The property investing industry is not a bed of roses. Refurbishment on this HMO project has fallen off track due to a number of mistakes the builder made and failed to rectify. We unfortunately had to sack the builder.
What do you do when such mistakes happen?
Walk with us through the property to see some of the problems that we need to rectify and how we are taking this project forward.

This is an amazing video, I learnt so much from this. Its a refreshing change to see where projects have gone wrong, the reasons why they have gone wrong and how to resolve the issue. You even showed how you may be able to get money back from the builder and how to move on. Thank you for this.

This was a great watch. So often do you see landlords speaking on the pros and of doing refurbs and never on the unfortunate events that occur in the process, particularly involving unreliable or incompetent builders. This video gives us some insight into the, somewhat inevitable, issues we may face as landlords. Great vid Saj👌🏾

@@TheSajHussain I can imagine the disappointment. Mine were individuals I’ve known for a very long time and trusted implicitly and they left us in a horrendous situation in the middle of winter with 2 kids under the age of 2 living there. Awful times and many many lessons learned which is the great thing about it. Glad you managed to get it sorted in the end.

@Nonegiven14582 Жыл бұрын

Unless it's a design and build project. The builder would simply be given instructions and drawings as to what to do. Which is what he's done. So none of this is his fault. if you want to hire an architect who does very little, or simply tells the builder what you want without details. That's all on you.

I learnt a lot from your videos, Thank you so much. I am a oversea investor of UK property since 2020. I am interesting in how to justify the quotation is reasonable. How to find a good contractor for our big scale renovation projects and small scale maintenance work. How to find a good project manager like Aidas to monitor the project on our behalf? Hope you are well.

Another great vlog, Saj. Is there a reluctance from another set of builders coming in to a job which is half finished? If an issue arises down the line how do you establish which builder is at fault?
