How does a plywood ramp and weak wooden surround comply with building regulations? A urinal and sinks in an accessible toilet should have grab rails either side, and the loo is too close to the wall. Door handles are not accessibility standards. Distress cords are a requirement for accessible loos. Florescent lights are not up to lease standard for a public building and do not meet H&S standards in the corridors. In the kitchen why would you paint over broken tiles? What do the regulations say about fire alarm systems and smoke/heat detectors with false flammable dropped ceilings? What did the fire brigade have to say about the safety standards for the building, are bars allowed over the windows after the Manchester Woolworth fire?

Well done matt looks great and a big well done to your dad and all is pals “ happy days 👍👍👍👍

Really like the black ceilings, top of walls and pipes/radiators. Makes a feature of those nice old radiators. It's cool how you've modernised yet retained at the same time 👍

Webster Dictionary should add Matt as a synonym for overspending.

A double glazed window in the store room would look nicer and be more secure.

Hmm interesting,very interesting.

I can see a new line of merch… I massively over spent on this t-shirt, hoodie etc!

I’ll never underestimate barbers from watching this. Such a subtle thing I’ve never really noticed. Great video Mat, I think the property is done just to the right standard, not too little nor too much

Your intro theme music really does sound like it should be played in a shop on a separate screen playing adverts

Absolutely incredible, also amazing for the community around it.

That was a big job redoing the top courses of brick, probably undermined by gradual water ingress over many years. You have a great team within your family & friends, the funds to follow through, the foresight and entrepreneurial spirit to forge forward. Well done, young man, well done.

Hey there I'm finally going to buy white paint to paint my rented room and then pay the painter.i have also known my dad has found me and recognises me now.i have had new windows put in my rented house.Azra has got her room wallpapered and now it looks much better.

On the outside ramp I would move the fencing out a little bit. Wheelchairs with a limited turning circle may struggle a little :)

Great stuff your an inspiration love the just do it attitude 🎉

All that hard work you haven’t done looks great !😂😂 Great investment !

Well done!

Regardless of any 'bumps in the road' you have encountered in this project it is, literally, inspirational. Well done . . . . . .

Good of you to think of others nice one 👍 8:07

Is there any end to this young man's abilities! Well done.

Hi--Have enjoyed looking at your updates on your properties and it is interesting seeing the difference between decorating in the UK style v. USA. Over here, we are using more warm neutrals and less of the blue/grey. Our lighting and bath fixtures are generally kind of an updated version of what might have been there originally (though we would never want the separate cold and hot faucets). It's nice that you're rehabbing older properties that have fallen into disrepair but be careful not to strip all of the charm out of them.

Looks great Matt. Congrats on a 5 year lease, FRI I hope? 👀 also don’t miss out on claiming capital allowances as it’s a commercial building. 🎉

Great, I was wondering about this! This will work out well in the long run!

Looks a fantastic investment, think you’ll be a great landlord 👍

nice video, looking forward to the next one on the community centre, will be interested to find out about the charity that will be using the building as well

Looks great Matt, you have a heart of gold. You could have gone cheaper but you fix things properly. A great investment.

It looks better Matt but i'm really not keen on the obsession with black & grey. A nice pastel blue colour for all of the walls with gloss white skirting boards & woodwork would look more cheerful.

Always a relaxed conversational style to your presentation which makes for great viewing. Thanks for the update.

Got a good building there despite the cost to decorate it to a good standard. It's going to be rented to a nice charity you know it's going to be in good hands and that they're doing good work and you're making a nice profit from it. Everybody's a winner.

Just a small point, plumbers do bathrooms not heating boilers. Heating engineers do heating systems 🙂

That looks quite tidy! I would have preferred drop ceilings everywhere I think, but it might not matter to the people renting it

Matt you have done yourself proud. Well done 👏

I’m liking the black around the ceiling! All coming together. Can’t wait to see the finished result 😃

Always had great potential ...nice investment....black ceilings and radiators spot on . Well done !

Looking good, clever retro renovation. Happy tenants stay longer, less expensive than being empty. Another quality product is being delivered to the marketplace. Cracking job again.

i love watching your channel its infact my favourite property channel with your high qulaity videos found this from your main

Looking nice Matt , knew it would go over budget , it's a big place that needed work , well look forward to the next video on it , all the best 👍

It has come together well! And already rented out! 👍👍👍👍👍

The black ceiling was an awesome idea.

Looks great - Thank you 👍👍

Having good team of builders is invaluable

Well done 👏, think your tenant will be pleased with all that has been done....😚👍

No stamp duty is payable on commercial property! I did mention this previously

Good vid matt you always seem to make your videos very interesting

Love the black ceilings/radiators/skirting. Grey is perfect for an industrial building. Lucky tenant 🙏

Looking really good, the ceiling is a great idea.

Great vid

Looks really smart Matt. Really enjoying these videos please keep them coming weekly

Great job, a lot of resteraunts, coffee shops etc will put white wire crisscross at the black ceiling paint to trick the eye and brain into thinking that it has tiles. It just confuses the focus for presentation and a lot cheaper than an actual ceiling or expensive repairs 😉

Brilliant 👏 looks so much better 👏

The legend and his property series.

Great job so far well done.

Good video. Trying to think of an alternative to my a6 avant. Like that Mercedes

Looks great Matt, love watching your videos

Well done Matt or should I say Dad bless him

Looking forward to seeing the end result

Not sure about the urinal, looks like it’s just been plonked there. Perhaps remove it and put up a full length mirror with a black frame??

Looks great matt like the black ceilings and radiators seems to be going great look forward to a later update 👍

Thumbs up if you wanna see Matt in a high vis 😅😮

Great buy, and great work. Well done got another great video 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent work and what a wise plan with this type of rental market avoiding the pitfalls of domestic rentals...

Absolutely lovely finish Matt,you've done a fantastic job. 👍

Always impressed by the glass half full attitude you have to all you do. Love to see the end result, but seems to be going well.

hard work all round, again goodwork dad.

Nice work and thanks for the update, was looking forward to seeing this.

Lovely job once again. 🤌

Very inspiring. I think the fact you've already got a Charity prepared to sign a 5 year lease is a good reflection on your vision. Hopefully they will take it for another 5 years at the end of the lease but 8 or 9% is a pretty good return. It might be worth getting it revalued once works are completed and ready to lease, wouldn't surprise me to see it around the £150 mark against your initial £90. Very impressive.

Looks amazing, that will be a great office for the new tenant

cant wait for the end result!

Those black ceilings are an amazing, lovely work you've done

Well done I'm glad that it's working out for you and you have got a tenant. Onto the next one now Matt

Love your work 👍

Looking good Matt..👍🏻

Your Dad seems a bit of a property developers dream 👍🏻

Looking good. You've really got plenty of good ideas to make the most of it. Well done so far.

You have been very lucky to rent that building quickly for a very good return. I thought that might be the most difficult part of the process, as it hasn't got car parking. But you have proved me wrong. You are also very lucky to have several relatives who are building tradesmen. I've never had relatives in the building trades so it has taken me a while to gather tradesmen that I trust.

looking forward to this one matt

What a difference, well done, Matt! Your costs seem reasonable to me, especially given the purchase price so a good asset in the portfolio!

Matt i know you’ve over spent for what it is but because you have now multiple decent income streams coming in. You sort of have an advantage because you have the finance (seem to anyway 😂)to keep pushing to finish so then you can get a tenant in. And as James Sinclair says commercial property is very tax efficient. I say all this even tho you got tons of money in car stock and other deals 🤣 but I’m happy to see another building restored reminds me of a youth centre that was by me. That MGU I beauty never gets old 😍

Coming on a treat.

Well done.

Great job! Looks stylish! 👍🔝

Not convinced that the marine ply will last, you may need more sockets for IT equipment, etc, and that rear area still should be tarmaced for parking. Well done for sticking with it though and finding a tenant.

Looks great 👍

Awesome, love the black rads! ... although the black ceiling, not so much. Each to their own though, keep up the good work! ^^

Good job

Looks great, good tenant to on nice long lease.

New number plates a service and a check by house vertical could increase the rent two fold. Sorry Matt I couldn't resist it

Nice work and if your doing things such as an office space that the tenant requires, jobs a good un 👍🏾

Looks great buddy

😁 Came out really good, the new tenants should be happy for a few years. Would have been good to see more of the "before" pictures to see the contrast. Wonderful.

well on the way with the transformation. Great you have secured a tenant already. Does the double gates in the yard give access for say staff parking? Bonus if so as the street parking looks a limited. Goes to show that a well constructed building can have a long and useful life. If you're doing structural work, can't skimp on a Proper Job.

Disclosure: Matt’s barber is actually an A+ Architect who Matt keeps taking inspiration from without paying him for architectural consultancy and just pays for hair cuts.

Seems ages since you first bought this one, but I'm enjoying going on the journey with you for all of these. Looking forward to seeing it finished, would be good to hear the details on what's in the contract and rental price etc

Looks like electrics need a upgrade C/unit very old

As a designer, I genuinely can't express how much I dislike the black radiators and the black accents around the windows. Warm peachy white interior paint with nice tiles, wooden appliances, huge artificial plants and beautiful lights would've made this place look so much more modern and aesthetically pleasing 😔 Should've outsourced the interior design on this one mate

Good job Matt :)

Top job 👍, dads are very usfull and other trades they make it all happen . Unfortunately it still cost money your a trooper kid 👌

Looks great matt 👍

Looking good 🎉

It would be good, if you've not done it already (I may have missed it 😒) to show a plan of the building to get an idea of size, layout and where everything is. What's happening with the garden - no vehicle access?? Is it residential use or commercial ?? Your pal bought it ? so it's not yours, you are just doing the work, or have you invested in it as well ? Budgets ALWAYS go over 😀😀😀 (think of a number - double it 🥺)
