Specialist property development website
-
www.renovation-secrets.co.uk - is warning amateur renovators
inspired by TV programmes such as Property Ladder that while there is
the potential to make money from property renovation, just one wrong
decision during the project could leave them out of pocket.
Professional property renovators work
on the basis that they will get at least a 20% profit, meaning that
property renovation can be a lucrative business. And, with the Spring
market just 6 months away, now is an ideal time to buy a property in
need of some TLC*.
However, says property expert Neil
Lewis from the website, many novice property renovators end up making
costly and time-consuming mistakes which can not only delay the
project but can blow the budget.
For example, obstacles that amateur
renovators face include:
- spending money on the wrong
improvement
- overlooking problems that prevent
the property selling quickly and easily overpaying workmen
- losing good workmen due to
underpaying
- choosing bad workmen who do a bad
job and end up costing more money and running over on time
Lewis explains: "Many people think
property development is easy - just buy a run down property, do it up
and sell it on for a profit! However, while professional property
renovators make it look like a get-rich-quick-scheme, this really
isn’t the case.
"They’ve had years’ of experience
behind them, so they know any potential pitfalls, as well as tricks of
the trade".
Until now, for most amateur property
renovators, knowing how to avoid these pitfalls is a case of
experience. However,
www.renovation-secrets.co.uk have published a guide to successful
property renovation, revealing the trade secrets and insider tricks of
managing costs and the project so that any profit can be maximised
from effective renovation.
From the ‘basic‘ issues (eg what to
do about squeaky floorboards; how to negotiate over and above 40%
discounts at trade merchants) up to free software that enables you to
calculate the true cost of your project (over 260 likely expenses),
the program is invaluable for anyone looking to renovate a property.
Suitable for Non-DIYers who want to
take control and maximise the profit of their property renovation, and
DIYers who want to go further, the book is available in both hard copy
and electronically and comes complete with a 21-day money back
guarantee.
And the three most common renovation
nightmares?
- ripping up the old carpets before
sanding the floor boards to discover that part of the floor has been
replaced with MDF
- pulling down the plaster and lath
only to discover more problems underneath
- a simple electrical fix blows the
whole circuit
