Savvy landlords recognise London property often stays in really good shape even when the housing market in the rest of the country appears to be on a slide. Because of high demand and limited housing stock, this desire for people to live in London pushes up prices. This is why many investors consider buying residential property in West London with a view to then selling it on at a later date. This is often a smart decision, and if you are in this position or just entering into this process, you may want to think about buying something modest or in not such a great state of repair and turning it into something fantastic.

Property renovation or refurbishment is a smart way to unlock extraordinary value, improve capital return and make more money from property investment in West London. If you are buying to sell, there is no rush or urgent requirement to get renovation work done because you already have a place to live and you are not counting on the new property being completed within a short dealdine. Instead, you can afford to take your time over things, and be dictated to by the numbers, not by your lifestyle.

It is worth getting a team of design and build professionals to work a bit of magic into your property. It may look modest at first, but with a trained and capable architect, a professional interior designer as well as local construction expert who knows the area and the type of building you are buying, this assistance from professionals could help you turn a property into something truely fantastic. Something that will attract a lot of attention on the market. Something you can expect to make a lot more money on the property than if you had just sat on the investment and not done anything proactive.

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.

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

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.

For architecture fans, London is quite a spectacle thanks to its rich history, the style of property owners and its heritage. Many people choose to live in one of the capital’s impressive period buildings but these are not without their problems. It is important to note period buildings often require a good deal of attention to make them comfortable, modern, practical homes.

Property renovation London

Both builders and residential architects in London are very experienced when it comes to transforming period properties into impressive family homes. This is largely because those architects operating in the capital have had to learn their craft working on and adapting the kinds of properties that surround them. Builders worth their salt will also have worked on several period properties before and be familiar with what to look out for, what to pay attention to, and know what can and what can’t be done.

If you own a period property that you feel could do with some improvements, your first port of call is to find a suitable residential architect – along with a capable and trusted builder. However, there is also the option of using a specialist residential design and build company in London. This is the safest way to ensure all your renovation and refurbishment work is completed on budget and to your specification. As well as ensuring any maintenance work after your renovation is complete is attended to with the utmost professionalism. Using a reputable design and build company is also the best way of ensuring your project runs to your anticipated schedule.

Residential property renovation design and build professionals in West London have a lot of experience improving environmental capabilities of older properties, building them to be more energy-efficient, more comfortable and more enjoyable for modern living in London.
