July 2024
The sun is out and Foxhall is complete!
July has been a rollercoaster of emotions for us, from managing trade disagreements and incorrect material deliveries, unexpected weather changes and hiccups along the way with the garden, it certainly has been a busy month!
Despite all that we are still standing and have a lovely house to show for it! The biggest change by far that went on this month would be the decorating and the gardening.
The transformation that the garden has undergone is incredible. Although we opted for only turfing a 1/4 of the garden it seems that it was the right decision to make. This allows us to provide early tenants with immediate grass to use whilst slow growing the rest of it out with seed, both saving us time but still providing the vision for what the garden can offer on viewings.
The feedback from trades, neighbours and tenants has been extremely positive! Maybe they are all just being nice, however we really feel like we have made something great with this property, and cannot wait for a family to enjoy it moving forward!
The only thing we are now waiting on is building control sign off and then the property has all safety checks and rental checks which allow us to get a tenant in! This being said we have already started having viewings. I believe that the property was listed on Tuesday 30th July and we had 2 informal viewings and offers by Wednesday evening for over £100 pcm more than we were expecting! We are now going through the process of credit checks etc, however it seems that we might be able to get a tenant in and set up mid to late August!

Company changes
As a company we often have sit down meetings to discuss the longevity of the company and what the best way for us to do that is.
Ultimately we have decided to move our next 3 years of investment slightly more north, around the East Midlands area. This will allow us to generate greater ROI on our investments, whilst giving us a much broader scope for Networking and sourcing alike.
As a result of this we are revisiting old connections and undertaking more training surrounding planning laws and ensuring we are all legally compliant for any opportunities that come our way!
This months update has been a short one we know, however we hope it is in preparation for some really exciting months to come, with lots of viewings and offers going on!
The first year and a half has been a slow burn for us, however now we have some movement we are going to hit the ground running in the next 3 - 5 years, so watch this space!
