Initially intended as a mid-term investment, our plan was to sell the property around 2020. However, despite market activity, the offers we received were only around £325,000 — which did not meet our expectations for growth or return.
Instead of settling, we decided to strategically invest in the property to unlock its hidden value.

After completing the works, we relaunched the property to the market.
In December 2021, we successfully sold 6 Quintus Close for £365,000 — a significant uplift compared to pre-renovation offers.
Profit Uplift After Renovation:
✅ +£40,000 higher sale price than pre-renovation offers
✅ ~20% uplift compared to initial purchase price
Strategic renovations and targeted improvements unlock true property potential.
By investing wisely into essential upgrades and enhancing livability and presentation, we turned a slow-moving asset into a profitable, desirable property — achieving a strong return even in a competitive market.
