Jo Behari established Home Jane the UK’s first home improvement and property maintenance companies with an all-female workforce.
Since starting my own business I have become very passionate about helping others and I try why I can to speak to, encourage and support other people looking to start their own thing. But the thing I find myself doing more then any other is helping friends, family and even friends of friends decide on house to buy, interpret surveys, builders quotes and more importantly giving advice on refurbishment projects.
Houses can be a daunting issue to the uninitiated and when undertaking large refurbishment works or purchasing property you need to be confident of your decisions. Many people find it difficult to understand what can be done in their home or even what builders are telling them.
If this is you, you need a ‘building whisperer’; someone who understands buildings and building work but who can speak layman. I can work with you to help you purchase a property and understand what you can do to improve that property or I can work with you through a refurbishment project from briefing the builder, understanding the quote and ensuring the project runs smoothly. Contact me to have a chat about how my expertise can help your project.
