Which option fits your home?

Empty or inherited property

A house standing empty can be renovated faster because every room is free to work in at once. If it has been empty for two years or more, a reduced VAT rate may apply where VAT is charged. Empty houses often need extra checks for frost damage to pipes, damp and security before work starts.

Renovation with layout changes

Adds structural work such as knocking the kitchen and dining room together, moving a bathroom, or forming an en-suite. These changes need structural calculations and Building Regulations approval and are designed before anything else is ordered, because they decide where pipes, cables and lights go in every room affected.
