4 Money tips for renovating
Your fund for your renovation, is and should be the dominant factor in determining the outcome. However, most people ( not in the industry ) are understandable, clueless. Here are most point to consider:

Also get advice from your local property professional to ensure you are in tune with what is in demand.
