London’s architecture is widely recognised as being among the best in the world and a great many of the city’s properties act as fine examples of London’s heritage. The vast majority of central London houses are Georgian in origin and whilst these properties are stunning inside and out, they are not always the most efficient in modern terms.

Significant ground has been made in the field of construction and architecture since these London properties were built and as such many are out of step with contemporary practices for ensuring energy efficiency. Even London houses that have been renovated at some point in the past are in need of modernisation in order to make them more attractive to modern homeowners, both in an aesthetic sense and an environmental sense.

For property renovation, London is actually one of the leading cities in the world. If you own or are looking to purchase a Georgian property in the capital, then it is vital that you look into arranging for its modernisation if it has not recently been renovated. Taking this step could have a huge impact on your comfort in your London home as well as your carbon footprint.

How to renovate your London home and maximise return on your property

When thinking about your property and living arrangements in London, renovation and refurbishment are usually high on the agenda. Prospective and current property owners in London often think “How can I optimise return on this property in 5 or 10 years time when selling the property and make the best use of space in the meantime?” This is driven by the property owners’ desire to make the best of their time whilst living in the property as well as driven by the financial gain realised from their property investment.

Gordana Mandic comments “When considering a home renovation project, we usually advise property owners the best way to realise a return on that refurbishment and investment is to carry out the project a few years ahead of selling your property. This way, you tend to get the best of everything.” Gordana, a qualified Engineer of Architecture continues… “You enjoy the renovation long after all the home improvements are completed as well as immediately improving your lifestyle and well being. Your home becomes fresh and innovative and remains so. Much more appealing for prospective buyers when considering properties to buy in prime central London.”

Structural improvements to the fabric of the building and small but dramatic steps taken to improve the way space is used increase the value of your property as well as helping you realise more return on your property investment. When clients eventually decide to sell their property (as their primary residence or to realise an investment) they do so for a much higher price and yield, realising much more return on their investment than if they had chosen not to carry out the renovation at all.
