D&G Properties Limited is a family business run by mother and daughter who have experience of property development. They have a small portfolio of properties in the area which are offered on a rental basis.
This property was purchased in September 2009 having been empty for more than 6 months with the specific intention to re-develop and return a more spacious family home in the historic seaside town of Deal.
The 3 storey terrace property has been tastefully re-decorated and totally re-furbished including newly fitted carpets, radiators, internal doors, fire-doors where required, double glazing and smoke alarms. Also all bathrooms have decorative tiled walls and modern appliances. The kitchen has soft close cupboards and drawers and ceramic hob. The property will provide a perfect family home close to the town centre location of Deal.
The property offers 4/5 bedrooms or possible study, utility area, lounge, kitchen/diner, bathroom and shower room and parking to the rear. Situated within walking distance to Deal high street with its array of shops and restaurants also walking distance to beautiful beach front area and transport.
Planning permission was not required for the refurbishment and all works have been carried out under Building Notice.
Margaret Draycott of D&G Properties said:
“We think KCC’s No Use Empty Imitative is a cracking idea. John (Day) and Steve (Grimshaw) were on hand to support us with the application process. The fact that the loan is paid up-front has enabled the project to move forward without impacting on our day-today cash flow, which for a small business such as ours is vital in these turbulent times. We have also used several local tradesmen on the project and extremely pleased with the finished product. Hopefully the property will not be on the market for too long and be snapped up, at which point we will be able to re-pay our loan. Having been through the process once, we would definitely consider applying for another loan in the future”.
