Lavey House Grand Union

For a professional landlord, snapping up a property in an up-and-coming area is just the start of the profit-making process. Getting it to stand out in a fast-moving and competitive market requires equal dedication. InStyle Direct were on hand to help with such a transformation, and the results speak volumes about our speed, skill, product and customer focus.

A tenancy was agreed upon with a software developer, who moved in on the 15th of April. This meant that within three weeks of buying the property, our client received £19,800 per year in rent. Even with the £4.18 psf service charge taken into consideration, a very healthy gross rental yield of 5% was achieved – extremely impressive for London.

An owner/landlord with an eye for detail and a desire to see a healthy return on a £363,000 investment, commissioned us to restyle and refurnish a one-bedroom apartment. Located in the exciting new West London development of Grand Union, the property needed to be stylish and inviting enough to attract immediate interest from high-quality tenants.

Led by designer/project manager, Ifrah, the team installed and styled our yellow gold package within 48 hours of completion. The installation also included window dressings and a statement feature wall using our makeover services. Ifrah’s design strategy revolved around a blue/mustard colour scheme that deftly trod a fine line between tasteful decadence and flashy excess. As a design choice, it was a masterstroke as the next five days saw two solid offers made.

InStyle Direct’s flair for design is a given. Our ability to help turn investment into profit in just a matter of days is the reason that landlords and developers continue to use our skill, products and services.
