Why the ‘Renovator’s Delight’ is a Favourite Client Brief
I have a special admiration for anyone brave enough to take on the challenge of renovating. No matter how many times you do it, renovating remains a formidable yet immensely rewarding task.
I have done it several times both personally and professionally. Sometimes simply small cosmetic updates and other much more extensive projects. I love guiding clients into buying property with fantastic fundamentals, that they can add value to over time. Ideally spending a dollar and making three!
Why I Love the Renovator's Brief
One of the main reasons I love working with clients who are interested in renovation projects is that it strips away the emotional allure of newly renovated spaces. Instead, we get back to basics, the fundamentals of the property:
Location: Is the property in the right neighbourhood?
Market Potential: Is there precedence in the area for strong returns on renovated property?
Pricing: Is it priced right for a renovation investment?
Orientation: Does the house face the right way to maximise natural light?
Often, property that needs renovating are former rental properties and are frequently offered off-market. This can present unique opportunities for savvy buyers.
