👻 Unexpected maintenance request in Exeter today…

We’re used to the usual reports from student properties…

• Loose door handles
• Dripping taps
• Mystery stains that nobody admits to
• Smoke alarms with mysteriously missing batteries

…but this one is a new one for us..

“Also need the ghost clearance done in flat 2, as appears to be haunted.”

We inspected the photo and can confirm there does appear to be a suspicious floating figure in the window… so we’re adding a new service to the Lagom list:

🔧 Plumbing
🔧 Carpentry
🔧 Property maintenance
👻 Paranormal eviction services

Don’t worry Exeter — Lagom Property Solutions now handles ghosts as well.

Call-out fee applies.

Holy water charged at trade rates.

VAT may apply depending on how possessed the property is.

🇸🇪 Why our business is called Lagom

We often get asked where the name Lagom Property Solutions comes from.

In Sweden, “Lagom” means not too much, not too little — just enough.

It’s about balance.

Doing things properly without waste.

Fixing what can be fixed rather than replacing everything.

Making homes work well for the people living in them.

That mindset is a big part of how we approach our work.

Sometimes that means a simple repair.

Sometimes it’s a full refurbishment.

But the goal is always the same — the right solution, done properly.

Very… Lagom. 🇸🇪

🧱 It’s not all curtain poles and door hooks…

A little throwback to an extension project Harry worked on in Brixham a few months ago.

This was a solid brick and block extension, creating a brand new craft room and lobby area for a lovely couple. Always nice to see a project like this come together and turn an idea into a proper usable space in someone’s home.

While Lagom Property Solutions spends a lot of time looking after student rentals and managed properties, doing the day-to-day jobs like curtain poles, door hooks, repairs and maintenance…

…it’s a good reminder that when we say one-stop property solutions, we really do mean it.

From the small fixes to the bigger projects, we’re always happy to help our customers however we can 👍

✨ Emergency Sparkle Clean – Pinhoe ✨

Last-minute call this time!

After the inventory clerk flagged a few hairs in the bathroom and a slightly concerning stain on the toilet seat 😬, we were asked to step in and make sure everything was absolutely ready for the new tenants moving in.

No drama. No fuss. Just sorted ✅

🧽 Deep clean of bathroom
✨ Full sparkle finish throughout
🚪 Move-in ready standard
⏱️ Rapid turnaround

When you work with the best agents and landlords, expectations are high — and rightly so. The properties we look after are premium, and they deserve a premium finish every single time.

If you need reliable, last-minute support to protect your move-in standards, we’ve got you covered 👍

🛠️ Chest of Drawers Repair – Small Fix, Big Difference

This solid pine chest had a common issue — the drawer runners had failed, leaving the drawers dropping and sticking.

The unit itself?

Still sturdy. Still perfectly usable. Just needed the right fix 👍

🔧 Removed damaged runners
🪛 Upgraded to stronger, longer-lasting replacements
📏 Realigned drawers properly
✨ Smooth operation restored

No need to replace the whole unit when a sensible repair does the job properly.

Another example of the Lagom approach — not too much, not too little. Just what’s needed to make it work as it should.

If you’ve got tired furniture in a rental that’s structurally sound but letting the property down, we can usually bring it back to life.

✨ Lagom Approach – Not Too Much, Not Too Little ✨

Throwback to last year… one we completely forgot to post!

This student property kitchen was grim 😬

Broken flooring.
Damaged doors.
Worn trims.
Generally crying out for some TLC.

But here’s the thing…

The worktop and most of the units were perfectly serviceable 👍

So instead of ripping everything out and going for a full replacement, we took a more balanced approach.

🔧 Replaced kitchen doors & trims
🪵 Installed new hard-wearing vinyl flooring
🧽 Clean, tidy and presentable finish
💰 Sensible spend where it actually mattered

The result?

Fresh, durable, ready for the next tenants — without unnecessary cost.

That’s the Lagom way.

🚿 Quick Student Bathroom Freshen Up ✨

Out with the tired old surfaces…
In with clean, bright white speckled shower panels 🙌

This was a straightforward refresh to smarten the space up ready for the next tenants. The new panels are:

✅ Fresh & modern looking
✅ Easy to clean
✅ Fully waterproof
✅ Perfect for student lets

Sometimes it’s not about a full renovation — just a simple, practical upgrade that makes a big difference.

Out with the old, in with the new… we’re not blind to a good upgrade!

Today’s job — blind replacement in a rental property in Exeter.

The old ones had drawn their last curtain call…

They just couldn’t pull their weight anymore…

And frankly, the view on them was… ropey 🫣

So we stepped in, measured up, and gave the window a fresh new outlook on life. Clean lines, smooth action, no more wonky tilts or half-mast drama.

You could say the place is now looking… shade better 😌

Made to measure blinds, curtains, and cows- supplied and fitted! 📏📐

--------------

Oh — and while we’re talking interiors…

Here’s the crazy cow again 🐄🤣

Over the summer we were asked to pick up some “neutral, simple” wall art for a property.

Naturally… I chose the brightest, boldest, most chaotic cow I could find.

Did the agent know?
Absolutely not.

Did it make it into the property?
Yes.

Did it get rubber-stamped into the inventory booklet before anyone realised?
Also yes 😇

By the time anyone clocked it, it was officially documented and part of the décor history.

Still makes me chuckle every time I see it. Sometimes rentals need a bit of personality… even if it mooooves the goalposts slightly.

No job too small.
No art choice too questionable.
No blind spot too tricky.

Saturday morning clearance of a bin store at a block of flats in central Exeter after it had been fly-tipped.

Not just a couple of bits either… furniture, bags of who-knows-what, and the usual “someone else will deal with it” pile 🙄

We got it cleared, sorted and separated properly — as always:
♻️ Reuse where possible
🤝 Donate if suitable
🔧 Repurpose what we can
🚛 Responsible disposal for the rest

Fly-tipping might seem small, but for residents it’s messy, frustrating and unfair. A clean, safe bin store makes a huge difference to the feel of a building.

If you manage flats, student blocks or HMOs in Exeter and need reliable clearance or ongoing maintenance support, we’re here.

🕑 2am. Midnight oil officially burned. Job done.

When a property is vacant and the deadline is looming, all hours are fair game.

This was a full redecoration of a 2-bed flat in Exeter, along with a deep clean and a list of minor maintenance jobs to get it ready for the next occupants.

We won’t lie — this one fought us the whole way.
Nothing quite went to plan and it felt like everything was against us… but the end result is a massive improvement and absolutely worth the graft.

Another one turned around, another deadline met.
Now… sleep 😴

If you’ve got a vacant property and a tight turnaround, you know where we are 🇸🇪🇬🇧

A very busy Monday dealing with the aftermath of flooding incidents.

Our commercial dehumidifiers were pulled into service on two separate jobs, alongside our carpet blower, to help speed up drying and prevent further damage.

💧 Job 1:
A burst pipe in a kitchen at a university property.
Dehumidifiers and carpet blower deployed to assist with drying the affected carpeted areas.

💧 Job 2:
A flooded basement in Exeter, with a vac and dehumidifier installed while we carry out further assessments on the flooring and surrounding areas.

🚨 Dehumidifiers available to hire

We have commercial dehumidifiers available for emergency drying at £80 per week (inclusive of VAT).
Early drying is key to reducing long-term damage, mould risk and repair costs.

If you’ve got leaks, floods or water ingress — especially in vacant or student properties — get in touch early.
