Advice about renovating before selling can sound convincing until you see how it plays out in the real world. Over time, we’ve watched renovation decisions influence sale prices, buyer behaviour, and negotiation outcomes — sometimes in ways that surprise people.

Here we share real examples drawn from actual renovation and sale scenarios. These case studies aren’t meant to be copied step-by-step; they’re here to show patterns, trade-offs, and consequences. Seeing what worked, what didn’t, and why can make it much easier to sense-check your own decisions before committing to them. (link to our projects page too)
