We’ve been a bit quieter on social media lately as our founder, Aron, has been transitioning into a new career. But don’t worry, we’re still hard at work! 🔨 Our St David’s shop to flat conversion is in full swing, with our amazing build team at Ilec Group Ltd putting in 12-hour days this week to get ahead before Christmas. 🎄💪 However, like any big project, we’ve hit a small bump – a delay with the meter install means our completion date will now be pushed back by 15 days. ⚡️ While it's not ideal, it's just part of the process with developments like St David’s. We’ll keep you posted as we continue to make progress! 🙌 #AKPropertySolutions #StDavidsProject #ShopToFlatConversion #IlecGroup #BuildingDreams

Unlock Your Property’s Potential with a Dormer Conversion! 🏡 At A&K Property Solutions, we know the incredible value a dormer conversion can bring to your home or investment property. Here’s why they’re such a game-changer: ✅ Maximise Space and Value: A dormer conversion can often add two extra bedrooms, transforming your home into a more spacious and functional property. For HMO investors, this means significantly boosting your rental income and the overall property value. 🔑 No Planning Permission Needed (in most cases): One of the biggest advantages of dormer conversions is that they typically fall under the General Permitted Development Order (GPDO). This eliminates the uncertainty and delays of seeking planning permission, allowing your project to move forward with confidence. 💡 Tailored to Your Goals: Whether you’re creating a dream family home or enhancing your rental yield, dormer conversions are a smart, versatile solution. 📋 Check First: Before starting, ensure there are no specific conditions on your property (common with new builds or previous approvals) that might require planning permission. And don’t forget, building regulations still apply! Whether you're starting from scratch or exploring your next opportunity, A&K Property Solutions is here to guide you every step of the way. 📞 Contact us today and take the first step toward smart, stress-free property investment. Your journey starts here! 🚀 #AKPropertySolutions #DormerConversion #PropertyInvestment #HMO #PropertyValue #HomeImprovement

🏡 At A&K Property Solutions, we know that thorough analysis is the key to successful property investments. Here’s what we focus on: ✨ Comprehensive Due Diligence: • Assess the location, title deeds, and rental market demand. • Review past planning applications to understand potential challenges. 📈 Detailed Financial Appraisal: • Consider every cost: stamp duty, build cost VAT, contingencies, furnishings. • Include CIL and S106 payments, if applicable. • Factor in professional fees (solicitors, architects, etc.) and council tax/utilities for long builds. 📊 Realistic Estimates: • Our figures are estimates—we always do a physical viewing for accuracy. • Don’t be misled by ‘ALL MONEY OUT’ claims; upfront lending fees are common unless you have significant cash reserves. ✪ Exeter Investment Insights: • Expect to leave £30,000-£50,000 post-refinancing due to high capital values. • A 10%+ return on cash employed is our benchmark—far better than a bank’s offer. 🎓 Student vs Professional Tenants: • Students often pay their own bills and student properties are exempt from council tax—boosting net profit. ⚖️ At A&K Property Solutions, thorough due diligence ensures solid cash flow and strong returns.

📊 Exeter HMO Market Insights 📊 🔍 Our latest analysis reveals some key trends in the Exeter HMO rental market, using data from both Spare Room and Right move. Here's what we found: 1️⃣ Supply vs Demand (March–October): Exeter boasts a large stock of HMO properties across the city. According to Spare Room data, for most of the year, the supply of available rooms outweighs demand, giving tenants plenty of options to choose from. 2️⃣ Surge in Listings (October): Right move data consistently shows a spike in student HMO rooms becoming available in October. This is when landlords start securing tenants for the next academic year, resulting in a flood of new listings. 🏡 What does this mean for landlords? With such a competitive market, standing out is crucial. Offering high-quality accommodation and ensuring your adverts (photos, staging, and descriptions) are eye-catching will make all the difference in attracting tenants. Stay ahead of the market—make your property the one people want! 💼✨ #ExeterRentals #HMO #StudentAccommodation #PropertyManagement #Exeter

We are absolutely blown away by the incredible work from Maverick Digital!🌟 With our St Davids project nearing completion but still in its final construction phases, we needed a way to showcase the finished product to Exeter students looking for accommodation for the 2025/26 academic year. October is a key month for student housing advertisements, and we were in need of high-quality visuals to make an impact. Maverick Digital went above and beyond to deliver stunningly realistic CGI images in a short time frame, allowing us to present our vision with complete confidence. The results speak for themselves – we couldn't be happier! Thank you, Maverick Digital, for helping us bring St Davids to life online! 🙌 #StudentAccommodation #ExeterStudents #StDavidsProject #CGI #PropertyDevelopment #ExeterUni #AKPropertySolutions #MaverickDigital

🐝 Unexpected Discovery at the St Davids Project! 🐝 It’s not every day you uncover a honey bee colony in a property – especially one that’s been thriving for 10 to 15 years! 🏠 During our work on the St Davids project, we found an 8-foot colony tucked away. While it has added some stress and unexpected costs, we’re pleased to share that the colony has been safely removed by the specialists at 'Beemoval'. The bees are now in quarantine at their apiary and will be transferred to a full-sized hive next spring, ensuring they continue to thrive.🌱 #BeeRemoval #SustainableSolutions #StDavidsProject #PreservingNature #AKPropertySolutions
