That’s where we come in—our Tauranga-based team of renovation specialists is here to make the process seamless, enjoyable, and ultimately, profitable for you.
Why Renovate?
In today’s real estate market, renovating can be a passion project and a lucrative investment. Strategic renovations can transform an outdated house into a modern, appealing home that stands out in the market. With careful planning, renovations can bring in a minimum 200% return on your investment. At RM Build, we focus on these smart changes, guiding you through each stage of your home’s transformation.
Property Selection: The Foundation of a Successful Renovation
Before diving into a renovation, it’s crucial to start with the right property. Property investment experts like Steve Goodey stress that homes with cosmetic needs often provide the best return on investment. Homes that are outdated but structurally sound offer an excellent canvas for improvement. For example, a derelict house may require costly repairs just to make it liveable, reducing profit margins and increasing the stress of the renovation. On the other hand, a well-maintained but outdated home is ripe for upgrades, which can be more cost-effective and rewarding in the long run.
Cosmetic Changes: The Smartest Investment
Not all renovations are created equal, and RM Build specializes in making smart, cost-effective upgrades. One of the easiest ways to improve the appearance and value of your home is through cosmetic changes. Simple improvements like new flooring, fresh paint, and updated window treatments can dramatically transform your space without breaking the bank. In fact, experts like Goodey and Michael Burge agree that with a budget of around $50,000, focusing on these elements can double your investment with a $100,000 return.
Our renovation company in Tauranga offers expert advice on selecting high-impact, affordable updates. Whether it’s choosing paint colours or selecting modern finishes, we ensure your renovation decisions lead to the greatest return on your investment.
Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations: Key Areas for Value
When it comes to renovating, kitchens and bathrooms are critical spaces that buyers notice first. A simple, like-for-like replacement can make all the difference. Moving plumbing or altering the layout can quickly drive up costs, but by focusing on upgrading fixtures, cabinets, and countertops, you can achieve a modern, stylish look without overspending. RM Build’s team of Tauranga renovation specialists will guide you through these important decisions, helping you upgrade these key areas while staying on budget.
The Importance of “Newness”
One often-overlooked factor in a successful renovation is the sensory experience of a newly renovated space. Fresh paint and new carpet not only improve the look of your home but also enhance the feel. Experts advise keeping renovated areas closed until showings to preserve that fresh, new-home scent, which adds an undeniable appeal to potential buyers.
At RM Build, we ensure every detail of your renovation, down to the quality of underlay for carpets, is carefully considered to create a home that feels as good as it looks.
Modern and Neutral: A Broad Appeal
When renovating, it’s tempting to go bold with your design choices, but simplicity sells. A modern, clean, and neutral design aesthetic appeals to the widest range of buyers. While it’s possible to add personality through staging and decor, the permanent elements of your home should remain relatively neutral to attract more potential buyers. Our design team at RM Build understands this balance and will help you create a space that is both beautiful and universally appealing.
