Project Property

Refurbishment project management for investors in the North East

Project Property works with property investors to deliver refurbishment projects across the North East of the UK. The company positions itself as an end-to-end service covering property sourcing, refurbishment project management and letting. Its stated focus is on investors who cannot manage trades, contractors or site issues remotely, offering hands-on coordination from assessment through to completion.

The business reports having delivered over £1 million of refurbishments and cites over ten years of property investment experience. It operates as an active investor itself, which it presents as the basis for its project management approach.

How a refurbishment project is structured

Project Property describes a four-stage process for each project:

• Project assessment: review of the property, refurbishment scope and investment strategy to identify value-add opportunities and determine the most effective approach.
• Budget and planning: preparation of a refurbishment scope and budget, along with timelines and contractor scheduling.
• Refurbishment delivery: coordination of works on site, with regular progress updates, budget tracking and communication for investors.
• Completion and compliance: final checks and snagging, with building control approvals, safety certificates and compliance documentation provided ready for letting, sale or refinancing.

Featured projects

The company lists several completed refurbishment projects across its portfolio and for investor clients:

• South Shields – HMO conversion: a six-bedroom, six-ensuite HMO conversion involving full internal reconfiguration and refurbishment, finished with the design of an award-winning interior designer.
• Stockton – BRR: a three-bedroom buy-to-let investor project refurbished from poor condition to a strong rental standard, including key structural and internal upgrades.
• Stockton – BRR multi-unit block: a block of four flats refurbished and reconfigured, with layout changes, compliance upgrades and full internal works to improve rental potential and overall yield.
• Stockton – flip: a three-bedroom property fully refurbished from very poor condition, including a new heating system, full internal works and external landscaping to create a modern, high-spec home.

The team behind the projects

Jake Thompson, property investor and project manager, states that he began investing in property at 18 and purchased and renovated his first investment property in 2013. Over the past decade he has built a portfolio across Buy-to-Let, BRR and refurbishment projects, alongside delivering over £1 million of renovation and development work. He focuses on ensuring projects are completed efficiently, within budget and to a high standard, with clear communication throughout.

Neil Thompson, refurbishment and site manager, oversees refurbishment works across projects. He brings decades of hands-on experience in property renovation, with a background in plumbing and as a qualified gas engineer. He works closely with contractors on site to ensure projects run smoothly, meet the required standard and are delivered efficiently, and plays a key role in quality control across all projects.
