As a Property Developer & Investor; Good to see you refurbished it fully and up to a nice standard. The kitchen extractor could have gone across and out above the boiler, as most tenants forget or don’t know they have to change the sheets. Have a relationship with the tenants don’t leave it all to an agent. They won’t care about the place as much as you would yet charge you extortionate fees. Pls don’t max out the LTV to 75%+, that’s how ppl get stung in bad times as we’ve seen over the last few years. And possibly wait until end of the year when BoE rates start dropping.
I love how you created perfect befroom downstairs.. I would do the same, but not really sure about those 2 tiny ones upstairs... you won't fit anything there except beds.
Looking good. Bathroom looks great and I love how the large tiles are extended up. Bedroom 2 looks pretty small from the video but hard to tell before its furnished.
That's very true, but most are, I've had 3 landlords, 1 was brilliant, 1 I never saw and wasn't in long enough to need to any issues fixing and 1 terrible, repeatedly found him in my flat with zero notice, once rummaging throughout my wardrobe, and he had the audacity to say I was in the wrong for (legally because he broke the contract and law) withholding rent until my tenancy ended.
If I was in your position I would be doing the exact same thing. We live in times where people need money and housing so looking after yourself financially and giving someone a nice home is a win win
I’m an Aerospace engineer.. Well done for addressing those housing comments. I was aghast when you mentioned a HMO, as they truly are destroying the rental market. I’m a renter, I’ve had a mortgage and then I got divorced, and I’ve rented for the last 5 years. I’m pretty sure you’ll be a great landlord, and moving those tenants probably increased their health! Keep the videos coming, I’m really enjoying them. I almost moved in January, but I wasn’t happy with the agents managing the property, and I currently have a great relationship with my landlady, so be hands on with your new tenants if you can.
Great job! You've positively impacted the community and increased the housing values in the area. Now you have the funds to embark on more projects and try new things. It would be beneficial to provide a rough estimate of the costs involved, including the purchase price, the amount spent on improvements, and the final value of the property after completion.
Respect for addressing the negative comments first because they were all things I was thinking (about landlordism and the effect on the housing market for aspiring owner occupiers).
Respect you answering the questions 👍🏼. It's amusing how your eagle eyes are so well trained, they spotted that door before your brain could even process it. 😂
@@Y14nny Sorry mate I disagree, you are doing a fantastic job why even bother replying to the negativity? I wouldn’t give them the time of day! Ps love the property you’ve really maximised the potential. As a property investor myself I would love to hear the figures so hoping you get to that on one of the later videos. ATB 🤙🏼
Most Landlords do a great job. This is example of best practice. Quality housing is essential. Landlords take a lot of risk for a small return. You should give a breakdown of costs and projected income. I rent a property and tax / maintenance means the take home is about 52% of earnings. Potentially I would get a better return in stocks and shares.
Massive improvement,would like to see it with beds in the rooms as it blows my mind that down south some people live in some really small portioned houses 👍🏻
Awesome one man at least unlike my landlord she doesn't care if the cables of internet are new etc.. Looks like you care about re wiring etc. Nice to see that. I went to ask her about fiber and even though we do have she said no... lol Can I ask out of curiosity what kind of internet speeds could we be looking in the area? PS. She actually has two 4 tenants in me my gf and another couple. The other couple has no internet at all in the day. I pay for a 100down and 10up and get 45down and 10 up (I know it's Greek speeds..). That's why I asked about the speed over there.
Key thing to look at is getting a better EPC rating. However getting rid of al the water ingress is key and internal or external wall insulation is a MUST. This certainly helps with mould issues and using less energy.
Defo need to get that other fence done Yan will make that garden look so much better I know it may not be your responsibility but will greatly help the look of the property, looks great tho (comercial and property maintenance engineer for 10 years)
Loveeeeeee this video - highlights how much most landlords have to pay to get things up to regs... Landlords get so much sh*t at the moment... This highlights the time, money and effort. Thanks Yanni
That cooker hood should be vented out the wall using ducting above the units. A small (100mm) intake vent should be placed close to the floor to allow the extracted air to be replaced with fresh air. Charcoal filters only reduce cooking smells, the humidity will still be in the room which will result in damp and mould. Opening windows is never going to work with morden insulation requirements, the building regs need to be updated to include heat recovery air handling units with morden insulation levels.
Interesting series, and I have enjoyed both episodes. Glad you spotted that door, but I am struggling to understand why you would fit a door with such and imperfection, were they hoping you would not spot it and they would get away with it? Also as others have said, although its not your boundary fence, changing that other fence would be a good idea.
Hi Yanni, would be interesting to see a price breakdown of how much it costs to do something like this and what type of loans are available for people who would like to do this for their own properties. Great content, thanks.
Yanni in glad your able to speak on the hate. Most people try to see how they can spend less instead of making more. Your doing good on you and your family investments are so important it’s so cool your doing this.
@y14nny I am sure that borough is an article 4 area and I am sure there will be room size regs for HMO"s round there. I can't see any smoke alarms or fire liners in your project if you are making it a HMO
I hate how nobody comments about the tenants not looking after the place they live in. I mean look at the bathroom. they didn’t seem to have ever really clean it! So yes they are bad landlords but a lot of bad tenants as well…. Yanni don’t listen to the kumbayah just stupid theories no real life solutions people. You are doing a great thing!
It’s always the landlords faults pal. It’s what happens when people feel entitled in the uk rather than actually realising I graft like a nutter to be able to be in this position.
Absolutely love these changes. As a new interior designer it’s interesting to see the phycology behind the owners. Good team is key. Yann you getting any others?
keep making these maybe price the houses and compare them to the prices of certain cars etc to bring in the car element to it, but keep making these vids they are informative and fun.
Real Estate Agent (Re/Max South Africa) here: Quint and cozy, love the property Yianni. I think you are making a great investment and maximising the space - be careful of over investing but it does not look like you did. A loft might be a slight over investment but I don't know the area so I would not know what the ceiling is for this particular townhouse. Lovely Yianni!
Would love to be mentored by Yianni. Your ethos and mindset is top tier and these videos are so insightful. Thanks for giving us a look in on the process
great update, you seem to be finishing it to a higher standard than necessary for council housing which is lovely for the future tenets. Yes some of the rooms are small but it's tough for larger families to find housing so it's for the best to create more availability.
@@Y14nny LOL! Yanni acting like hes done this purely so the price of each room is lower and its therefore more affordable for people!!! That is absolutely not the case - you split the rooms up so you could maximise how much revenue you get. Nothing wrong with that - just dont act as if your 1st intentions are for the tenants when infact they are for your pocket.
I don't see anything ethically wrong with this property as the negative comments suggest. Yianni is turning a 2 bed in to a 4 bed. Which means more availability and lower prices per room.
And more people are stuck in the same cycle of living in an HMO. Spending fortunes renting just a room and making someone else more wealthy. Why not work with the local council and try to get people who are working and earning a decent salary but aren't able to save and get them into the scheme to buy the home.
Well spotted yanni with the door, when you work in the car industry, detailing, wrapping things along those lines, you end up with a great eye for detail 👍🏼 I can spot very small details a mile away and sometimes it horrible, because all I see in live is negative things wrong with everything 😂
I couldn’t understand why someone would go to the hassle of hanging the door knowing it was warped in the first place. Should have gone back to the supplier before wasting any time on it 🤔
With experience doing renovations in Malaysia.. im amazed t how simple some things seem to refurbish overseas.. dont get me wrong, the work is still hard obviously, but the steps seem simple..
You’re just like me Yianni ya can’t hold back from negative comments 😂fair play to ya bro! See you at Croft circuit in May i hope you bring the new Lambo 🔥
Some of those rooms are looking pretty tiny. Once a bed goes in them, there isn't gonna be any room for anything else. What about a closet or some draws to put your clothes in, you know the bedroom essentials. Where will that fit in!
I’m a landlord, well done Yanni, glad you went with your gut feeling and us landlords got to take it on the chin pal. I hate a nice portfolio and I may do you for your builders.
possible silly question how did you deal with the bad mold/damp situation also if it is through the council, my family member is having seriosuly bad mold issues and cant get much help so jsut curious thanks and progress/revamp looks great
What are your thoughts on UK prohibiting mass scale of high rise buildings in favor of preserving the architecture? Personally I find it to be a negative since it artificially creates scarcity of usable space per property and that contributes to the housing crisis. Less vertical space = less space for housing in general. UK architecture is great and preservation efforts have been very good but when it is negatively impacting people's basic necessities like that, I don't think it is worth it. Curious to hear your thoughts

Interest rates won’t come down until mid 2025 at the earliest.
We are in a bad time now so if the numbers work now at 75% ltv why wouldnt u go to it as long as the monthly is payed with some cash flow.?.
@@ceo3708 you can with a plume kit
@ceo3708 was just about to say that, lmao
It would be epic if you have Daniel come and do "Rate my property" once this is completed. I can't wait for this project to finish
Charcoal filters are useless mate, plenty of room there to vent it…. From a kitchen fitter👍🏼 plus tenants are never gonna change the filters in them
i dont think its the tenants job to change the filters no that would fall on the lanlord idk tho cud be wrong
I love how you created perfect befroom downstairs.. I would do the same, but not really sure about those 2 tiny ones upstairs... you won't fit anything there except beds.
What I was thinking too. Especially if it’s gonna be a HMO, will they be regulation size? Not sure..

Great to see the renovation coming together. Are you doing a video regarding financial figures on the project?
Yes we are.
Awsome renovation, and buzzin its not a hmo. Nice (good condition) family homes are needed!

Can't believe he actually addressed my question, Good answer. And a good content overall.
Love seeing property videos. Youve transformed this into a nice home that a renter would be proud to call home.
Yeah but the some entitled people in the comment section want more 😂

Can you tell us at the end how much everything costs Yianni? Like break down room by room etc? Would be really interesting!
Flooring down before the painters have even applied a mist coat? Just made the painters job 10x harder.

I don’t know about that extraction fan situation, Asians and ethnic people will really need a proper one no filter 🤣
Attack would be good for small office/ storage and possible an open up sliding balcony set up would be nice but planning would be hard

He answered my comment. Raaaas! But…Respect the responses - I think the steps taken are good all round
