This is a chart that outlines the figures and profits for
a number of properties that we have done. We will be adding to this
chart frequently. To find out more about each individual client
we have on this table scroll down and find their story using the
clients ref.
Many of our clients do not fit into this table as some do not have
valuations prior to using our service, some have rental properties,
and some do not sell their newly revamped properties as are so happy
with the results!

Case Studies
Every property is different and, as such, every client has different
needs. We do not have a blanket approach to preparing properties for sale.
We appraise each property on its own merits, and ensure that the individuality
of the property is maintained, whilst steps are taken to increase its
value.
St. John's Wood
Client Ref: JMB304
The Situation
Ground floor 3 bed apartment in St. John’s Wood – very scruffy, but with loads of potential. The owners (a busy banker and wife with new baby) were time poor and couldn’t make the most of their property without assistance. Additionally, their Hello Kitty-mad, Japanese lodger had turned their spare room into a shrine. It was barely possible to open her door. Hello Kitty had to go! |
 |
The Work
We persuaded the couple to give their lodger notice and then converted
the room into a
spacious, inviting guest room. We facilitated some serious clutter clearing:
throwing out, storing and re-organising. We also painted and redecorated
several rooms.
The Result
The property had previously been valued at £380,000. After ‘The
Final Touch’ had carried out works costing the client £2,528,
the property sold for £520,000 within two weeks.
Finsbury
Client Ref: JAH387
The Situation
This 2-bedroom flat went on the market in the summer. Autumn and winter
passed, and the one and only offer fell through. As the seasons whipped
by, the owner reclaimed more and more of the furniture for his new property,
leaving the old one looking empty and drab. Eventually the owner called
us in to see if we could help him to sell.
The Work
The first thing this flat needed was a thorough clean. We then revamped
it by re-decorating, and dressing; purchasing new items of furniture as
needed. The fully dressed, final product was achieved within three weeks.
The Result
This property had previously been unable to generate an offer even close
to its asking price of £280,000. After ‘The Final Touch’
had carried out works to the value of £8,570, the agents felt confident
to ask £325,000. It was sold for £309,000 within a matter
of weeks.
Bayswater
Client Ref: JGP107
The Situation
This bachelor was so busy working abroad we didn’t even meet him – it was no wonder he didn’t have time to prepare his property personally. This 2-bedroom maisonette in Notting Hill was extremely unkempt. Given it was only visited fleetingly by its owner between business trips, it also appeared quite unloved. The property search company, Garringtons, felt it needed attention prior to going on the market and put the client in touch with us.
The Work
This property needed a massive cleaning blitz – curtains and carpets were professionally cleaned, and every single nook and cranny was attended to individually.
The majority of the work was superficial: we replaced missing mosaic tiles; the hot and cold labels on taps; fixed light fittings; re-hung curtains, and repaired many other signs of ‘wear and tear’ throughout the property.
When dressing, we reassigned his junk room as a dining room, rearranged furniture, and supplied potted plants and flowers for the terrace. We also sourced numerous decorative accessories for the flat – particularly for the kitchen, which looked as though it had never been used. |
 |
The Result
The property had previously been valued at £450,000. After ‘The
Final Touch’ had carried out works to the value of £2,500,
the property was valued at £500,000. This property received two
offers within two days of being on the market – it sold for £512,000.
Camberwell
Client Ref: JJS462
The Situation
This small 1 bed flat was definitely in need of a facelift! Add to that
an inheritance, consisting of the entire contents of another house, and
we had some serious work on our hands. The one-woman owner had neither
the time nor the inclination to tackle the task alone.
The Work
We redecorated this property throughout and improved the overall presentation:
storage was organised for the superfluous items; new sofas and decorative
accessories were sourced and supplied. Minor repair works were also carried
out throughout.
The Result
The property had previously been valued at £145,000. After ‘The
Final Touch’ had carried out works to the value of £6,835,
the same agents valued it at £170,000. The sale completed at £165,000.
| Islington
Client Ref: JHG 241
The Situation
This successful estate agent had worked with ‘The
Final Touch’ before and had seen, for himself, how our work
increased property value and brought on quick sales. As a result,
he asked us to prepare his own unique loft style 3-bed house in
Islington. This was a very special property, which was immaculately
decorated; however the presentation needed some attention.
|
 |
The Work
After having it professionally cleaned, we cleared out some asset-masking clutter, rearranged the furniture and introduced warmth with paintings, plants, rugs, additional furniture and decorative accessories. The roof terrace was also dressed.
The Result
The property had previously been valued at £1,000,000. After ‘The Final Touch’ had carried out works to the value of £3,500, the property was valued at £1,295,000. The property sold for well over the asking price within 10 days of going on the market. |
Brixton
Client Ref: JSM293
The Situation
This 3-bedroom terraced house in Brixton had been rented out for several
years. Not only had it been subjected to extreme levels of wear and tear,
but it also had a damp problem, a moth problem and it smelt horrid!
The Work
The first step in this renovation project was to strip the entire property
from the inside out. We then knocked through the two ground floor receptions
into one lovely large reception, and installed a downstairs loo. We designed
and installed a new kitchen and bathroom, and converted the junk room
into a third bedroom. |
|
The entire property was redecorated and furnished: we painted, made and fitted new curtains, laid new carpets, hung new doors, and fitted new architraves, skirting boards and cornices. Finally we dressed and furnished the property.
The Result
This terraced house was initially valued at £242,000. The renovations works cost a total of £37,000. An offer of £345,000 was accepted after two weeks.
