Interior Design Pillar #4:Interior Budget
When it comes to property investments, maximizing the return on investment is a top priority for developers and investors.
While the purchase price, location, and exterior of a property are important factors, the interior design can significantly impact its overall value.
In this blog post, we will explore the relationship between interior design costs and the Gross Development Value (GDV) of a property, highlighting the potential benefits and considerations.
Interior design plays a crucial role in attracting buyers or tenants, creating a unique and appealing environment that sets a property apart from the competition. By investing in thoughtful and well-executed interior design, developers can enhance the overall appeal, functionality, and marketability of their properties.

When determining interior design costs, it's important to consider the GDV of the property.
The GDV represents the estimated value of the property after development and accounts for factors such as location, size, and market demand.
By allocating a reasonable percentage of the GDV towards interior design costs, developers can ensure that the property's interior matches its market value.
The cost of interior design can vary depending on several factors, including the size, complexity, and desired level of finishes.
Developers should consider the number of rooms, square footage, desired aesthetic, and any additional requirements when estimating the interior design budget.
Property investors need to strike a balance between controlling costs and achieving an impressive interior that aligns with the property's market value. Working with experienced interior designers can help optimize the budget by offering cost-effective solutions, sourcing materials at competitive prices, and leveraging industry connections.

Let's consider three hypothetical scenarios to illustrate the relationship between GDV and interior design costs:
6-Bed Property with a GDV of £300,000:
In this case, allocating a portion of the GDV towards interior design costs, such as £6,000, can ensure a well-designed and enticing interior that aligns with the property's value.
7-Bed Property with a GDV of £350,000:
Similarly, a property with a higher GDV may warrant a slightly larger interior design budget, such as £7,000, to create a luxurious and marketable interior that complements the property's overall value.
10-Bed Property with a GDV of £500,000:
With a larger property and higher GDV, the interior design costs can also be proportionally higher. Allocating around 2% of the GDV towards interior design, an estimated budget of £10,000 would be suitable to create an impressive and high-value interior for this 10-bed property.
It's important to note that these examples showcase approximate percentages for interior design costs in relation to the GDV. The actual percentages may vary depending on factors such as project complexity, desired level of finishes, and market expectations. Working closely with an experienced interior design team can help tailor the budget and ensure optimal value for your investment.
