In Kensington and Chelsea women house-hunters are much more likely than men to be impressed by a house if it has undergone a refurbishment, according to anecdotal evidence.

Kensington and Chelsea estate agent Simon Hicks says that there’s a stark contrast between men and women when it comes to whether they view a non-refurbished property much less favourably than a newly refurbished one.

“When it comes to property refurbishment in Kensington and Chelsea men are inclined to disregard this concern and focus purely on the potential of the living space and how it might be altered.” Mr. Hicks said.

“Women on the other hand are completely different creatures,Kensington and Chelsea women find property refurbishment far more impressive than the men...? Articles and traditionally they are sticklers for new carpet, a good paint job and modern, practical, stylish fixtures and fittings.” He added.

Property refurb’ in Kensington and Chelsea has always provided valuable business for builders - not just because it enhances the dweller’s enjoyment, but because of constantly changing fashions.

Many developers looking to make a quick sale will employ a property refurb’ in areas like Kensington and Chelsea to secure the deal.

Clinton Foakes, who runs a building company of the same name in and around the Kensington and Chelsea area, said: “The idea that women respond more positively than men to property refurbishment is a curious finding.”

“I guess from our point of view it doesn’t really matter whether a property refurbishment happens before a home changes hands or after – as long as we have got the contract” He quipped.

Simon Hicks said: “If one of these Kensington and Chelsea properties has undergone a property refurbishment, it makes my job much easier.”

“With married couples you often find that it is the woman who wears the trousers, and if she is impressed with the aesthetic brought by a property refurbishment, I am that bit closer to closing the deal.”
