“We came across Market Ready’s brochure one day when we were looking to get our house ready to sell. It seemed to us that this was the perfect “one stop shop“ to prepare our house to be in top condition. Ian was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to what we needed to do to get the best possible price for our family home. His trades people are of exceptional standard and we are absolutely delighted with the final result. We can highly recommend Ian and his team.”

“We have been so impressed with Ian from Property Prep and the help he has given us in preparing our property for the market. Throughout the past few weeks in our work together I have found him extremely professional, flexible and considerate. He is also very honest and upfront about the costs and how to go about certain jobs. It’s been a pleasure to work with him and I would not hesitate to recommend his work to others.”

Jenni, St Heliers

“Ian has recently managed to complete several maintenance projects to my great satisfaction. My leaky gutters have been fixed with a couple of clever methods, a long balustrade and a 9 pane window frame have been repaired and prepared for painting and the underside of the corrugated iron roof over my veranda painted. He efficiently organised the labour requirements around the unpredictable spring weather and kept in touch so that I knew when to expect him or his helpers. I recommend him for all those bothersome chores which builders or plumbers don’t want to do.”

Vanessa, Greenlane
