See the opportunity behind the condition
A tired property can have a better future. Start with a sound buying decision.
You can picture what it could become. A comfortable rental home. A house a family would want to buy. A building with potential for a different use.
The difficult part is knowing what to pay, what needs doing and who will carry the project through. A low price means little if the roof, legal position or refurbishment bill removes the margin.
That is where Tuna Fish Property can help. We bring the search, local knowledge and practical project support together, so the purchase is considered alongside the work and the intended exit.
Whether this is your first renovation investment or your next development, we start with your available capital, your experience and what you want the property to achieve.
Choose the outcome before the purchase
One search. Three ways to create value.
The right property for a flip may be different from the right BRRR investment. We source against your strategy, then assess the price, works, funding and exit together.
Retain for rental income
Buy, refurbish, refinance and rent
Improve the property, seek refinancing and keep it as a rental investment. The aim is to build a sustainable portfolio and, where the figures allow, recover some of the capital invested.
- Assess likely rent and the total project budget.
- Plan the mortgage exit with a specialist broker before buying.
- Prepare the property for tenants and ongoing management.
Refurbish and sell
Find a property to flip
Buy a property that needs work, improve it for the local buyer market and sell. A viable flip starts with a purchase price that leaves room for every cost and a realistic selling period.
- Use completed sale evidence to assess the exit.
- Choose improvements buyers are likely to value.
- Allow for finance, holding and selling costs.
Conversion or larger scheme
Source a development opportunity
Look for a building where a different layout or use could create value. Bring the proposed scheme, professional advice, permissions and construction budget into the appraisal from the outset.
- Consider houses, conversions and suitable larger buildings.
- Check the title and proposed use with the relevant professionals.
- Plan the programme, costs and intended exit.
Refinancing depends on the lender, valuation and your circumstances. For every strategy, test the figures against a lower exit value, higher costs and a longer timetable.
You do not need to have found the property.
Tell us your budget and the outcome you want. We can help shape the buying brief and explain the next step.
A published client purchase
£135,000 purchase. £15,000 refurbishment.
This 2026 Liverpool example connects the buying decision with the works. Our published project account records the purchase, refurbishment by Tuna Fish Property and the other stated acquisition costs.
The purchase and the project belong in the same calculation.
A house can look promising in an auction catalogue. The useful question is what it will cost to buy, improve and hold, and what evidence supports the intended exit.
This account records £163,350 in stated purchase, transaction and refurbishment costs. It gives you a practical example of the figures to bring together before committing to a renovation.
We can apply that approach to your search: assess the opportunity, understand the work and agree a buying limit that reflects the whole project.

Historical example. The stated total includes £6,950 stamp duty, £2,800 legal fees and £3,600 auction fees. It excludes mortgage fees, finance interest, holding costs and any further expenditure. Your complete appraisal must include these. Estimated values are not realised profits.
Experience you can see
We understand the work behind a renovation.
Our project experience includes an office building converted into apartments in central Liverpool, a former care home conversion in Wirral and smaller residential refurbishments. It gives us a practical view of what happens after you receive the keys.
These are separate archive photographs showing the range of our work.
The property nobody bought on auction day
This renovation project was acquired after it failed to sell at auction. The published account describes a 4 bedroom property of 1,936 sq ft bought for under £100,000, with energy improvement works shown in progress.
It demonstrates why an unsold lot deserves a fresh assessment. The buying opportunity, condition and scope for improvement need to be considered together.

Renovation property in Liverpool: your questions
Can you source renovation property for sale in Liverpool?
Yes. We search for opportunities across Liverpool, Merseyside and Wirral against an agreed buying brief. The search can include auction, unsold, repossessed, receiver and off market property. Availability changes, so tell us your budget and intended strategy rather than relying on a fixed list of advertised stock.
Can you help me find a property to flip?
Yes. We can discuss a search for property to refurbish and sell, assessing the purchase price, likely works, evidence of completed sales and intended exit. Include transaction, finance, holding and selling costs when judging the margin.
Can you help with BRRR as well as the refurbishment?
Yes. We can help connect sourcing, agreed refurbishment, introductions to mortgage specialists, tenant finding and management. Your broker should assess the proposed refinance before purchase. A higher property value does not mean all your invested capital can be released.
How much money do I need?
It depends on the property, works, funding and exit. Tell us your available cash, including what you can allocate to refurbishment and a reserve. A budget must cover acquisition costs, professional fees, finance, holding costs and contingency as well as the purchase price. We can then discuss the type of search that could be realistic.
Do I have to live in Liverpool or manage the work myself?
No. We work with local investors, clients elsewhere in the UK and overseas owners. You can agree local viewings, photographs, updates and coordination of the works. The scope, spending authority and fees are set out before proceeding.
What if I have already found a property?
Send the address or auction link, the price, your proposed works and your intended exit. We can discuss the information needed for an assessment, access and whether our sourcing or refurbishment support would help.
What are the sourcing and refurbishment fees?
We explain the sourcing fee, agreed services and any separate project coordination or professional costs before you instruct us. Refurbishment is quoted for the specific property and specification. Ask what is included, excluded and subject to VAT.
