Things to consider before you start
Why are you doing this? It helps to have a really clear idea about what you are trying to achieve, but not to focus too strongly on what you believe the solution might be. Based on their experience, our team may be able to suggest more than one option for you to choose from. What is your budget? There are some things to think about when planning your budget. Consider your specifications. We strongly advise against the false economy of using cheap materials and appliances. Cheap appliances do not last as long, and usually end up costing you money in repairs. If you are a landlord, then upgrading your property should be seen as an investment: using high-quality materials will give your investment the best chance of achieving the highest rent. If you plan to eventually sell the property, upgrading it should also lead to capital appreciation of your asset. Plan for contingencies. No one likes nasty surprises during building work, especially if it’s going to cost. Having dealt with so many different types of properties in Oxford, we are able to identify potential problem areas even at the estimation stage. We encourage you to budget to cover dealing with these problems, which avoids landing you with unexpected additional expenditure. |
