Project Overview

Presence & Co. was appointed to fully refurbish a residential property in Tunbridge Wells, following the end of a long-term tenancy. The project aimed to enhance the living space, improve functionality, and reduce the property’s EPC score, making it more energy-efficient and increasing its rental value.
