Pre-Home Purchase Renovation Appraisal

1hr Onsite Visit $295 (incl. GST)

One of the most exciting parts of buying a new home is thinking about the improvement possibilities for that home, to either increase its market value (if you’re looking to flip), or enhance its overall floorplan flow or aesthetic as your family home for the long term.

But:

  • How much will your design ideas actually cost to build?

  • Are your ideas allowable within local planning controls?

  • Is the home you’re intending to buy structurally sound to accommodate your design vision? Or will you need to invest to make it structurally sound before you can begin the design?

Essentially, how much of your overall budget do you need to keep aside for your renovation, so that you can know your ceiling auction bid?

MILEHAM's Pre-Home Purchase Renovation Appraisal with James Pilcher gives you an Architect and builder's experienced insight and knowledge to understand the structural requirements, planning avenues, and design/build cost estimates you need to account for in your overall budget, before the hammer falls.

What other clients have said about their appraisal -

“I recently had the pleasure of working with James for a Pre-Home Purchase Renovation Consultation, followed by a renovation consultation. I was interested in a property that seemed great, but I needed thorough validation due to the quick timeline.

From start to finish, James was professional, detailed, and exceptionally knowledgeable. His meticulous inspection gave me complete confidence to proceed with the purchase, which I did right after our consultation.

James articulated the pros and cons of the property clearly, ensuring I understood exactly what I was getting into. The renovation consultation was equally impressive - he offered creative, practical ideas that aligned perfectly with my vision and budget. It’s clear why they’ve won awards! I highly recommend James and the MILEHAM team for anyone seeking expert advice.”
