Hello
I am setting myself a 20000 dollar budget to do up one of my existing properties, currently valued at about 150,000 other houses in the area selling for over 300,000.
House currently pulls 160 per week rent, was built in 1968, and has not had a lick of paint since, it has no defects apart from cosmetic (maybe guttering) Other houses get well over 260 per week.
My questions are :
What materials have the right mixture of
Popularity/timelessness/cost.
Some materials I have thought of for their good looks and relative cheap cost.
Glass Bricks
Ceramic floors
Frameless shower
Halogen down lights
French doors
Other materials I have discounted as being to expensive.
any marble
Limestone tiles
granite cooktops
wooden floors
parquetry (way too expensive).
Has anyone had any experience with any of these products with regard to renovation or even in your own house.
Can you reccomend DIY kitchens (flat packs) I have reasonable DIY skills however have had a few shockers in my time.
Also is a lockup garage a worthwhile investment. Any ideas on what to do with the garden.
Regards Adam
