The owners of this stunning 3, 300 sq ft maisonette had been trying to sell their home through a local agent for over a year. There had been very few viewings and not a single offer had been submitted.

Blackman Investments arranged with the vendors to view the house and quickly gave some suggestions as to how to undertake measures to make this maisonette more appealing to potential buyers. We then advised them to allow us to make the following changes and provided a budget for the works:

• We assisted them in decluttering the whole property, from objects and photos to old furniture

• We replaced the dark leather sofas with beautiful furniture

• We replaced the tired rug under the dining table and various pieces of artwork

• We tidied the garden and jet-washed the patio

• We staged all 4 bedrooms with beautiful furniture, rugs, lamps and new bedding.

Outcome: Despite a tough market, we achieved a very strong sales price.

Sold for £4,775,000 – July 2026.

Having spent a total of £10,000 on all the works, the vendors were absolutely delighted with the outcome.
