Have you recently invested in a Real Estate Property in the Philippines that needs a major facelift? In other words…a renovation? Careful consideration must be made when making a renovation, so whatever you spend is a worthy investment. Recession is upon us and every peso counts.
Some ideas to spruce up that Philippine Real Estate Property of yours without selling your limbs:
1. Paint – A no brainer. Everyone knows a fresh coat of paint (in the right colors) gives life and offers a brand new view of a house or a condominium unit. This is Botox for the house.
2. Upgrade the kitchen – Instead of remaking the whole kitchen, why not change a few knobs here and there or better yet, open up the cupboards by removing the wooden doors and changing them into glass.

3. Add a garden or better yet add new plants - All you need are a few small plants, you don’t need to revamp the whole garden. Cut some branches and you’ll see your garden in a whole new light (because literally, you’re allowing a bit of light to get thru).
4. Move the furniture - you don’t have to buy brand new furnishing (for example, you’re renting out an apartment or condominium unit), just apply a few diy feng shui moves to the living room, or bedroom. If you’re feeling a bit generous, buy a second hand ottoman in one of those antique stores in Evangelista (remember to haggle!) and put it front and center. Make it the focal point of your living room or bedroom.
5. Let there be light – change the lighting fixtures! Shift to environmentally friendly light fixtures, and not only will you help the environment, you also cut down on electricity bill.
Whether an investment or your first home, your Philippines Real Estate Property will need a few fixing up every now and then, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. What other ideas can you share to renovate your house, apartment or condominium unit here in the Philippines that’s easy on the pocket? Do share!
Houses For Sale in the Philippines was built to feature houses in the Philippines worthy of selling to those who work hard for the money they have. It also stemmed from the unfortunate incident we had with buying a property that up to this day, was not turned over to us.
