Route Estates Property Renovation Services

We transform properties into modern, rental-ready spaces. While minor updates may suffice for newer builds, many of London’s Victorian, Edwardian, and period homes require full-scale refurbishment to meet current tenant expectations and regulatory standards.

From kitchen and bathroom upgrades to layout reconfigurations, our experienced team of handymen and builders provides end-to-end renovation solutions at very competitive prices.

We balance aesthetic improvement with return on investment. Serving landlords, investors, and homeowners, we offer:

Interior Finishes

High-standard plastering, flooring, lighting, and decorative finishes.

For landlords whose properties we manage, we offer to cover 50% of the renovation cost upfront and recover it through 12 monthly deductions from rental payments. This significantly improves affordability, particularly for properties in urgent need of modernisation.

Tailored, Cost-Effective Solutions

We provide clear pricing and flexible payment options, including instalment plans. Comprehensive refurbishments—including new kitchens, bathrooms, wiring, and finishes—start from approximately £20,000 (materials and labour included).

Our landlord clients consistently benefit from faster lettings and higher rental yields, with most renovated properties let shortly after completion.
