Still buying, still refurbishing, and now responsible for everything you kept

The point where a portfolio gets hard

• Certificates expire on the properties you think least about.
• Refurbishment costs across several properties are impossible to compare.
• Nobody can say which properties are actually carrying the portfolio.
• Every remortgage means rebuilding the same history again.

The portfolio route through BRICKS

1. 1Pipeline. Everything you are looking at, by stage, with the numbers attached.
2. 2Acquisition. Offer to completion with checklists, so nothing depends on a solicitor's chaser.
3. 3Projects. Each property's works as its own project with a budget.
4. 4Refurbishments. Scope, contractors and spend recorded the same way every time, so you can compare.
5. 5Compliance. EICR, gas, licensing and insurance dates with traffic lights across the whole portfolio.
6. 6Refinance. Cost and works history ready per property.
7. 7Portfolio overview. What you own, what it cost, what it is doing, on one wall.

One place to answer the awkward questions

What did that roof cost, when is the EICR due, which builder did the last kitchen. The answers already exist because the work was run in BRICKS rather than reconstructed afterwards.

Repeatable, not heroic

The tenth refurbishment should be easier than the first. Using the same appraisal, scope and budget structure each time is how that happens.
