Should I renovate?

For the vast majority of home owners, renovation means finding the right balance between what you would like and the financial resources you have available for the job. ANZ can help you with the finances to renovate your home, you just need to work out exactly how much you want to spend and where you want to spend it.

If you are planning to sell your property in the near future, then you need to consider the tastes of potential buyers. Renovations that are most likely to increase your resale value are a new kitchen, an extra bedroom or study, or an entertainment area such as decking or landscaping.

You also need to take into consideration the other houses in the area, if you renovate in a style inconsistent with the houses in your street, you could lower the value of your house.

The prices in the area are a good indication of how much you should spend. As a general rule, don’t spend more on your renovation than the best house in your street is worth. You need to make sure that you will recoup the amount that you spend. A real estate agent will be able to help you estimate how much to spend and what your returns will be.

There is also little use spending money renovating a house that is structurally unsound. It will mean that you won’t get the return on your investment.

If you are renovating for yourself, think about what you need now and what you’ll need in the future such as an extra room for a larger family or elderly parents or possibly a larger garage for a second car.

It is important to recognise and work with the assets your house has, for example an architect may be able to help reorganise your floor space so you have more living area and less dividing walls. An architect will also help you utilise natural light and heat sources.

If possible, it may be worth taking out a slightly larger mortgage when you buy the house, so you have the ability to make the changes you want before you move in.
