The house underwent a complete renovation, from replastering to rewiring and plumbing. There were structural additions to the ground-floor, with a six-metre extension and double-dormer loft conversion upstairs. The garden was landscaped with a built-in seated area and a separate brick out-house built with its own electrics, providing the purchaser with an ideal home office (a popular housing trend since the pandemic). In terms of design and finish, the new homeowners opted for traditional Victorian style, in keeping with the heritage of the property. Original floorboards were restored as best possible throughout the ground-floor and Victorian fireplaces were either restored, where possible, or added for extra design flare.

With both the investor and buyers in agreement with how the property should look and be purchased, both parties were able benefit from the transaction. Traditionally, a property would have to be marketed and then the legal process completed, which could take a couple of months. However, on this occasion, the buyer carried out the legal process whilst the property was being refurbished, which allowed for a swift exchange of contracts once the property was completed. This meant that the investor was able to receive his return on investment as soon as the property was finished.
