Lancashire Court Mayfair Client HartDixon on behalf of their client Royal London Project Period 12 months Project Value £575,000 This complete refurbishment of an old property, resulted in two beautiful, two-bedroom apartments above a first-floor retail space. Quality was of the utmost importance throughout to fit in with Mayfair’s renowned reputation.

Due to the size of the rooms and the government restrictions regarding the pandemic, it meant we were only able to have two employees on the site at one time, causing the completion time to extend further than we had hoped.
