Which rules apply in the West Midlands?
Gas work done for payment must be carried out by a member of the Gas Safe Register (Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998). Landlords must have each gas appliance and flue checked at least every 12 months and give the record to the tenant within 28 days. We confirm the registration of the engineer for your job in writing before appointment.
What does it cost in the West Midlands?
Our guide range for refurbishing an acquired or temporary accommodation home in the West Midlands is £7,750–£24,250 per home. That is the UK range of £8,000–£25,000 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.97 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 0.95–1.00); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Because move-in dates are often fixed by a placement, we programme the work backwards and order long-lead items such as kitchens on approval of the scope.

Can you work to a fixed move-in date?
Yes. We plan backwards from your date and tell you on day one if anything (such as a kitchen lead time) puts it at risk.
Can you survey before we complete the purchase?
Yes, if you can arrange access with the seller or agent. A pre-purchase scope helps you judge whether the price makes sense once works are included.
