Victorian mosaic tiling completed on a project in North Cave a stones throw away from Home 🏡

Floor prep
Cement board
Prime

The mosaic worked very well due to the uneven floor surface, leveling was not practical in this hallway as it would have caused issues in the transition/threshold into the living room...

Newly plastered ceiling 😍

Customer had a bathroom leak that caused existing ceiling to start collapsing… 😕
With a little girl in the house it was a worry for all. 😰

We hoped it could be a cut out and repair job… but unfortunately from cutting out the problem area we uncovered old lath that had been plastered over 4-5 times already!!!
The weight of the ceiling combined with the leak it’s no surprise the ceiling started to delaminate from the joists.

Because it was dropping and was a danger if we patched it up the concern was that the rest of the ceiling would come down at some point - so best to drop the full ceiling.
Speaking to the customer we agreed on the plan of action and got to ripping the full ceiling out.

Messy messy work. 😶‍🌫️Made me and Richard look like chimney sweeps for the day 🌑 😅

Did some joist bracing - in order to be able to save the coving and keep the aesthetic which was really important.
The over battoning will also make the boards more structurally sound with drill points and keep the weight of the ceiling down as we would have had to double board if not to get things level with the coving,

All in all a long messy fee days, but a great result in the end! 💪🏻☺️

Looks brill and now it’s safe and fresh ready for painting.

Take alook at our sister companies page

Is winter a good time to buy property? 🤔
Buying Property in Doncaster September - December.🏡

Its no secret that in the UK its widely regarded that Spring months are considered some of the best times to sell property in the UK.
This is largely based on those months showing the highest number of active properties coming to the market.

However, we are hear to talk about the Autumn months and what opportunities they provide to prospective investors.
For this conversation I look more towards supply and demand fundamentals, its generally considered some of the best deals can be obtained within the Autumn months.
The reasons for this lean to aspects such as ;
🏡Motivated sellers - residential sellers wanting to sell up before Christmas to spend that in their new shiny house or start a new year in a new property! The new year effect is a real thing! So its the perfect time to take advantage of a cheeky offer that can complete in 5-6 weeks with LPI power team to give added incentive for those motivated sellers wanting out before the year comes to an end.
🏡End of Year Hibernation - the housing market generally slows down in the later months of the year, sellers and buyers starting to hibernate for the winter months. This means the properties coming to market are more few and far in-between. What this means is demand for buyers can increase and could put investors in a strong position with the right property. If everyone else is asleep but we are still actively hunting that's when you can find a gem!
🏡Slow down knock on effect - with a slow down in active sales the full chain also eases up a bit with estate agents, solicitors and lenders all having a little more breathing space compared to the summer months. It all means those completion times can be even quicker and if its a motivated seller that needs their funds liquid ASAP it could work in your favour.
🏡The Picture effect - there is some research into the shallow nature of buyers and how they perceive property images, think along the lines of "never judge a book by its cover"... if listing images done look the best due to poor daylight, damp and wet external images etc they may come across as less appealing and the transfers from link clicks to viewings may be less. Some estate agents even photoshop blue skies onto images to appeal more to online viewers!!
So as business owners and property investors we aren't put off by silly things like that! Take the opportunity!
🏡Post summer school holidays - If you're in the market for a larger investment in the form of more of a family home option, September is brilliant! Kids are back at school and the summer holiday fun is over. Usually there is an uptake in family home sized properties at this time (as well as spring as a comparison).

Bigger picture as we all know in the property world the well known phrase "dont wait to buy property - buy property and wait!"
There isnt a golden rule to follow really... at the end of the day if the figures stack up and its a solid financial investment that will provide yield and/ or return on investment then its the right time to buy.

LPI will provide you with all the figures to ascertain if a property is a sound financial investment no matter what stage in the season we are.

But I do always keep my eyes particularly pealed around this time of year for those little gems that may just finish off the year nicely, we've bought in November/ December time a few times and its always paid off put it that way.😉
