Older buildings, however, tend to lack in all of these areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here&#8217;s the thing&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t have to demolish to compete. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/how-to-choose-the-right-office-refurbishment-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proper refurbishment<\/a> priorities can make an older building tenants&#8217; choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually refurbishment is hot right now.\u00a0 Commercial Property Remodelling says non-housing repair work grew 15.1% in the 2 years through 2024.\u00a0 Lots of landlords rolling up their sleeves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article will focus on bathroom renovations that make a difference. And where to begin if funds are low.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s jump in!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s inside:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why refurbishment matters more than ever<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The refurbishment priorities that attract modern tenants<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to plan your upgrades without wasting money<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Refurbishment Matters More Than Ever<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern tenants have options. Lots of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They won\u2019t come if your building is old-fashioned or doesn\u2019t meet energy criteria. Period. Here\u2019s the evidence. Around three-quarters of commercial buildings in England have an EPC rating of C or less. Meaning older buildings are already behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the good news though&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t need to tackle everything at once. Renters only see\/feel certain things. Spend your money there first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start With The Floors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floors are the first thing tenants see when they walk in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flooring also takes up the most square footage of your building. Therefore, the floor you choose will set the tone for the entire space. Choose wrong and your building will feel cheap. Choose right and everything else will seem higher end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here&#8217;s why rustic wood flooring works so well in older buildings:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It suits the character of the property<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It ages beautifully over time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It works with modern and traditional interiors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It looks nothing like the vinyl every other landlord uses<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using reclaimed woods such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lubelska.co.uk\/products\/reclaimed-floorboards\/oak\/rustic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rustic floorboards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can add character to an old building that new rivals will struggle to beat. They have history that a new floor from a factory just doesn&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that story helps you stand out in a crowded market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember: No matter what floorcovering you choose, be sure it is durable. Today&#8217;s renters demand surfaces that will stand up for years and not appear weary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fix The Energy Rating<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one isn&#8217;t optional anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2030 the UK Government plans for privately rented non-domestic buildings to achieve EPC B. This is a significant improvement on the position that many older properties find themselves at currently. Pretending it won&#8217;t happen is not a strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Focus your energy on:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better insulation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LED lighting throughout<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern heating systems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draught-proofing on doors and windows<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upgrade bills can range from \u00a315k to \u00a380k per property. Clearly not cheap. But what&#8217;s the alternative? An asset you can&#8217;t legally let. Not such a great result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get it done early. The buildings that get their energy rating completed first will attract the best tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring In More Natural Light<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern tenants love natural light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vintage spaces often possess beautiful bones \u2013 high ceilings, expansive windows \u2013 yet the light is obstructed by dusty blinds, grimy glazing or awkward layouts. Open that up and it transforms the entire space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Simple wins here:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean and repair existing windows<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace old glazing with modern double or triple glazing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove heavy blinds and add light-filtering options<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use lighter paint colours on the walls<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural light will also save you money on energy bills. Double score!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra points if you bust through a wall to reveal a darker area. Architecture fail. Sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modernise The Bathrooms And Kitchens<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where a lot of older buildings really let themselves down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tenants can overlook a paint-splattered exterior. They won&#8217;t forgive dingy bathrooms. Or kitchens with warped cabinets and atrocious lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.officefinder.com\/officeblog\/home-office-renovation-ideas-that-improve-productivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you renovate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> these rooms, opt for simple layouts, quality taps\/fixtures, ample storage, brighter lighting and updated flooring.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have to spend lavishly.\u00a0 But you do have to make them feel modern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neutral colours are timeless. Stay away from trendy tiles or splashy cabinet colours that will look dated in two years&#8217; time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t Skip The Entrance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entrance sets the tone for everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walkability matters. If renters have to traverse a grungy hallway just to get to their front door, they won&#8217;t love the place. First impressions count.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Simple entrance upgrades include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh paint<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better lighting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New signage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Updated door hardware<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A proper doormat and mailbox area<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of these things cost a lot of money. But they have a massive impact. Honestly it\u2019s one of the cheapest wins you can make across the entire refurb.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add Wellness Features<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a newer trend but it matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current tenants (particularly in commercial buildings) expect wellness amenities to be built right into the building. This includes ample ventilation, outdoor space, breakout spaces\/common areas and modern sound proofing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fit outs aren\u2019t always compatible with older buildings. However, having these assets installed as part of a refurbishment can set you apart from rival properties. Combine this with the fact that circa 48% of businesses in the UK now demand full occupancy in 2025, and it\u2019s clear commercial demand will continue to rise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even small touches help. Think plants, natural materials and quiet zones for focused work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan Your Refurbishment Order<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every priority is equal. And you don&#8217;t have unlimited money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin with what tenants see first. Carpets, entryway, bathrooms and kitchens. Move onto the heavy lifting like energy upgrades and structural improvements. This way you can be renting out the updated spaces (and earning money) while continuing to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A rough priority order looks like this:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>First:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> floors, paint, entrance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Second:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bathrooms and kitchens<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Third:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> windows and lighting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fourth:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> insulation and heating systems<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow this and your building will start looking (and performing) better fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bringing It Together<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisoldhouse.com\/flooring\/how-to-refinish-wood-floors-without-sanding\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refurbishing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an older building isn&#8217;t easy work.
