Featured Project: Barlarnock

The Challenge

We prioritise a portfolio of top-tier rental properties, so refreshing a mid-life unit became a key focus. The space worked fine but showed signs of age—time to fix the wear, update basics, and align it with current expectations.

Our aim id to turn it into more than just a rental. Build a solid, appealing home that draws reliable long-term renters and upholds the RNC Property standard.

Before

Our Solutions

Our team went to work, implementing a comprehensive upgrade plan. We started with the essentials, installing a brand-new kitchen and a modern bathroom to replace the outdated units. We also took this opportunity to upgrade the fuse box, ensuring the property’s electrics were safe and efficient.

To address previous tenant damage, we carried out extensive plastering work, followed by a full interior repaint. This attention to detail created a clean, fresh, and welcoming atmosphere throughout the home. Every element was carefully chosen to provide a durable and attractive finish, ideal for a long-term rental.

the results

The investment in this mid-life upgrade paid off immediately. The property was returned to the market and rented within just three days, proof of solid execution and steady demand for sharp rentals.

The changes boosted the property’s worth and handed new renters a real home base for the long haul.
