Unlock the potential in your property!
Buying an older property and 'doing it up' is becoming a popular and often profitable hobby. The renovation
market is worth an estimated £15 billion each year, with over 300,000 planning applications submitted for
extensions, refurbishments, conversions and other home improvements. The average cost of a renovation property is
around £195,000 (source: www.plotsearch.co.uk), compared with the
average price of a new home at £255,835 (source: SmartNewHomes.com Index, February 2008). Recent changes in the law
have added a further incentive for renovation, with a reduction in VAT charged by tradesmen for work carried out on
a property that been vacant for two years or more, to just 5 per cent. The rising cost of mortgages and shortage of
suitable homes has driven many people to consider taking on a renovation project, and with an estimated 870,000
empty homes across the UK, it's rich pickings.
Those looking for guidance on any kind of renovation project, whether you are already a homeowner, looking to get
onto the property ladder, move up it or make a profit from property, can come along and see the pickupaproperty team
at the Renovation A-Z Weekend 24th & 25th May at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre in Swindon, where you
can get expert advice and ideas to save you time, money and hassle when upgrading, improving or refurbishing your property.
Renovation projects can present a host of problems, from rotten timber and dodgy wiring to leaky roofs and
draughty windows, and it's vital to tackle these issues properly. With presentations on avoiding the renovation
pitfalls and mistakes and understanding and interpreting your building survey, as well as a host of industry experts,
including loft experts, architects, design and planning experts and project managers, you can learn everything you
need to know to transform your property, at the Renovation A - Z Weekend.
You will also be able to search for a renovation property, with help from the pickupaproperty team, speak to
leading experts, tour the Renovation House, which demonstrates how to transform
an old wreck in to a des-res, and learn about the latest innovations and products for your renovation project,
including roofing, insulation, dealing with rot and pest infestation, damp proofing, and preventing subsidence -
all under one roof!
