Alchemy - Adding value to your home

Everyone wants to get the best possible price for their property, but making the changes necessary to achieve the best price can be more difficult than many people imagine.

Alchemy is a company which specialises in helping homeowners of properties worth over £1 million in the Thames Valley maximise the value of their home by transforming properties to ensure they reach their full sales potential. By significantly increasing the value of a property, Alchemy enables homeowners to maximise their profit in order for them to downsize or reinvest the profit as they choose.

Barbara Richardson, chartered surveyor and Managing Director of Alchemy, explains more about the service Alchemy provides:

‘We know what buyers look for and how homeowners can transform their properties to meet buyers’ expectations. We give each property a thorough ‘health-check’, looking at a range of elements from planning potential to legal considerations all the way through to landscaping and interiors, and our recommendations are designed to help vendors get the most out of their property.’

Alchemy brings together the professionals to achieve the client's objective of increasing the value of their property, whether that means securing a planning permission for additional development or extension, clearing restrictions on title, making internal improvements or external improvements to ensure that the first impression of the property has the desired impact on potential buyers.

Alchemy’s project directors work closely with clients as they go through the difficult process of turning a much-loved home into a property with excellent sale potential. This central management ensures that all elements of the project co-ordinate with one another to ensure that targets for improvement are met and any work comes in on schedule and on budget.

This all encompassing service goes beyond managing the design and completion of building work. Alchemy’s attention to detail supports the selling agents as they present the property to potential buyers and the team can even organise removals, help with interior decorating, find staff and set up utility contracts to make moving easier.

Barbara has been involved with some sizable developments and has been responsible for significant increases in the prices of her clients’ homes.

‘As independent advisors, we are able to look at a property objectively and advise clients on how we can work with them to help them make the most of their properties. We have achieved fantastic results for our clients and are proud of our track record. Taking on a development of any size is never easy, but we pride ourselves on making the process as easy and streamlined as possible with our team of professionals.’
