If you're renovating a rental property, where should you spend your money first? 🛠️
The answer depends on your property and your budget, but here's where we'd usually start:
𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 🚿
A clean, modern bathroom can make a huge difference to tenant appeal and help avoid maintenance issues down the line.
𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻🍽️
Often the heart of the home. Updating cupboards, worktops, lighting or appliances can instantly increase the perceived value of a property.
𝗕𝗲𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀🛏️
Fresh décor, durable flooring and good storage make rooms more attractive and easier to let, especially in HMOs where each room is marketed individually.
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 🛋️
In shared houses, comfortable, well-presented living spaces help tenants feel at home and can improve tenant retention.
𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀🎨
Never underestimate the impact of fresh paint, modern lighting and replacing tired fixtures. Smaller improvements can often deliver an excellent return on investment.
The best renovation isn't always the most expensive one, it's the one that adds the most value for your tenants and your rental income.
