Buy-to-Let Engineered Wood Flooring — Purley, CR8
Landlord flooring in Purley rewards durability over aesthetics — but 'durable' doesn't mean 'ugly'. Our most-fitted BTL spec across 1930s semi homes is a commercial-grade herringbone-effect LVT: waterproof, 20-year-wear-warranted, and photographs well for listing shots.

Why cost-per-year beats upfront cost on Purley rentals
A Engineered Wood Flooring floor in a Purley rental has to be judged on cost-per-tenancy, not cost-per-metre. LVT at £42/m² over 8 years across 3 tenancies = £5.25/m²/tenancy. Engineered oak at £72/m² over 12 years, needing a £18/m² re-sand at year 8 = £6.75/m²/tenancy.
