BNS believes in our clients having the facility to be in control of their development. We ensure that the general day to day maintenance of our portfolio is kept, as far as possible, in-house.
Keeping things in-house not only reduces costs but ensures that standards are kept to the highest possible level. Where we cannot use our in-house expertise, we have built incomparable relationships with contractors over the years who include cleaners, gardeners, electricians, plumbers and builders.
Through regularly working with BNS, these contractors have developed their approach to match our exacting standards.
We ensure that any major work is administered with attention to detail. This includes sourcing multiple quotes in order to obtain the most cost effective and appropriate price for the job in hand.
During this project we converted a property into an HMO (house of multiple occupancy). It was a full refurb job, so there was a lot to get through, and we handled everything from start to finish.
The kitchen and bathroom both needed a total overhaul, so we ripped out the old ones and put in brand new fittings.
After that, we tackled the first and second fix, making sure everything was lined up properly before moving onto the boiler and electrics, which also got a full upgrade.
Once all that was in place, we focused on the plastering, carpentry, and tiling. It’s the kind of detail work that really pulls everything together, making sure the place not only works but looks good too.
Finally, we gave it a fresh coat of paint and got the whole property decorated, ready for new tenants.
It was a hands-on project, and by taking care of every part, we were able to get the property up to HMO standards.
