The renovation I did over time on my former ppor. Was never sure what to do about the street appeal but I think I sorted it. Only thing is is a bit flat at the front. Future possibility is to turn garage into rumpus and double carport out front. That will give it a more 3 dimensional look. But wouldn't get much more rent for that outlay but would be worth doing if sell or use as ppor again. I didn't do much to kitchen and bath still has dated tiles and bench but will look at sorting that later. Here's the befores (Moderator there is a problem with the mobile interface and it keeps duplicating. Feel free to delete the duplicates only)
After unfortunately the photographer for the rental agency didn't take a photo of the entertainment area under the patio it's actually quite big 8 metres by 4 metres I was a bit annoyed about that because it looks small in the distance but actually when you're under it it feels really big because it's a fly over as well
Major costs: Patio: $9200 incl council Brickie to smash out arches and sills and tidy $1000 Render $4k Roof paint $1700 (sealed then dulux acratex 2 coats he only factored in for 1 I reckon at that price but got him in trouble with dulux as he said he would do 2 so he came back) Floor tiles $3200 including tiles (8 yrs ago). Splashback $500 8 yrs ago Carpets $1500 Paints $1200? Blinds $350 approx Handles and lights $1200 approx Shower screen and vanity wasn't done by me. So about $26k. Rent in 2008 was $360. Just rented for $455. Had to be done because freaking ugly. Zilch street appeal
My favorite part is flooring and render awesome work! Do you have photo of patio that you take yourself?
Does anyone have any suggestions. Analysis or genuine constructive criticism with helpful intent? Looking to learn.
Removing the arches has made it look 10x better.. What about the bathroom floor tiles? Paint a darker colour?
Totally agree. I have some that match the rest of the house to put on top but I will do that when the vanity needs replacing. I thought about painting them but they are in good condition and tile paint on the floor will just wear down I think
Painting, handles, blinds, skirting, and all landscaping. Gates with my mate. Rendering, tiling and patio were all qualified tradies.
Can 100% recommend White Knight Tile Paint. Although not recommended for floors, we did an ensuite with them and it stood up to several years of traffic.
