What renovation ideas are currently popular in Inner East Melbourne?

With the housing market as hot as it is in Melbourne, you may be tempted to test your luck. Sometimes, a renovation is needed for you to get top dollar as a seller. If that’s the case, roofing, refurbishing timber floors, and kitchen renovations are all great projects to increase your property’s value. Shingles, clay or concrete tiles, and corrugated steel are all common roofing materials in Melbourne. Our Renovation Consultants can help with all of these in addition to any other projects you may be considering for your property. 

If you’d rather invest in your home for the long haul, renovating is often the more affordable route to your fully customised dream home.

Do home renovations increase your property's value in Melbourne?

It depends on the project, but more often than not a professionally executed renovation will increase your property’s value. It’s important to note that all renovations are not created equal. Just because someone in Boroondara’s kitchen renovation added $25,000 to their property value doesn’t mean that a bathroom renovation in Ringwood or Manningham will yield the same results. Neighbourhood, space(s) renovated, comparable properties, and quality of craftsmanship are all variables that contribute to whether or not your property value will increase and by how much.

Do you need home insurance for renovations in Melbourne? 

Renovations may not be covered by your existing insurance, so be sure to review your individual policy and let your provider know that your property is undergoing renovations before getting started.
