Factors To Consider When Budgeting an Apartment
Renovation
2

• Whether youve bought a rundown apartment for a
  renovation project that you hope will make you a
  profit, or are fed up with the style and look of
  your existing apartment but cant afford (or
  dont want) to move, the budget you have will
  likely determine the extent of the renovation
  work you can plan for.
• Here are some factors to take into account when
  considering, or planning for, an apartment
  renovation.
• What percentage of the apartments value should
  you plan to spend?

• Experts advise that you should spend between 6
  and 9 of the propertys value when renovating,
  in order to ensure a good return on investment.
  Naturally, this figure varies significantly from
  one project to another, depending on the size of
  the apartment and where its located, but this
  should be used as a general guideline.
• The bigger the apartment, the higher the cost
• It goes without saying that the bigger your
  apartment is, the more money youre likely to
  have to spend on it, but it does depend where you
  choose to spend the bulk of your budget. For
  instance, if you choose to paint the walls or
  replace the flooring, this type of renovation
  work wont be as costly as renovating the kitchen
  or bathroom.

• Speculate to accumulate
• Sometimes, to get the best return on your
  investment, you have to spend more money, and if
  the layout of the apartment doesnt function
  well, it might be worth investing in some
  remodeling work, such as removing walls to make
  the kitchen and living space into one, large
  room.
• But spending more money on something to get a
  good return still means that you need to think it
  through carefully and decide which work will get
  you the best return on your investment. For
  example, when it comes to apartment renovations,
  bathrooms are generally more expensive than
  kitchens, and a few small changes such as new
  countertops and kitchen cupboards, can breathe new

• life into an outdated kitchen and make it a more
  appealing space, while bathrooms typically
  require new suites, fixtures and fittings etc.
• Finding the middle ground
• Managing your budget and spending enough, without
  spending too much, is key to a successful
  apartment renovation, and discussing the project
  in detail with a local construction company who
  specialize in renovations and remodeling, can
  help give you a more realistic and sensible
  perspective.

6

• You want your apartment to be a fantastic space
  to live in or you want to be able to sell it
  for a good price but not at the expense of
  leaving yourself broke. Try looking at other
  apartments for sale in your area and see what
  your competition is before deciding on the extent
  of renovation work you want carried out.
