We asked a local homeowner about their recent experience when upgrading their rental property.
“When our tenants moved out of our rental property, we decided it was time to give the property a bit of TLC. We were keen to ensure the home was looking good for the next 5-10 years, that we were able to attract a good quality tenant and were able to maximise our investment by charging a rent that was equal to the quality of the home.
“As we are based overseas we were not able to oversee the project ourselves so it was really important that we found someone we could trust to take care of it for us.
“We heard about Mike from Oncore Auckland Central via a family member who attends a BNI networking group.
“We left no area of the property untouched.”
· Roof tile clean, repair, repoint, paint.
· Full interior and exterior paint.
· The kitchen needed an upgrade and in the end we decided to replace it with a new one. The new design fitted into the space really well despite the surprises found once the old kitchen was removed (wonky walls and hidden cavities). Consequently we had to make a few changes to our original plans.
· The bathroom and toilet still had some longevity but were looking a little tired. Mike recommended the grout was cleaned, reinstallation of the bath screen which was coming apart, a new mirror and extractor fan. A great result in the end for a lesser budget.
· Hardwood floors were sanded and varnished and new carpet was installed in the bedrooms.
· The old fireplace was removed and a heat pump installed.
· New electrics, smoke alarms and house alarm.
· The laundry was probably the most affected by time and, due to a leak, the floor and part of the walls had to be replaced. The end result in here after new electrics, a fresh paint and some new floor vinyl was a lovely fresh laundry.
· The front yard needed to be fully enclosed for children and dogs and installation of Durafence fixed this.
"Mike and his team of trades were able to take care of it all for us. They were fantastic throughout the project and achieved a great outcome that we are really happy with."
