to do with the property. You might actually prefer to rent the property out because you don’t actually want to get rid of the investment straight away. Otherwise you may be very proud of the work you have put in and you would be sad to see it go.

Whatever you choose to do with the property once it has been renovated, one thing is clear. It is all about the quality of the work that is done. You need to address repair work at the same time as making the place attractive to future buyers or tenants so that nothing gets in the way of making money on the property when you choose to.

Renovating a property as an investment for the future (Part 1)

February 26, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It can be a really good idea to get hold of quite a cheap property on the market and turn it into something worth a good deal more. This is something that is certainly possible given the number of repossessions that make it onto the market nowadays and properties that sell at auction for a very good price. Often these houses are in pretty poor condition, but they can be saved with some proper repair work.

London is full of properties that have fallen into disrepair but which but actually command a really good price on the market if they were in good shape because of their locations. London is a desirable place to live and there is always likely to be demand for properties in each district.

It is all a matter of putting in the time and effort to have the place renovated. If you do this then you could actually make some serious money out of it. If you invest in really good quality renovation and interior design then you stand to create a lot of interest in your property once the project is complete.

Professional designers have real flair for renovations

January 21, 2018 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Design is obviously a central part of renovations. If you are able to put really cool designs into effect then your house is certain to look much more attractive and in many cases the value of the property will rise as a result of the intelligent design that has gone into it. However, not all people keen on renovating their properties boast the creative talent for design that makes a difference.

This is why it is such a good idea to use professional designers who can focus their time and attention on designing a renovation that really suits the look you are trying to achieve. Professional designers have the talent and experience necessary to interpret your requirements in an artistic manner and to show you how your thoughts might appear on paper.

This is the perfect way to gain a proper visual idea of what you are after from your renovation. The fact that your designers have such creative flair also means that they will be able to offer you good advice when it comes to putting certain changes into effect given the existing state of your property and what you are likely to use the renovated space for.
