The glamorous side of property development...
You pull up the carpets expecting a straightforward renovation, only to discover dry rot and woodworm hiding underneath.
Before that, you've already spent hours stripping layers of old wallpaper, uncovering cracks, blown plaster, and years of previous repairs that nobody knew were there.
It's one of the realities of developing property that doesn't always make it onto social media.
No matter how much due diligence you do, once you start opening up a building, unexpected issues can appear.
Fortunately, we always allow for a contingency fund on our projects to cover unforeseen problems like these. It's not the most exciting part of development, but it's one of the most important.
Challenges like this can impact budgets and timelines, but having the right plan in place means they can be dealt with properly without derailing the project.
Now it's time to get the issues sorted and keep pushing the project forward. That's property development in the real world. 💪🏠
