PROJECT
The back of north facing flats .
Seeing a run-down building that previously had nine flats and housed a fast-food outlet and video store , going to waste , was Leroy ’ s opportunity to enter the bigger but modest property market .
Being an inner-city property , with good security , close access to schools , retail , and transport , and close to the lake , the idea developed into an inner-city housing development of 13 ground-floor flats , 13 firstfloor flats and five on the second floor . The flats range from bachelor , I bedroom and two bedrooms on each floor .
Completed in six months , Leroy attests to having learnt a great deal about design , building , contractors , municipal requirements and so on . The rebuild was completed by February 2020 and March saw Covid strike which was a worrying and rough time for Leroy which he came through , nonetheless .
Each flat has its own metered electricity supply including the hot water storage units . The building is managed by a management company , leaving entrepreneur Leroy to seek
Leroy Slava .
“ None of this would have been possible without the guidance from TUHF and their programme for Property Entrepreneurs .”
