Cosmetic makeovers to improve rental returns

In the past landlords have had a much easier ride with letting properties and increasing their rental yields. Renters didn’t expect as much and were more accepting of homes that weren’t out of ‘Vouge Home’. However skip forward a few years (to now) and things are certainly changing!

Renters want and expect more for their money. And with so many people jumping into the investment market, it brings more rental properties and therefore more competition. What does that mean? Gone are the days of renters begging to lease a ‘rundown’ property because there was nothing else out there.

Room reconfiguration

If you need extra room but building an addition isn’t an option, you can divide a large room into two smaller rooms with a partition wall, or remove a wall to create a more open-plan space. Completing these projects can be ideal ways to make the best use of the space available, and staying within your home’s original footprint will help keep costs down.

The costs will vary widely depending on the scale of the project but our experts recommend a budget of $1200-$5000.

Products include, Laminated tops, Freestyle tops, Essa Stone & Grannit, to mention a few. Laminated bench tops would be the most commonly used product due to its price, availability and the extensive range of colours to choose from.

Installing Flat Pac kitchens eg Bunnings Kaboodle

Plunge in blind, and you’ll undoubtedly end up with a kitchen that looks like it’s been caught in a landslide. The secret to success, as always, lies in painstaking preparation, exacting measurements and devotion to detail.
