Property Improvements

This flat needed total modernisation to make it suitable for the new owner to live in and sell in a few years.
Do you wish you could move house but for whatever reason you can’t?
Lots of us are now in the position of not being able to move house, even though we’d like to. Maybe you’ve had another baby, or you’ve started to work from home; what you need from your home has changed. Improving the house you live in is a great way of getting a better home without the huge expense of buying a new house, and with much less hassle! You might be considering an extension, a new kitchen or bathroom, or you might be at a loss to see how you could make your home work better for you right now. Whatever your situation, I can offer expert guidance and management to take your ideas and turn them into fabulous reality, saving you time and stress, keeping you from losing your mind or your bank balance.
I like to challenge the traditional use of space and provide alternative uses for rooms that may not suit everyone, but are perfect for making your house really work as a home for you, right now. I have a good eye for colour and arrangement, and I really like to get into the detail of how you interact with your home so that I can suggest changes that could make a radical improvement to your enjoyment and comfort at home.

No-one wanted to rent the flat with this kitchen until I’d finished with it, then they fought over it!
Do you own a house that needs work but you don’t have the time or skills to get it done?
You may have inherited a house that needs modernising, or own a rental property that needs some maintenance or overhaul work doing, but you’ve just not got the time to sort it out yourself. Perhaps the house is just too far away from you for it to be feasible for you to manage.
I have managed many home improvement projects including full modernisations, so whether you want a small change or a total overhaul, I’m your girl. I know how to manage tradespeople to get the best out of them, and I’m there to shield you from the inevitable stress that is part and parcel of every house project.
Available services:
- Project Management of improvement work – all you have to do is agree the desired result and the budget, and I’ll take care of the rest!
- Space Usage Analysis and suggestions for improvement – you’d be surprised how different your home life could be if we just play with some of the traditional room allocations!
- Interior Design assistance – if you need help choosing a colour scheme or putting a design together, I’m the non-scary kind of interiors person! I like rooms that still look like homes, but I can help you to make them feel more ‘designed’, often re-using items you’ve already got.
