Frequently Asked Question
Should I do a full renovation or just a pre-sale makeover before selling?
A pre-sale makeover is usually the smarter choice, focusing on high-impact improvements that increase appeal without unnecessary expense. A full renovation is reserved for properties with significant structural or system issues.
The difference is straightforward: a pre-sale makeover is strategic and focused, whilst a full renovation is comprehensive and extensive. A makeover targets the most visible areas and quick wins that influence buyer perception without unnecessary expense. A full renovation addresses everything, including structural work, major replacements, and upgrades throughout the property. For most sellers, a makeover is the smarter financial decision.
Before selling, you're investing to increase appeal and value quickly. A full renovation can be excessive; money spent on features you'll never enjoy doesn't provide the same satisfaction as it does when you're staying. Additionally, overly personalised upgrades don't always return their cost. A strategic makeover focuses on neutral, universally appealing improvements that resonate with the broadest range of buyers.
The right approach depends on your property's current condition and your timeline. If your home is generally sound but looks tired, a makeover is the logical choice. If there are significant structural issues or major systems need replacing, these must be addressed regardless. During an onsite inspection, FeaturePoint Constructions can assess your property and advise whether a makeover is sufficient or if more extensive work is necessary for your Port Melbourne property to achieve its full market potential.
