The Brief

A dated flat with strong bones — and stronger rental potential.

The landlord wanted to reposition the property to attract long-term professional tenants — not a patch job, but a full rent-ready transformation that would command higher rent and lift long-term value.

They needed one point of contact, one price, one programme, and a finished flat they could hand straight to letting agents.

The Challenge

Building-wide plumbing issues surfaced mid-programme.

The problem

Pre-existing plumbing faults across the wider building risked derailing the refurbishment programme and delaying handover — outside our contracted scope, but directly affecting the flat.

How Carrington solved it

We coordinated directly with the building managers, aligned works with the wider repairs, and re-sequenced our programme so the client never had to chase anyone. Completion date protected.

The Result

Handed back rent-ready. Let within the week.
