Case study
24-Unit HMO Scheme, Manchester — Full FF&E Sourced from China in Under 12 Weeks
Property type: HMO scheme · Location: Manchester · Scope: Kitchen units & full bedroom package
The brief
A 24-unit HMO scheme in Manchester needed a full kitchen and bedroom fit-out — 40 kitchen units plus a complete bedroom package — specified to rental-ready standard and delivered against a fixed handover timeline. For HMO developers, the two things that matter most are cost control across volume and a delivery date that actually holds, since a delayed fit-out delays occupancy income across the whole scheme.
What we sourced
- 40 kitchen units, specified and quoted as a single consolidated order
- A full bedroom package across all 24 units
How we ran it
Factory options were returned within 48–72 hours of the brief, each with photos, specs, and pricing. Every item was inspected before it shipped, with a full pre-shipment photo report shared ahead of the container sealing. Freight, UK customs clearance, and delivery to site were handled end-to-end, coordinated against the scheme's handover programme.
The result
"We needed 40 kitchen units and a full bedroom package for an HMO in under 12 weeks. IK ENG came back with factory options within two days, and everything arrived on site exactly when they said it would. First time I've had zero surprises from a China supplier."
