OVERVIEW - CASE STUDY - Serviced Accommodation

Please note that all the information provided below and in the following tabs has been supplied by Prime City Developments and that this has not been verified by LEOpropcrowd.

Pamela and Sean Lindsay are experienced property developers and residential landlords, with a portfolio of properties worth over £8m in Central London. They specialise in identifying and maximising opportunities to add value to their investments and have gained a wealth of construction, financing and deal-hunting knowledge in their 20+ years in property.   

Blackstock Road was Pamela and Sean’s first major renovation project, involving the conversion of a Victorian terraced house into 3 self-contained flats.



The property at 93 Blackstock Road was a single dwelling when Pamela and Sean first purchased it in 2004. They recognised the growing demand for smaller, cheaper accommodation particularly in London, so they decided to convert it into 3 separate, self-contained flats. The overall layout comprises a 4-bedroom flat on the ground and lower ground floors, a 2-bedroom flat on the first floor, and a 2-bedroom maisonette on the top floor. The project involved close liaison with Hackney Council’s Planning and Building Control departments to complete the project and they also had to satisfy a number of Health & Safety requirements.
