[01]Why one person

Price the worksbefore you offer.

The best time to price a refurbishment is before you offer, not after you own the house.

  • The appraisal, the offer and the works budget all come from the same set of numbers
  • The spec is set by the exit you have chosen, not by the builder
  • One point of contact and one weekly report from offer to keys
  • No handover gap between the buying agent and the refurbishment

[02]The five stages

One line, from the searchto the keys.

Your criteria and the exit you want, written down and agreed.

Search[02]

On market, off market and agent relationships. The works are scoped at every viewing.

Offer[03]

Offer and purchase

The works budget priced into the offer, then the purchase taken through to completion.

Works[04]

Refurbishment managed

Schedule of works, three quotes, programme, weekly visits and a report every Friday.

Keys[05]

Handover to your chosen exit

Certificates, warranties, the final account and the keys, ready for the exit you chose at the start.

[03]How it is paid

One fee, less thanthe two separately.

One bundled fee covering both services, lower than the two booked separately, with the deal appraisal and the refurbishment review included.

It is set in the agreement before any work starts and paid in stages: the buying fee on completion and the refurbishment fee in three parts. Two agreements sit underneath, estate agency terms for the purchase and a services agreement for the works, but you get one proposal, one fee table and one reporting line.

[FAQ]Common questions

Straight answers.

Why combine the two?

Because the works budget and the offer come from the same numbers, and the spec is set by the exit you have chosen.

Is it cheaper than booking them separately?

Yes. The bundled fee is lower than the two services booked separately.

Who owns the property?

You do. It is your purchase, with your own funds, in your own name. I act as your buying agent and coordinate the works for you.

Can the exit be set up too?

Yes. Done for you adds the exit set-up before handover, under the same agreement.
