Batkin Ave
Recolouring the walls and trims in this bedroom modernises it, even while retaining the not-so-ideal existing curtains and rice paper light shade. more...
Martin Ave
With the feature wall painted out and a neutral design created in this lounge room, a ‘blank canvas’ is created for a potential purchaser to fall in love with. more...
Winifred St
Creating balance, depth and definition on this property was essential for modernising it. A paint job, new deck and ‘ready-lawn’ is all it took to considerably enhance the appeal of the exterior of this property (and it was certainly proven in the sale price!). more...
26a Glendon Ave
Renovating the fence to visually connect it to the house itself increases the aesthetic appeal from the road. Total cost for exterior works? Less than $4,000! more...
Connaught Ave
Water-blasting the exterior entirely and painting just the lower unit (owned independently of the upstairs unit) significantly modernises it. To tie it in with the upstairs unit (to create cohesion between the two) the trims of the upstairs unit are painted the same colour as the trims on the downstairs unit. Replacing the existing pergola with a new black canvas canopy further adds to the look for a cost of around $800. more...
Kemp Rd
Rather than spending upwards of $6,000 on new cabinetry, renovating this kitchen the Hotspace way cuts the cost to under $1000! more...
Lake Rd
Removing the old fashioned dark fire place visually ‘opens up’ this lounge room to create a more modern, usable space. more...
Bairds Rd
Lightening and brightening this kitchen for a cost of under $1000 helped achieve an approximate net profit (after all expenses) of $15,000 on this property in less than 3 weeks. more...
67 Eskdale Rd
A $30,000 net profit (after all expenses – renovation costs, holding costs, valuation, agents fees etc…) was achieved on the renovation of this property. Simple changes such as a partial paint job and tweaking the garden meant an overall spend of around $32,000. more...
Warren Ave
This tired two bedroom rental unit was purchased for $270k. After only one month of renovations (and a total cost of just $15k), it is now worth upward of $375k! Original rent earned was $240 per week and increased rent after renovation is $375 per week (which includes whitegoods). The yield has increased from around 4.5% to 7.2%. more...
