House Doctor - Home Staging - Furniture Packs

Our House Doctor will see you now...

            ...as we are inspired by today's trendest Interior Designers who understand the demands of the ever-changing trends of the property market.   Given the current trends of the rapidly growing ‘buy to let’ market, added to the fact that tenants are being a lot more discerning and demanding, expectations are at an all time high.  We are committed to paving the way forward and has instinctively evolved to ‘SET THE STANDARD’ as a company, to make life so much easier for the property investor.

Acknowledged as finding the UK’s trendest furniture, our goal is to continuously provide a high service to those who seek choice with all the benefits of a quick and easy solution. We are always taking the initiative to develop new ideas and creative options. We are backed by expert Interior Designers and Furniture Suppliers who endeavour to challenge any adversity in order to make a difference. This we believe makes the difference between the satisfactory and the extraordinary. Our experienced team are available to assist you in all areas from making your package choice to assisting with delivery, assembly and installation options.

As property investors we understand the huge demands faced when buying a new property, by financial and time constraints, and we realise how much stress this may cause. We have access to an array of furniture package options with these factors in mind. The ‘Furniture Packages’ are specifically geared around simplicity, durability and value for money, enabling you to alleviate the stresses and strains as well as enhance your property and achieve that much publicised ‘WOW’ factor with a cost effective solution.

As responsible suppliers we recognise that we are the custodians of the environment for tomorrow’s generations and adopt an ethical policy to reflect this. We have undertaken to work with ‘our environment’ and as such do not provide products knowingly sourced from developing countries. Where possible we use UK manufacturers and ensure all wood products are supplied from sustainable sources.

As dictated by market conditions, furniture is rapidly becoming a necessity for any ‘buy to let’ property. Landlords are aware it is becoming increasingly difficult for potential house buyers to get on the first rung of the property ladder and that people have to rent for longer. Also, the average tenant’s age is getting older. This has resulted in potential tenants increasingly using search criteria such as style and quality. Recent surveys have shown that increased tenant satisfaction may be partly ascribed to the fact that rental properties are NOW usually structurally sound and “NICELY FURNISHED”.

With these market trends in mind and to that end, Sand & City Properties has persistently pursued innovation towards style and design to promote the investment property and pushed the boundaries to create a model of choice with something for everyone and at a price to suit any budget. With Sand & City Properties there comes a wealth of expertise in many sectors, from distribution logistics, interior design, property investor, through to retail furniture management and information technology (IT) which combined has evolved to provide a second to none service. To fully understand Sand & City Properties, it's helpful to understand all the ways in which the company has helped and to define how the Landlord, Letting Agent, Property Manager, and House Builder has benefited.
