5 properties for your next renovation project
When it comes to buying a property, choosing somewhere in need of TLC and modernisation can be a great option, as this not only allows you to really make the place your own, it can also save you money in the buying process by opting for a less expensive property that requires some renovation.
If you have some DIY skills you’re looking to flex, or are perhaps hoping to add value to a property that is in need of upgrading, you can find your next renovation project on ASPC and discover a property which you can really put your own stamp on.
In this blog post, we’ve shared 5 flats currently on the market across Aberdeen city and shire, all of which would make excellent renovation projects for those searching for a DIY challenge.
