Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Creative Home Enhancement consultancy do?
We reimagine and elevate your living space with tailored, creative solutions that reflect your lifestyle and taste going beyond standard interior design. From layout optimisation to creative styling, we help enhance both form and function. We also handle the practical side: sourcing and negotiating with skilled, bespoke tradespeople/firms and managing the entire project from start to finish, so you can enjoy a seamless, stress-free transformation.
Do I need a big budget to work with your consultancy?
Not at all. We work with a wide range of budgets and always aim to make the most of your existing space and resources. Our goal is to find creative, cost-effective ways to elevate your home, whether that means repurposing what you already have, sourcing unique pieces, or helping you prioritise impactful changes.
Why should I work with you instead of going directly to individual companies or trades?
We save you two of the most valuable resources: time and money. By managing the entire process from creative design to sourcing, negotiating, and coordinating trusted trades, we eliminate the stress of juggling multiple suppliers. Our established industry relationships mean we secure competitive pricing and avoid costly delays or rework.
You won’t waste time researching options or managing contractors; we handle it all efficiently, ensuring everything runs smoothly and stays within budget. The result is a unique, high-quality space delivered faster and more cost-effectively than going it alone.
What stage in my project does Home Automation Integration & Install take place?
Smart home integration typically occurs after basic wiring but before final fixtures. However, for full home automation, wiring is done at the first fix stage, with devices installed after second fix and final finishes. Coordination with electricians and automation specialists is essential to align timing with project requirements.
Why must I use a smart home specialist rather than doing the job internally?

How much does it cost for a full home automation project?
At SOV Property, we provide bespoke turnkey solutions for UHNW clients. This means we tailor our services to the clients requirements and budget. A typical full home automation project including a full home cinema room, automated blinds, smart lighting, smart climate control systems, dedicated CCTV cameras and smart alarms would cost in the range of £120,000+ but this depends on the clients' needs.
