During the first two months of 2015, Australians spent $1 billion on home renovations or more than $100 million every week.
In particular, DEPPRO has found that during 2015 there has been an upswing activity by investors who are taking advantage of low interest rates to purchase properties for renovation purposes.
Focus on the front of the home as this will improve the street appeal of the property.
If you are employing a builder to undertake your home renovations, check that they belong to a professional building organisation such as the Housing Industry Association of Western Australia. In addition, you can ask them to view recent work which they have undertaken in the local area.
