    Hey guys,

    We keep getting stuck on what to do to our property so I thought I’d throw it up on here and see what suggestions I get.

    We have a post war 3 bed 1 bath on 665sqm. The house is currenlty 88sqm and sits at the front of the block. The block slopes slightly, there’s 4 stairs at the front and 7 at the back.

    We really want to add a deck, update our kitchen and put our laundry inside (it’s currently outside the back door). I’d be happy with a simple Euro-style laundry in our kitchen cupboards.

    We wouldn’t be opposed to adding a master suite either but it’s not a necessity. We figure an extra bedroom and bathroom would increase the value of the house a fair bit but we also don’t want to overcaptilise.

    Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated!

    What’s stopping you from what seems to be a minor update (deck, kitchen, laundry)?

    What’s your budget?

    That’s what we’re thinking. Update the kitchen and laundry and add a deck.

    No idea how much it would cost. Maybe a budget of $30k? If that would be reasonable

    Well, the only way to find out is get some quotes.
