Renovation Readiness Check

Buying a property that needs work. How prepared are you?

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.

I'm buying…

How you're buying changes how fast you need answers.

Where is the property?

How many bedrooms?

Size moves the numbers — rewiring a five-bed isn't rewiring a two-bed.

Do you know what works the property needs?

Tick everything on the list

Tap what applies — honest trade ranges appear as you select, scaled to your property size.

Have you viewed it in person?

Is a survey done or booked?

How old is the property?

Older properties hide more. That's not a criticism — it's physics.

Do you have a renovation budget in mind?

Know what a renovation will cost before you make an offer

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.
