Ready to sell Renovations

Since the ultimate intention was to sell, Carrie didn’t want to overinvest. She got in touch with local Renovation Consultants

Expanding the project scope

Seeing as the entranceway is the first impression of a home and St. Heliers is a highly desirable location, the additional investment made sense and had the potential for a considerable return. Carrie recognised this opportunity and opted to add the foyer renovation to the project’s scope. 

Problem solving

While the majority of the project ran smoothly, scheduling the contractors around the tile installation in the foyer was a challenge. Not only is it the main entrance to the property, it’s also a major artery that connects the garage to the main house and the upper levels to the lower, so having it out of order was an issue. John and Maree scheduled the tile installation into two phases so that access was never restricted and the rest of the renovation could continue. 

Thanks to their clever solution, Carrie’s project stayed on track and was completed in seven weeks, adhering to the $25,000 estimate.

Modern spaces

Utilising a neutral palette allows the spaces to remain universally attractive to a wide pool of buyers. The increased functionality and the knowledge that repairs won’t be necessary anytime soon add to the home’s attractiveness for buyers.

As for the entranceway, the updated flooring has completely changed the space, creating a pristine and modern first impression, setting the tone for the rest of the home — a strategic decision while preparing to go to market. 

Will Refresh® take care of any required consent applications?

Absolutely! Generally, bathroom renovations which stay within an existing layout do not require council approval, however, if you are adding a new bathroom or making considerable structural changes, the Refresh® Auckland Central team will take care of the entire consent application process on your behalf.

Final Thoughts

John and Maree are proud of this transformation and the fantastic results they’ve delivered for Carrie. Without their clever solutions, smart problem-solving, and professional recommendations, the return on Carrie’s investment may not have been as impactful.
