Refurbishment
Video: The client purchased a buy-to-let Victorian terraced house in East London. The outdated home was badly in need of a major refurbishment. The landlord hired Marybow Property to supervise the refurbishment process in order to modernise and bring a more contemporary feel. See the transformation in this video.
