Renovation Readiness Check
Most buyers find out what a renovation really costs after they've exchanged. Take 90 seconds now and find out what you know, what you don't, and which gaps could cost you thousands.
How you're buying changes how fast you need answers.
Size moves the numbers — rewiring a five-bed isn't rewiring a two-bed.
Tap what applies — honest trade ranges appear as you select, scaled to your property size.
Older properties hide more. That's not a criticism — it's physics.
Your result
These ranges are real. Every property is different — and an online estimate will never replace an experienced builder's eye.
Still not sure which is right for you? Message us the listing and we'll tell you straight.

Renovation budgets built on guesswork fail at the worst moment — after you've committed. This tool is built for the pre-purchase decision: tick the works you know the property needs, set your budget, and get a realistic cost range in 90 seconds. Not a generic calculator — a check specifically for buyers who haven't exchanged yet.
