Before Tribe

This case study highlights Tribe Portfolio Management's innovative approach to property investment and our ability to unlock hidden value within properties and enhancing the potential of properties for investors.

Initially, the property was targeted at the student market, offering the client a net yield of just 0.16%. By carefully examining the market, considering various factors, and utilising our deep understanding of the local property landscape, we were able to devise a strategy that significantly improved the yield potential of the St. Stephen Street flat.

This case study serves as a testament to Tribe Portfolio Management's dedication to helping investors maximise their returns and achieve their property investment goals.

After Tribe

In our pursuit to enhance the property's value and appeal, we focused our attention on remodelling the entire property.

The new kitchen layout was planned to be simple and maximise the available space and create a comfortable, efficient environment for cooking and socialising. This thoughtful redesign not only elevated the overall aesthetic of the property but also contributed to a more attractive rental proposition.

We then turned our attention to remodelling the bedroom, a crucial space that significantly impacts a tenant's satisfaction and overall living experience. We started by evaluating the current layout, identifying areas that could be improved or updated to maximise functionality and visual appeal.

The property renovation on St Stephen Street in Edinburgh was a resounding success, enabling us to shift our focus from the student market to the more lucrative professional market.

By thoughtfully remodelling the entire property, we were able to significantly increase the property's appeal and secure a higher rental rate. This move not only boosted the investment returns but also proved beneficial for the ongoing maintenance of the property.

The professional tenant demographic is often more conscientious about maintaining their living spaces, which ultimately contributes to the long-term preservation of the property's value and condition.
