LOFT Launches Pre-Loved Furnishing Solution for Property Professionals

LOFT's Pre-loved furnishing solution

Before LOFT, there was Chattels, a quality used furniture outlet located in Manchester, established in 1978.

In essence LOFT was born from a second-hand furniture business, and it gives us great pleasure after a 20-year hiatus to return to our roots and launch “Pre-Loved Furnishings by LOFT.”

By definition, Pre-Loved, Second Hand or Pre-Owned means furniture that has been previously owned and used.

Since 2003 LOFT has furnished thousands of properties, across the Private Rented Sector, Student Housing or PBSA sector, HMO property sector, Buy To Let Property sector and more recently the Build To Rent sector.

Lots of the furniture we originally supplied is coming to the end of its first life and there is a huge opportunity for us to create a second life for furnishings from past projects.

Our Unique Selling Point (USP) at LOFT is we deliver, assemble, install, and remove, replace, and recycle furniture and accessories for our partners.

We have invested significantly in our waste management infrastructure recently and we are committed to the 5 R’s of the circular economy - Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle.

Here is a list of reasons why we love Pre-Loved Furnishings at LOFT.
