Who Are We?

A Family Business Built on Decades of Property Expertise

Adam Cole, Director of Renovate For Sale

Renovate for Sale was founded by Adam Cole, who brings over 40 years of experience in banking, property lending, and asset management. But unlike the corporate world he came from, Renovate for Sale operates as a family business - because we believe inherited property sales should feel personal, not transactional.

Adam's background includes acting as the CEO of Aventria Property (the UK's leading independent asset management firm), founding and successfully selling Optimus-Legal to Landmark Information Group in 2019, and representing major UK lenders in possession and probate property matters. That experience taught him one thing: the traditional system isn't built for families. It's built for banks and developers.

Why We Do Things Differently

We understand that inheriting a property often comes at a difficult time. It's not just about bricks and mortar - it's about family, memories, and sometimes grief. That's why we handle every situation with genuine care and compassion.

When you contact us, you won't be passed around a call centre or stuck on hold. You'll speak directly with a real person - usually Adam himself - who will take the time to understand your specific situation and give you honest, straightforward advice.

Adam started Renovate for Sale with a simple principle: treat every inherited property like it belonged to his own family. That means:

  • Zero upfront costs - we fund the entire renovation ourselves
  • Complete transparency - you see exactly what work is being done and what it costs
  • No pressure - if your property isn't a good fit for our service, we'll tell you honestly
  • Fair fees - we only get paid when the property sells, and our fee is based on the value we actually add

We're not a faceless corporation. We're a small team that genuinely cares about helping families get the best outcome during what's often a difficult time.

Our Track Record

From Bristol flats to Pembrokeshire portfolios, we've helped families across the UK add hundreds of thousands of pounds to their inheritance - money that would have been left on the table if they'd sold as-is or at auction.

Every property is different, which is why we take the time to assess each one individually and give you an accurate, no-obligation valuation.
