    Can anyone give me a rough guide as to what it might cost to do a basic reno (carpet, paint, kitchen/bathroom tile & Cupboard) on a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom unit of about 9 squares? Living on an island and hard to get quotes. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

    Where? On an island? Syd/Melb/Perth? Bourke?  It varies. Bottom of the range or Exec?

    Paint $500
    Floating floor $1500
    Blinds $1000
    Kitchen tops $1500
    New appliances $1500
    Lights $500
    New sliding door and window $2000
    Bits and bobs $500

    So for $10k I did a unit reno and then had it valued at $40k more. I did it all myself, but I have found unit renos to give more return on the $$. Just remember if it is a rental keep it cheap and cheerful.

    I would only use commercial type carpets and fittings. Don't use that flimsy Bunnings cheap junk. Remembers renters will never care as much about the place as you the owner will. Go to an auction to get all the general stufff. Retailers like Bunnings ('we never have sales', Harvey Norman ('Hardly Normal prices') are all rip offs!!!! You HAVE TO SHOP Around!
