Bodmin Road, Eastleigh, Southampton

Background

Once a neglected and overgrown space marked by deteriorating garages and substandard
security, the Bodmin Road garage site had long fallen into disrepair. That changed with
the arrival of Courtman & Co. Taking ownership of the site management, we brought a clear
strategy and hands-on commitment to revitalising the area, transforming it into a functional, secure, and welcoming space the community could take pride in.

Strategy & Delivery

We implemented a phased regeneration programme aimed at enhancing the site’s overall
condition, bolstering security, and increasing its rental appeal. Key improvements included:

Clearance of overgrown vegetation and significant tree surgery
Excavation and levelling of built-up earth to mitigate damp ingress
Installation of new perimeter fencing and secure gates
Replacement of garage doors and re-felting of roofs
Ongoing maintenance programme to preserve site quality

Combining visible upgrades with robust infrastructure and structured maintenance, the Bodmin Road garages now offer a secure, attractive environment that supports sustained occupancy and delivers tangible value to the community.

Outcomes

Site Transformation: The site is now fully refurbished, clean, and secure, with significantly enhanced curb appeal.
High Demand: The site is 100% let at rates between £30–£34 per week, supported by a waiting list.
Ongoing Value: Regular maintenance ensures the site remains in excellent condition, preserving its long-term income-generating capacity.

Conclusion

The regeneration of the Bodmin Road site exemplifies how proactive asset management and targeted investment can convert underperforming sites into valuable, fully let properties. Courtman & Co.’s hands-on approach continues to support strong rental yields and long-term site performance.
