HOORAY!!! 👏 Certificate of Lawful Development approved!! Changed from C1 to Sui Generis based on proven operation as an HMO for more than 10 years. Now, its time to get finance on this baby and release funds for the next project! 😁

Now you all know I love a before and after photo montage...this time it's the outside of 'the beast'.

Demolition of a dilapidated garage, removal of overgrown borders to create more parking space and all the old fencing and general rubbish. Replaced with shiny new fencing and gates.

Really pleased with the results and a blank canvas to create a nice outdoor space for tenants. 😁

Another room done and what a difference it's made! This time it's the kitchen in the downstairs flat. A couple of final touches needed but it's 99% there. Happy days...

Loving this great pipework cover up from our talented chippie 😍 Just a paint job and we'll be all set. I'm seeing a reading corner for our tenants in this HMO.

Transformation time! 4 days - one kitchen refurbishment complete! Do it once and do it well, I say.

This is the kitchen on the first floor of a large HMO. Most of the tenants use this one so we wanted a quick turnaround. Vinyl flooring and blinds cleaned and re-used but the rest is brand spanking new. (All the tenants have fridges in their rooms, which is why there isn't one in here, although we have left space for one). Fab work by chippie Chris, plumbers Mark and Kian, electrician Gary and decorator - me 😁. Now onto the next newly vacant room ..that will only leave 2 bedrooms to go, then its the communal spaces...😱...one day it will end...

Another room in the 'mansion' almost finished - before and after shots as always. Clean, simple, warm and functional = happy new tenant!

Who loves a before and after photo? Certainly me! After a painful few months we've finally got the carpets down in the flat and it is transformed! 😁

Just new doors to go on now and then we're ready to tackle another big job in the house 😬

So we've not been posting for a while - how times flies! What have we been up to? Still refurbing our Skegness property - currently focussed on the flat which is being completely gutted. 2 full skips so far, new heating system in, floors screened, plasterer in this week, then 🤞 we're ready to complete the shower room and get the new kitchen in!

I'm excited to be speaking at the virtual Harrogate pin - property investors network meeting tomorrow night, together with Simon Zutshi. See how Gary Henly and I got into property investing, the deals we did, and the lessons we learned along the way!
