The methods we use

Why Add-Value?Six ways the maths can work.

By adding instant value to your property, you can manufacture instant equity, grow your portfolio, increase rent return and cash flow, reduce vacancy periods and achieve a higher selling price. It is not as simple as getting tradespeople in to just do everything - a lot of due diligence and knowledge is needed to ensure that you actually increase the value of your property by more than what you spend. At Aus Property Professionals, we will do all the due diligence for you to ensure that any work you do to the property will in fact add value.

Method 01

Cosmetic renovation

Kitchen, bathroom, flooring, paint, landscaping. The fastest value-add path - typical 6–10 week project, immediate revaluation.

$25–80kTypical spend → 2–3x return
Method 02

Structural renovation

Extension, second storey addition, internal reconfiguration. Larger commitment, larger uplift - typically 4–9 month projects.

$120–400kSpend dependent on scope
Method 03

Duplex development

Demolition and dual-occupancy build on a single title. Our signature strategy - the right site can deliver $200k+ of manufactured equity.

$700–950kAll-in build cost typical
Method 04

Subdivision

Subdividing an existing block to release a second titled lot. Faster than building, lower risk, lower return - but still strong on the right sites.

$60–120kSurveying + council + connections
Method 05

Granny flat / DPU

Detached secondary dwelling under SEPP or LEP. Boosts cash flow significantly and adds approximately the cost of the build to property value.

$160–240kTurnkey 2-bed DPU
Method 06

Re-purposing & re-positioning

Converting a 3-bed to 4-bed, garage to studio, dual-key configuration. Smallest spend, surgical uplift on the right floorplan.

$15–60kHigh return per dollar invested

What Do You Look For?

We carefully look at comparable properties in the area that have recently sold, to ensure that you do not over capitalise. If similar properties are selling for a similar price to what your property is currently worth, but they have new kitchens and bathrooms, then updating these items should not be considered and we will look at alternatives which could simply be cosmetic such as painting and flooring, landscaping for better street appeal and so on.

We also consider the demographics of the area, making sure that any changes you make will actually suit the people living there and their lifestyles. Adding a secondary dwelling or subdividing your block can provide some great results. We generally aim to increase your property's value by $2-$3 for every $1 spent. Our value-add strategies are all tailored to suit your specific property and the area that it is located in - there is no single strategy that will suit every property out there.
