Why BuildAbode

One contractor, not a different trade for every job.

Refurbishing a house usually means finding a builder, a plumber, an electrician, a plasterer, a kitchen fitter and a decorator, then trying to get them all in the right order. We take all of that off your hands.

Doing it trade by trade

  • Lots of quotes, contacts and invoices
  • You arrange who comes in when
  • Gaps and delays between trades
  • Costs hard to keep track of

With BuildAbode

  • One point of contact throughout
  • One plan covering every trade
  • One budget, agreed up front
  • One timeline, managed for you

For private investors

Back a single house project.

Alongside client work, we buy run-down and under-market houses, often at auction, and refurbish them to sell or let. Private investors can back an individual project, typically between £100,000 and £250,000.

“We invest our own capital into each project, aligning interests and maintaining disciplined cost control.”

How each project is set up

  • Your capital returned first, before any profit is shared
  • Profit split between BuildAbode and the investor, agreed up front
  • Asset-backed: secured against the property
  • A set budget and timeline for each project
  • Risk-assessed before we buy, on cautious valuations

Capital at risk. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns. Only for high-net-worth or sophisticated investors.
