Why cost-per-year beats upfront cost on Thornton Heath rentals
A Engineered Wood Flooring floor in a Thornton Heath 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.
