Had an email from the couple who currently rent this featured apartment to say that they're buying a property so will be moving out in a month. Normally around this time of year we've already had a flurry of 'movers', tenants changing jobs, changing partners and changing property, but this year, so far, these are... Continue Reading →
Project Rev – kitchen in, bathrooms started…
It seems like ages ago when we started Rev but it's really only a matter of weeks, Team Moregeous have done amazingly well under Marcin's strict guidance to get this huge six bedroomed property stripped out, re-wired, re-plumbed and plastered in such a short time.

Normally my most heart-wrenching decisions are along the lines of which wall to take down, kitchen to fit or wallpaper to hang, so it was hardly surprising that last week's Grand Designs left...

22 minutes on the phone to a client today. I am realising that my world currently revolves around delightfully bonkers and quite loveable clients. I only asked one question "Would someone be able to take you to Ikea to look at those wardrobes?" 22 minutes later and I hadn't said a single further word, just the... Continue Reading →
