Procurement of Building Materials
When we at Millennia Property do any project either for ourselves or for any of our investors we pay meticulous detail to the purchasing of materials. Even though we have employed contractors to do the job we still are involved in all purchasing; for a project this micro management of costing allows us to save us and our investors thousands of pounds on every project. One of the many processes we use for procurement that saves us up to 30% on some items is simply phoning three of the same builders merchants like Travis & Perkins in three local towns and asking for quotes on certain products like fire doors or door handles. We generally find that we get three different quotes and can also sometimes get the local store to match the store with the best price therefore keeping costs down significantly across the project when this process is applied to every purchase.

Starting the Building Works
With 97 Student Row we are going to put a dormer on the attic and turn that into a bedroom. Tank the Cellar and do the same there and also turn the sitting room into a bedroom and add another WC and Shower to the property to make it work for HMO use. This will involve a lot of work and much of it will be messy and noisy and impact on the neighbours.

Whenever we start a project we know exactly how long the project will take and also we know what days and times of days are going to be the noisiest and therefore impact on our new friends the neighbours. We always talk to the houses next to where we are working to let them know how long we are going to be on site, what days we will have machinery working so that they can make plans to go out on those days and we also give them an idea of how nice the property is going to be and how nice the tenants will be and they will know that if they have a problem with anything we are doing they just need to knock on the door and chat to the foreman and we will if possible work around their needs. For us at Millennia Property It is important that the people who live around the property have as little impact on their lives as possible for example if the neighbour works nights we hold of the noisy works till the afternoon.

Even though we have faith in our building contractors they know that we will be checking every day for an update on every project to make sure that works are on time and that the expected completion date is still going to happen.

Every Day Management
This is the most important aspect of what we do on any project. Our builders know that at any time of any day we are available for any questions or queries that crop up. There is nothing more annoying to find out that your building crew is not making any progress on site because they need an answer from you due to an unforeseen problem. We at Millennia Property also make sure that we are on site every day to check progress and see what is happening and is also a gentle reminder to the building crew we are on the case.

Building Your Portfolio
We at Millennia Property are helping many people build their future wealth with high cash flowing HMO’s. We have found that over the many years we have been involved in refurbing a property no project is ever exactly like another and therefore it is important that every detail of the refurbishment and capital works carried out is micro managed. This not only safes time and money but will also eventually increase cash flow.
