Renovation Opportunities

The success of renovating a house ultimately comes down to good preparation and being aware of what lies ahead. Here we present a selection of properties available on our sister website www.dreamhomes.it

Each one of these properties situated in the Lake Iseo area is a qualified renovation property, some need a substantial intervention and others a light intervention.

In any case, our team are on hand to assist our clients through the whole process.

We will go through the cost of the renovation with you with attention to detail of the work and role of all the professionals involved, the council and the cost of the tradesmen and materials:-

All possible constraints

Static suitability of the property and an assessment of the seismic risks

We will investigate if the property comes under the Superintendence of Fine Arts and the conservation of the building.

What they say...

“In May 2018 we purchased our apartment on Lake Iseo with the invaluable assistance of Madeleine of Dreamhomes. We wanted to make some internal adjustments to make the apartment better suit our requirements. The adjustments involved:

– extending one bedroom into a hallway and getting custom made furniture installed to also act as a divider within the room
– extending one bathroom and shortening another bathroom (by moving a separating wall). This also involved the installation of new bathroom furniture/equipment and revised plumbing and electrical works.
– adding decking to a roof terrace.

The project was managed by Madeleine including:

– Introducing us to an architect, Sara, who provided several drawings to help us choose our preferred layout.
– assistance with the selection of furniture and equipment
– recommending and managing the tradesmen who carried out the alterations

All this took place while we were back home in Scotland, with regular updates including photo’s at all stages, so when we returned to Italy in Late June the project was completed. I don’t think we would have made the adjustments without Madeleine advising on trusted professionals and tradesmen to complete the project and also managing the project in our absence.  We were very happy with the results and a couple of small issues since have been rectified very quickly.”
