Across ten major UK cities, London holds more than half of all owners who need work done and can afford it, about 1,100 of the roughly 2,058 total. These are owners of an EPC F or G rated property (so it needs upgrading, and for a rental cannot be re-let under MEES until it is) who also hold cash reserves over £50,000 and a positive balance sheet (so they can fund a refurbishment rather than being forced to sell).

Why London leads
London has the deepest stock of company-held property and the highest concentration of owners with both a condition problem and the means to fix it. For a builder or contractor, that means the largest single pool of reachable refurbishment clients in the country, before those jobs ever reach a tender or an agent.
How a builder acts on it
Identify the London owners in your area and trade, lead with the concrete problem you can solve, the property fails on condition and needs bringing up to standard, and offer to do the work. Because the owner already has the cash and a recorded reason to act, you start from a real need. GalimAI can run that outreach under your own brand.
