Buying and renovating in one go
A home that is ready to live in at or below market value barely exists any more. A property to renovate does.
The gain is in the work you have done yourself
In today's market, buying a turn-key home at or below market value is almost impossible. Everyone wants the same thing: ready to move into, nothing to do. That is exactly why you pay a premium for it.
Buying a property to renovate turns that sum around. The work adds considerable value, which pays off when you sell later. On top of that you fit out the home entirely to your own taste, rather than inheriting the previous owner's choices.
The problem is rarely the idea; it is the execution. Finding a contractor who is available, does good work and charges a fair price is a challenge in itself. That is why we set up the renovation company Labelbewust.
How the buying process worksWhat makes our approach different
Purchase and renovation sit in the same hands here. That is unusual in this trade, and it spares you the familiar friction between parties pointing at each other.
A sharp purchase price
We make sure you buy the property at a good price, with the renovation costs already factored in.
A seamless handover
Labelbewust is ready to start the day you get the keys. No months of waiting for a contractor.
One point of contact
The same person for the purchase and the renovation. You do not have to tell your story twice.
Costs clear in advance
You know what the work costs before you make an offer, not after.
From offer to completion
Our approach means you do not have to worry about finding a contractor, coordinating the work or unexpected costs. We guide you through the whole process, from the purchase to the final handover.
In practice that means we assess the cost of the work during the viewing, we factor it into the offer, and the moment you have the keys the work begins. Along the way you have one point of contact for both the estate agency side and the building side.

No. We set the company up because our clients kept running into the same problem, but you are free to choose a different contractor.
We make a reasoned estimate based on what we see. A firm price needs a proper survey, but the estimate is accurate enough to base an offer on.
In many cases yes. We work with mortgage advisers who have experience with this and involve them early in the process.
