The Challenge

Cleveland Gardens, situated in the sought-after W2 area of Westminster, was not garnering the market attention anticipated despite its prime location. The existing 4-bedroom lateral apartment was outdated and failed to meet the evolving needs of the target market, resulting in stagnant rental income and prolonged vacancy periods. The portfolio landlord sought a strategic refurbishment to enhance the property’s appeal and significantly boost its rental yield.

The Approach

InStyle Direct undertook a comprehensive refurbishment project aimed at transforming the dated apartment into a modern, highly desirable living space. Our team focused on optimising the layout and enhancing key features to attract discerning tenants. Key steps included:

  • Reconfiguring Layout: Converted the original 4-bedroom apartment into a more spacious and functional 3-bedroom unit, prioritising a larger master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom.
  • Contemporary Staircase: Replaced the outdated block staircase with a sleek, contemporary spiral staircase, adding a modern touch and improving space utilisation.
  • Ironmongery Upgrades: Updated the ironmongery on windows and doors to enhance durability and aesthetic appeal.
  • Modern Kitchen: Installed a fitted kitchen with spray-painted cupboards, blending functionality with modern design.
  • Bespoke Bathroom: Crafted bespoke furniture for a fully fitted bathroom featuring large marble Corian wall tiles for a luxurious feel.

  • Walkway Redesign: Redesigned the walkway cupboard and replaced fussy, dated wall panelling with upgraded contemporary versions.
  • Painting and Wallpapering: Applied new paint and wallpaper throughout to create a fresh and cohesive look, restoring the Art Deco apartment to its former stucco Bayswater glory while incorporating modern property benefits.

The Outcome

The refurbishment project at Cleveland Gardens was a resounding success. The strategic updates and modern design elements significantly increased the property’s rental appeal. The transformation resulted in the monthly rent soaring from £4,100 to £8,500, and the apartment was leased to the first interested viewer. The sleek spiral staircase, contemporary kitchen, and bespoke bathroom fixtures created a luxurious yet functional living space that perfectly catered to the needs of today’s tenants.

Key Results:

  • Increased Rental Income: Monthly rent doubled from £4,100 to £8,500.
  • Quick Lease-Up: The property was snapped up by the first viewer, demonstrating high market demand for the newly renovated property
  • Client Satisfaction: The landlord is highly satisfied with the results, leading to further refurbishment projects in the pipeline.
  • Enhanced Property Appeal: Modern design enhancements made the property stand out in a competitive market.
  • Return on Investment: Significant rental increases and reduced vacancy rates highlight the financial benefits of the refurbishment.
