The Brent Brief
The landlord wanted the house back on the market quickly after the last tenancy, without cutting corners on the finish. Four priorities:
Light
Spotlights in every room in place of a single pendant.
Bathrooms
All three fully renovated with new tiles and bathroom furniture.
Ready to Let
Every small maintenance issue fixed, so the house lets without headaches later.
Flooring
New laminate throughout the house, with the kitchen floor retiled.
Brent Project Overview
A post tenancy refurbishment of a three bedroom house in Brent: spotlights in every room, three fully renovated bathrooms, new laminate flooring throughout with a retiled kitchen floor, maintenance repairs and a full painting and decorating package.
On a project like this, time is money. Every week the house sits empty is lost rent.
Every room was touched. The pendants came down and spotlights went in, each bathroom was taken back and finished with new tiles and new bathroom furniture, and the floors were relaid from the hallway through to the bedrooms. The small faults a tenanted house builds up were fixed along the way, so the next tenancy starts clean.

Refurbishing a Three Bedroom House Around a Reletting Date
The scope touched every room, so several trades were on site at once in a three bedroom house. The programme was set around the landlord's reletting date: electrics and spotlights first, then decoration, then flooring, then final fixtures, so no trade was waiting on another or damaging finished work.
The Finished Project at Brent
The house is brighter, clean and modern, with new floors, three new bathrooms and the maintenance list cleared, ready for tenants in three weeks, within the landlord's timeline.
Handed over in May 2023.
“As a landlord, time is money. YPS gave me a finish date, hit it, and handed the house back ready for the next tenants.”
