Tungsten MG have converted 5 residential properties into a mix of 4-6 bed HMO’s so the conversion of a residential property in 2 x 1 bed flats was an exciting project to spear head for this property investor.
We had the power team to ensure the project was run smoothly and hassle free. The builders were able to give an accurate quote on the build cost, along with the Tungsten MG team and an architect we created plans for this conversion. Our builders and architect have worked together before so they know our objectives, time frames and budgets.
Once the build process was underway the investor was sent weekly updates and photos of the conversion. He stipulated at the start that he wanted to visit at the beginning and once the flats were ready to let – he is really hands off! We liaised with the council planning departments and STG to achieve sign off for the works such as the removal of the staircase, adding an external staircase, creating new entrances to each flat, re-configuring the internal layout and also advising us on the windows needed. We then had to manage the impact of Covid-19 on the utilities installation with the investor. We had to re-book the electrical, gas and water installs and then the connection with our chosen suppliers.
The letting agent was able to market the flats easily and let these within 2 weeks.
