24 hour Emergency Service

We provide a 24 hour, 7 days a week emergency service to our clients. We pride ourselves on providing fully trained and experienced engineers who will always be available to help you.

Work will be allocated to the nearest engineer to keep travelling time to a minimum and to ensure the quickest possible response. You can also be assured that with an extensive selection of suppliers Express Property Group will waste no time in resolving your emergency.

Unlike others, Express Property Group demands no call out fee, no minimum charge and no hidden extras. Such as parking, mileage or congestion charge.

Buying or selling a home?

Electrical surveys are a growing trend of both buyers and sellers, partly because of proposed moves to seller's packs, and partly because of the more stringent regulations relating to electrical safety. Building surveyors are trained to recognise some of the indications of poor installations but are often not qualified electricians.

For seller's, an electrical survey can assure prospective buyers that the property they intend to purchase is safe, and remove potential sticking points over pricing. Changing light fittings, switches and sockets might enhance the value of your property, just like redecoration prior to sale.

If you are purchasing a property, a qualified electrician from Express Property Group can inspect the electrics on your behalf to find out if anything is faulty, and, if so, how much it will cost to fix. This could be a full inspection and test-to which sellers should not object-or a more cursory look.

Whether you are selling your home or moving into a new property, please make sure you do electrical work first before you start redecorating. If we can be of any assistance, please contact us on 020 8539 5225.

Top Home Improvements

Below are the top 10 improvements to a house that can give the best return on investment (based on a typical 1930s three bed, semi-detached home). The higher the 'value factor', the better the return.

Improvement	Value Factor	Average Cost
Central Heating - Radiators and boilers are warm favourites. The best boilers to install are the energy-efficient, gas-condensing type, which use 20% to 40% less energy.	10/10	£2,500
Kitchen - pick the best kitchen you can afford, while keeping your outlay in proportion to your home's value.	8/10	£8,500
Bathroom - Improvements to your bathroom are still a popular choice. Novelty features such as corner baths, sunken basins and whirlpools are in demand.	7/10	£1,500
Insulation - Half of all homes have less than the recommended six inches of loft lagging, three-quarters are inadequately draught-proofed and cavity walls are installed in only one out of five dwellings. Roof lagging soon pays for itself in lower fuel bills.	7/10	£900
Extension - Your home's value depends on its location and condition. Building an extension will increase the value of your home.	7/10	Single storey: £25,000 Double storey: £35,000
Loft conversion - It needs careful planning as, if the job's done badly, it will decrease your selling price and some conversions can look unsightly.	6/10	£17,000
Decorating - This can be one of the easiest and cheapest jobs to undertake. If you're thinking about decorating before putting a house on the market, go for a simple approach and neutral colours.	8/10	variable
New windows - Double glazing provides extra insulation, which helps cut fuel bills. A bonus is that the frames don't rust, rot or need painting. Always have at least one window on the first floor which opens wide enough for you to escape in the event of a fire.	5/10	£5,000
Conservatory - You don't need building regulations approval if your conservatory will occupy less than 30 square metres, but planning permission may be needed, so always check. Ensure it doesn't encroach heavily on your garden space.	5/10	£10,000
Garden Improvements - Buyers go for neat, well maintained gardens, which they can change easily when they move in, rather than those which are over-elaborate or landscaped. Security is important to buyers and floodlighting can be an effective deterrent.	5/10	variable
