My CHEAP Flat has been TRANSFORMED!

Today I'm back at my cheap flat that I bought a few months ago. It needed a lot of work but that has all been done and is now very nearly ready to go.
Thank you for watching. I would greatly appreciate a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and don't forget to subscribe for plenty more videos to come.

I liked this video for the XC90 alone

[@ahyaan2552]

It just looks so classy and sophisticated

[@colinmoss7343]

Nice colour too

[@mikedeman5351]

You've done an amazing job on the flat. I almost fell over when you said you had only spent £15k - but then you explained about the help you got from your Dad. When it comes to landlords, you are the exception to the rule.

[@highpeakproperty]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@richardcrossley5581]

There are good landlords, I don't mind spending money. Yeah, it's my house, but it is my tenant's home.

[@mikedeman5351]

@@richardcrossley5581 Good to hear that Richard.

[@memeGT150]

That's a bit unkind Mike, most landlords are very attentive to their tenants needs. No one gets to hear of the landlord that fitted a new boiler within 18 hours of it going faulty or the " can you take half rent cos my car failed it's MOT " I have done both and I can say none of my tenants have ever missed a payment. It really is a partnership between tenant and landlord.

[@Superzesh101]

@@memeGT150 I think we always hear horror stories from both ends don't we? Bad tenants or bad landlords always get the most exposure.

[@mrandrewhowell]

What a great Dad! Shows the importance of a good family

[@adrianflower3230]

Over leveraged is one step away from disaster. Good call and great project 👍👍

[@lewis72]

We've had 10+ years of very low interest rates and I think a lot of people got used to that. The "renovate then remortgage" model does rely, as you say, on low interest rates.

[@lewis72]

@@markohenry5891 I bought my first house with a fixed rate of 6.5% and that was seen as very competitive at the time.

[@scottymelloty8624]

Looks incredible , good to see someone going the extra mile and making it a nice place for someone to move straight into and enjoy being in there.

[@highpeakproperty]

Thanks! I try

[@JohnCarlyle]

Great work, there's not a single thing I can fault with it. For me, losing the wall between the living room and kitchen is a master stroke. I'm not a fan of opening up areas like that, but in this case it looks a million times better.

[@highpeakproperty]

I think in a little place like this it made all the difference

[@visionsinblue7093]

It's a very masculine design, I liken it to a modern barber's shop. I am a fan, but I like weird things 🤣

[@margowood4924]

How lovely is this, as a renter, I wish I could afford one of your properties. I would feel so proud to live somewhere like this. And your whole outlook is so refreshing, a younger person, willing to work for what he gets and not expecting more than he needs. Congratulations

[@highpeakproperty]

Thanks! Very kind

[@patrickburgess1107]

You are wise to resist the temptation to build a ‘house of cards’ empire, and refreshing to hear that stated on a public forum. A good example to set, when so many online entrepreneurs encourage people to throw caution to the winds. I also think it’s great that your dad and his friends were supportive of this venture, so shout out to him as well. Looking forward to your future posts, and continued success.

[@Rabscuttle3]

A good turnaround, Matt - I agree with the standard of finish you prioritised. The whole project seems worthwhile and viable - well done!

[@highpeakproperty]

It does! It went better than expected. Cheers

[@drivingthefrontier]

Looks great, very clean and modern. I have to say that I am always a little surprised when decorators leave the plastering and filling around sockets really rough as per some of yours. It is just attention to detail. But a great example of what you can do.

[@johnsullivan5101]

I was thinking the same thing. But then again the ones I saw that were bad are near the floor so maybe it's not obvious.

[@henhouseharry6193]

I'm surprised you didn't try to give it a lift by fitting new reg plates.

[@colingraham9281]

You have a very sensible head on your shoulders, Matt. Thumbs up to the help from your dad as well.

[@highpeakproperty]

Thanks!

[@TheFBATruth]

What you've done is what someone who bought the flat to live in would do, which is exactly what needs doing on reno buys, but most just throw a lick of paint throughout and carpet if you're lucky. No point doing half measures as they'll eventually need doing either way, and it makes you look like every other landlord out there, which you're clearly not. Good properties and a good price will generally get you good tenants for the long run. I'm not surprised honestly given it's the same as you do with your cars. I'm from your local area and got a lot of stuff for my own house in Lancashire from there, and also know most of the car places you mention to be good places too. Good luck to you Matt.

[@highpeakproperty]

Thanks! I think it’s the best approach really. I couldn’t do it any other way

[@jenny80myles]

Looks great. What a transformation!

[@richardcrossley5581]

Great result. 1) I installed fitted wardrobes in an apartment 20+ years ago and I noticed on RightMove they were still there when the property was on the market a year or so ago. 2) Opening up the kitchen is a game changer. Over here in Hong Kong the kitchens can be really small and separated by a wall from the living room, Mrs Crossley and I opened ours up and it makes the whole living room a much better place and gives us extra storage.

[@snacklofter]

A lovely job - well done Matt & good old Dad!👍👍

Love the flat. Saving up to give my flat a makeover, so this has given me an idea of how much I need for a cracking finish

Looks really good and glad you took the advice not to over personalise it. May have to pinch your lighting idea for the stairs though 😂

[@a.y.o694]

Well done! And well done to your dad!

Can’t just me be but those fresh light switches are so satisfying when they click

[@sharrongray1837]

Wow amazing results thank you for sharing with us all 👍🏻

[@russellbrown4760]

Hi Matt, flat looks great. When storage is at a premium it is a good idea to put kitchen cupboards to the ceiling. There are always items that are not used very often that can go up on to the top shelf and can be easily accessed with a small step ladder when needed. Also eliminates the dust on top of the cabinets for little extra cost. Warm regards from New Zealand.

[@highpeakproperty]

Thats true. Cheers

[@patrickburgess1107]

Well done! It has been a pleasure to watch your progress over the past few years.

[@highpeakproperty]

Fantastic transformation. Great mindset to furbish it as if it was yourself moving in, tenats really do appreciate that service, and its also better in the long rund.

[@highpeakproperty]

I think/hope so. Cheers

[@ianyoud1]

Hi Matt wow what an amazing transformation new tenants will love it

[@highpeakproperty]

I think so too!

[@reinmansmith]

Thank God for Dad and his mates!! They’ve done a great job for you there Matt. I agree that it’s always better in the long run to spend that little bit extra to get a quality look and finish. As you say, you then hope that it will be better looked after by a better quality of tenant.

[@chriskeppiepaintersdecorat8118]

Cracking finished project pal. Love watching your videos 👍

Well done on the flat, looks great.I always take the stance that it should be somewhere that I would like to live when doing a refurb
