Upgrade first, then sell or let
The gap between a home as it stands and a home that is ready is often worth more than the work costs. We appraise it, plan it, find the capital and run it, priced the way a lender would price it.
Three reasons to upgrade
Sell for more
Buyers pay for certainty. A finished home reaches a wider market, sells faster and loses the discount for the unknown.
Let for more
A licence, a working kitchen and good beds earn a higher rate and longer seasons.
Share it
Co-ownership buyers want homes that are ready on day one. An upgrade opens the home to the Homebase co-ownership model.
Six steps from potential to exit
Find the gap
What the home is worth as it stands, and what it is worth finished. If the gap does not cover the work with a margin, we say so.
Appraise it properly
Costs, permits, time, a buffer and the value at the end, the way a lender reads a project.
Plans and permits
Drawings and permits with our architect, priced before a wall comes down.
The capital
Your own money, Homebase Finance, or partner capital repaid from the uplift.
One team runs it
One project lead, a fixed scope, weekly photos and the budget in writing.
Sell, share or let
The exit you chose at the start: a sale, co-ownership or rental.
The same language as your lender
