Interior Consultants
Our complimentary Interior Consultants/Sales service department is available if necessary and has proved indispensable in assisting clients in presenting their property to the market in the most enticing way.
Our team has considerable experience in property presentation and taking care of all the little things that never seem to get done but are so essential prior to a sale, whether arranging for windows to be cleaned, minor repairs, organising a professional clean or some redecoration.
We offer a wide range of additional services including transferring utilities into the purchaser’s name, removals, shipping home and abroad, auction and/or disposal of furniture and chattels, all levels of refurbishment and installation of security systems. Everything to assist when moving house.
Whilst our interior consultantancy service is complimentary, suppliers’ costs are chargeable and will be agreed with you prior to any work commencing.
A Recent Project
We recently advised a client on the refurbishment of an un-modernised flat in Chelsea. The flat was purchased with the intention of modernising prior to resale. The works needed to be completed quickly and within a sensible budget, with a theme designed to attract maximum interest from potential buyers. We advised the client on the most suitable layout for the flat including the repositioning of internal walls, location of electrics, plumbing, lighting, the style of decoration and the kind of finish appropriate.
We introduced a reliable builder and in this instance the client was happy to deal with the builders directly. We kept in close contact to ensure the builders were following the instructions correctly with the aim of achieving the desired finish. Once the building work was under way we advised on installing smart and classic kitchen and bathroom fittings, which would not date quickly. When the works were nearing completion we arranged for curtains and blinds to be fitted and finally rental furniture to be installed for show purposes.
Whilst most purchasers are wise to the idea of home-staging, installing rental furniture can be a very good way of demonstrating how the available space can be used. Once the works were complete, the furniture installed and after a thorough clean, the flat was marketed and attracted a buyer offering above the asking price within days.
The above information highlights the most popular services, which are available on a complimentary basis to all John D Wood & Co clients. To discuss your specific requirements, please contact the Interior Consultants/Sales Service Department on 020 7908 1564
