I'm currently renovating my 2 bedroom place. It's a unit, not an apartment. It's old (1950's) but in a good part of Melbourne (Malvern).
Although I live in I might sell it in the next few years and need to keep resale value in mind.
I currently have a split system airconditioner in the bedroom that of course doubles as a heater. I also have a very old gas heater in the lounge (as old as the unit).
I'm getting rid of the lounge heater. Here is the question. Should I replace it with a new gas space heater? OR should I get central heating for the whole place.
The price of a space heater with installation will be about 2K. A good 4 star central heating is about $3500 - $4000.
I live by myself, so I'm not fussed either way from a lifestyle point of view.
BUT from a resale point of view, would getting central heating make a big difference to the selling price?
