Renovate Now, Pay Later. No Financial Checks & Zero Upfront Costs
Why Renovate Before You Sell?
Renovating before selling can deliver measurable uplift in sale outcomes, particularly when improvements align with buyer expectations. Strategic updates can enhance presentation, attract more interest, reduce negotiation pressure, and increase sale price. However, renovation spend must be balanced against market norms to ensure you don’t exceed what buyers will pay in Canberra’s competitive property market.
- Boost property value: Kitchen renovations can increase value by 10–15 %; bathroom upgrades around 8–12 %
- Enhance presentation: Fresh paint, new flooring, improved lighting, and landscaping make your home more appealing to buyers.
- Sell faster: Move-in-ready, well-presented homes attract more buyers and often spend less time on the market.
- Reduce negotiation pressure: Addressing repairs and outdated features before listing limits buyer objections and price reductions.
- Avoid overcapitalisation: Focus on strategic, functional upgrades that match local market expectations to maximise return.
In today’s market, presentation matters more than ever. Well-presented homes sell faster and attract stronger offers because buyers can instantly see how the space works and imagine themselves living there. Research shows professionally styled properties can sell significantly
quicker than unstaged homes, with many selling up to 70% faster and achieving higher perceived value among buyers. (can we refer to a link here or is that not the done thing?)
At Your Property Profits, we help Canberra homeowners unlock hidden value through strategic, high-impact renovations. We only put money where we know it will bring
you a return!! As trusted local renovation specialists, we know exactly which improvements deliver the strongest results. From reconfiguring layouts to add bedrooms or bathrooms, to new kitchens, bathrooms and connections to outdoor spaces, we transform how your home looks, feels, and functions to maximise appeal and price – without overcapitalizing!!

What Our Clients Have to Say
“We outgrew our first home and knew it was time to sell. Sophie transformed our property from well-loved to wow, and helped us achieve a sale price we never thought possible. Sophie's knowledge and expertise took all the stress out of our first-time sale. We couldn't be happier with the result. We definitely would never sell any other way, thank you so much.”
Paul
Homeowner, Holt ACT
"The service Sophie and her team provides is a game changer for house sellers. Her unique business model, based on her genuine care for her clients, represents a reduction in selling risk and a win-win situation for all involved. Sophie is thorough, skilled, has incredible vision and an enormous talent for renovating for profit. Throughout the process, she gave regular updates and the result we achieved at the end reflected her hard work, creativity and expertise. Our renovation benefited from the industry contacts Sophie has worked hard to build and my family benefited from having Sophie in our lives for the duration of the project. Sophie and Your Property Profits have my highest praise and most ardent recommendation."

Agent Testimonials
"Soph & YPP are amazing to work with. Nothing is too much effort for these amazing, full of life people. They take
onboard all of our suggestions around what is happening in the market place and what the buyers want. They go that
extra mile to make sure the home looks beautiful from top to bottom. The property was always clean and always ready
if I needed to take a buyer. I think they made my job very easy with the product they produce - these homes sell
themselves. You can tell with the sale prices and competition at auction that in a tough market, their work has a
massive effect. When I first saw their most recent project I did not think we could even sell that house as it was, but after
YPP's involvement we were able to get an amazing price. I really enjoy working with Sophie to help vendors move onto
the next step of their lives and I cant wait to do it again."
