Textbook Sourcing. Delivery. Design. Results

From back-to-brick to a 5* short-term let, this case study shows what’s possible when property sourcing, project management, and interior design are handled by one accountable team. The objective was to acquire an undervalued property, deliver a complex renovation correctly, and launch a premium short-stay asset designed to attract high-quality bookings and strong guest reviews.

The property had a home report of £300k and was marketed at £240,000. We secured the purchase at £205,000—£35,000 below the advertised price. From the outset, we identified clear potential for uplift through a combination of buying well, solving the underlying issues properly, improving the layout for short-term let demand, and finishing to a luxury standard that would stand out in the market.

This was not a cosmetic refurbishment. The renovation required pulling the property back to brick to reveal its true condition and allow works to be carried out comprehensively. Damp issues were present throughout, so full damp remediation formed a major part of the programme to protect the fabric of the building long-term. Structural walls also required rebuilding to restore integrity and ensure the property was safe and robust. To increase functionality and appeal for guests, we also added an extra bathroom—an upgrade that materially improves guest experience and the property’s competitiveness for premium stays.

Our team managed the entire process end-to-end. On the sourcing side, we handled opportunity selection and negotiation to secure the deal at the right price. Through project management, we controlled the scope, coordinated contractors, managed budgets and sequencing, and maintained quality throughout each stage of the renovation—from strip-out and remedials through to rebuild and final finishes. The total renovation investment was £150,000, delivered with a focus on long-term durability as well as high-end presentation.

With the build work complete, we transformed the property into a luxury short-term let through full interior design. Designing for short-stay performance means balancing aesthetic impact with practicality and resilience under frequent use. Every detail was planned to create a cohesive 5* feel: a consistent design concept across rooms, carefully selected finishes, a premium look that photographs beautifully, and a guest-ready standard that supports stronger reviews and repeat bookings.

The final result was a fully renovated and fully interior designed luxury property ready for the short-term let market, with a final valuation on completion of £450,000. With a total project cost of £355,000 (property purchase plus works), the uplift versus total cost was £95,000—demonstrating the value created through the combination of strategic acquisition, expert delivery, and design-led positioning.

For clients, this project is a clear example of what we deliver: sourcing opportunities with upside, managing complex refurbishments with control and accountability, and creating luxury short-term let interiors that perform commercially, not just visually. If you’re looking to replicate a transformation like this—buying well, renovating properly, and launching a premium short-term let asset—we can take you from deal to delivery to design under one roof.
