Ghoat is renting this property since early 2019 and continually tries to improve the quality of living in this house by providing high standard furniture and communal living space.
This four-bed property needed to be rented quickly as the market always slows down during the end of year holidays. Ghoat was able to make an offer a couple hours after viewing the property and move-in 5 days later, allowing a limited void period and more rental yield for the Landlord.

The property was unfurnished and Ghoat provided all necessary elements to market the property properly. The property also required an HMO licence, we managed both the application process and works required for the licence to be granted.
Landlord contacted us to have a wall installed to create an extra bedroom temporarily and remove the wall a few month later. The wall was installed and remove leaving the premises as they were initially.
Landlord contacted us as they needed a mandatory licence in the Hammersmith and Fulham borough. Having managed many HMO licences in the past we helped and the licence was granted, all mandatory works realised. Few details about the HMO license and the works involved: Despite a recurring cliché, HMO license can be realised with a really light amount of work. First of all, smoke detectors (or heat detector) have to be added to each non wet rooms (Kitchen, Living room and Bedroom are concerned, Toilet and Bathrooms are excluded). At GHOAT, we use most of the time wireless equipment with 10 years lithium battery (When council allows it) to avoid drilling and adding un-aesthetic trunkin. We also have to add emergency lights. Located on the escape route, they need to be wired to main electrical network. They are nowadays really discreet with a small green light showing into the ceiling. (Pictures below.) Finally, regarding doors, we have to fit a small self-closure item to make sure the doors close themselves. Once again, we use very discreet item and installation barely damaged your doors (Usually, couple of screws are enough). Regarding the doors themselves, there is a big cliché where landlords believe a fire door is the big ugly doors you can see in Hospital or School.
30 mins fire doors for residential HMO are very normal doors, with classic design. Eventually a bit thicker than usually, but nothing extravagant. Please note, most of the good quality doors in residential properties are already resistant to fire for 30 mins.
The garden and front of the house were neglected by the former tenant and the landlord requested a good clean up before their new tenants moved in
Landlord needed to isolate of the living room to create a home office. Our handyman added a small partition wall to close the room on one side and added a door on the other side creating a cosy and isolated office in an existing open space.
A leak started under the front building under the pavement with direct consequences to one the walls. We liaised with the council to fix the pavement, provided quotes and contractors to repair what was the landlord’s duty and managed the claim to the insurance, providing a full support and reactivity in an otherwise lengthy process.
