If you're renovating a rental property, where should you spend your money first? ๐ ๏ธ
The answer depends on your property and your budget, but here's where we'd usually start:

A clean, modern bathroom can make a huge difference to tenant appeal and help avoid maintenance issues down the line.

Often the heart of the home. Updating cupboards, worktops, lighting or appliances can instantly increase the perceived value of a property.

Fresh dรฉcor, durable flooring and good storage make rooms more attractive and easier to let, especially in HMOs where each room is marketed individually.

In shared houses, comfortable, well-presented living spaces help tenants feel at home and can improve tenant retention.

Never underestimate the impact of fresh paint, modern lighting and replacing tired fixtures. Smaller improvements can often deliver an excellent return on investment.
The best renovation isn't always the most expensive one, it's the one that adds the most value for your tenants and your rental income.
