The Problem

Selling a property that needs work can be difficult

A tired, vacant or inherited property can attract lower offers because buyers factor refurbishment costs, time and risk into what they are prepared to pay.

01

Cost

Buyers price in the full cost of putting the property right — and they build in a margin for anything they cannot see yet. The deduction from your offer is rarely the same as the real cost of the work.

02

Time

Sourcing trades, agreeing schedules, managing a programme of works and holding the property through it all takes months of coordination — usually while the property earns nothing.

03

Risk

Uncertainty over what the works will uncover, what the finished property will be worth and how long it will take to sell all push cautious buyers toward lower, safer offers.

But there may be another option.

Transformation

See what's possible

Every project is different. Our refurbishment strategy is developed around the property’s condition, location, target market and potential sales outcome.

Estate agents

Are you an estate agent with a property that isn't selling?

Sometimes the issue isn’t the price — it’s the condition.

If a property needs significant refurbishment before buyers can see its potential, an assisted property sales strategy may provide another route.

You introduce the opportunity. We assess whether our model could help.

Professional introducers

We work with property professionals

  • Solicitors
  • Probate professionals
  • Estate agents
  • Surveyors
  • Mortgage brokers

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to fund the refurbishment myself?

Where appropriate, Oak House Living Spaces explores the funding and investment structure for the project. The arrangement for each property is agreed before any works begin.

We may be able to help if your property is inherited, vacant, tired, neglected, unmodernised or difficult to sell. Every property is individually assessed.

How is the property assessed?

We consider current market position, refurbishment requirements, estimated project costs, potential post-refurbishment value and the likely sales strategy. From that we develop an outline plan covering works, investment and route to sale.

Who manages the refurbishment?

SE6 Services delivers and manages the refurbishment programme and coordinates the transformation.

Who provides the funding?

No. No outcome is guaranteed. Property values, refurbishment costs, funding costs, selling costs and final returns all vary, and every project is individually assessed. If the numbers and circumstances don’t make sense, we’ll tell you.
