Have just bought a cheap house in brisbane which needs a basic reno.
We've worked out most of the things that we're doing, but are uncertain as to the best flooring to use. Currently there is carpet which needs replacing , and at this stage we are uncertain to the state of the floor boards underneath. It's not on a slab.
Bathroom / toilet tiles are in good condition.
Alternatives I've noticed in similar houses are
1 If floor boards are ok , get it sanded / "varnished". If not get "floating timber floor".
2 Tiled ( property manager keen on that ) but I have a genetic dislike of fully floored houses ( but I'm not living there )
3 Carpeted every where except kitchen / bathrooms. ? timber or vinyl in kitchen.
4 Carpet in lounge / bedrooms with vinyl in high wear areas and dinning room.
Would appreciate peoples thoughts on what they've found has been the best alternatives , not necessarily just in terms of price , but also in terms of low maintainence , maintaining looks and renter preference.

it's better to be guided by your dreams than your fears
