This Ormond property presented a fantastic opportunity for a comprehensive renovation prior to going to market. While the home had good bones and a desirable location, years of wear and deferred maintenance had left it in need of significant updating across multiple areas. The goal of this home renovation Ormond project was to deliver a high-impact transformation within a two-month timeframe, creating a move-in ready home that would stand out in the local market and attract strong buyer interest.

Upon inspection, a number of key issues were identified. Moisture damage had affected sections of the ceiling and internal walls, and the exterior rendered surfaces showed visible cracking and weathering — all of which required attention before the property could be presented at its best. The kitchen, while functional, felt dated and out of step with the contemporary finishes buyers in Ormond have come to expect. Similarly, both bathrooms needed a full refresh to meet modern standards.

The timber flooring throughout the main living areas had dulled considerably and required sanding and re-coating to restore its natural warmth and character. Outdated light fittings, tired paintwork, and worn fixtures throughout the home further contributed to an overall impression that didn’t reflect the property’s true potential.

The scope of this home renovation Ormond project included:

• Full interior and exterior repainting
• Kitchen renovation with new cabinetry, benchtops, splashback, and appliances
• Bathroom and ensuite renovation with new tiling, vanities, tapware, and fittings
• Timber floor sanding and re-coating throughout the main living areas
• New carpet installation in all bedrooms
• Replacement of all door handles, hinges, and hardware
• New powerpoint and light switch covers throughout
• Updated light fittings in key living areas and bathrooms
• General repairs and touch-ups throughout the property

The entire renovation was completed within 60 days, allowing the vendor to bring the property to market quickly and capitalise on current buyer demand in the Ormond area.

The total renovation cost for this project was $125,000, with a projected increase in property value of approximately $200,000–$260,000, subject to market conditions at the time of sale — delivering a strong return on investment for the vendor.
