Our approach
How a property gets from a listing to a decision.
Every house we consider goes through the same steps. Most do not get past the second one, and that is the point.
Know the area first
Before we look at a house we study the streets around it: what has sold, for how much, in what condition and how quickly.
Screen against written criteria
We have a written buy box. If a property falls outside it, we say no early and save everyone's time.
View and check
We walk the property with a checklist and note what a survey, a builder or a solicitor needs to confirm.
Offer on evidence
Our offer comes from comparable sales and a costed scope of works. We are happy to explain how we arrived at it.
Deliver the project
A clear scope, a budget with contingency, and regular updates for everyone involved.
Review
When a project ends we write down what worked and what we would change. The next one starts from there.
What we say no to
A narrow focus, on purpose.
We do not take on houses in multiple occupation, serviced accommodation or commercial conversions. Others do those well.
We would rather be good at one thing: three and four bedroom family homes that need sensible, cosmetic work.
Start a conversation
If this sounds like a conversation worth having, we would be glad to hear from you.
