Property refurbishment and renovation can encompass a wide range of works, tailored to the property’s use. Ensuring your property is presented well, looking modern and fresh is essential, especially if you are letting your property as a landlord on the rental market.
From central heating systems installation, new kitchens and bathrooms, to furniture delivery, curtain hanging and bed making, our team can assist in preparing your property for the rental or sales market, or refurbish your home to create a modern living space.
We maintain longstanding relationships with excellent contractors who often provide us with discounted rates for work instructed through us. For assistance with presenting your property for the Edinburgh / East Lothian property market, our experienced staff will spend time at your property dressing beds, arranging cushions, and hanging pictures to increase the appeal for prospective tenants or buyers.

When preparing to present a home on the property market, the interior decor should be neutral, a blank canvas that new occupants can personalise themselves to their own tastes, with enough detail to make it appealing and photograph well. For landlords looking to refurbish properties, presenting a neutral decor allows tenants to use a much wider range of personal furnishings without requiring further decoration.
If you or a family member are living or have lived in the property, it is much more difficult to be objective about what will appeal to potential tenants or buyers and it is worth getting advice from someone not personally involved. Our team of property renovation experts can provide you with tailored advice on what property refurbishments would be the most beneficial and suitable for your home.
Before presenting properties on the market, it is also worth decluttering, so that the property can be clearly seen in its best state. Property improvements should be reflective of the value of the property itself so that your investment can be recovered when the property is sold or rented.
When it comes to marketing a property effectively, making a positive first impression to potential tenants or home buyers is a key objective. Our team can help you with a number of property refurbishments and renovations that you may wish to consider:
Property redecoration – As the first thing viewers will see when visiting your property, repainting a front door or installing new door ironmongery may give a good first impression and be worth the outlay if the internal presentation is already prepared.
Replacing fencing and tidying the garden area – Outdoor space is a valuable commodity to the majority of potential home buyers and tenants. Renovations such as mending and painting fences, planting and potting flowers, or highlighting garden features, will improve first impressions and show the level of care that has gone into maintaining the property.
Re-carpeting or renovating wooden floors – Ensure comfort and practically for viewers of your property. Clean, neutral carpets will make the property feel larger and fresher and provide a sense of warmth and cosiness. For areas with more utility such as kitchens and bathrooms, smooth wooden, tiled or laminate floors provide durable, easy to clean and visually appealing options for presentation on the property market
For more substantial property improvements and renovations beyond market presentation, our team can also assist with a wide variety of property upgrades:
Gas central heating – A staple of modern homes, this property feature is usually much more attractive to potential tenants or home purchasers than older and often more expensive electric heating systems.
Kitchen replacement – Modern kitchens provide significant visual appeal to property viewers. Our team can help you replace an entire kitchen, though in some instances where the unit carcases are in good condition, replacement doors may suffice. We can advise you on what property refurbishments would be ideal for you, based on your needs and budget.
Bathroom replacement – Showers are now considered essential for modern bathrooms, with walk-in showers becoming increasingly popular. Bathrooms are often overlooked for renovation, and older, dated bathroom suites can be extremely off putting to tenants and home buyers alike, so consider even a light refurbishment to improve the presentation of your property.
