Do you want to sell a house but you need to do some work to make it more attractive? Or have you bought a house but you have to renovate it? Do you know who to call and what works to perform, but what documents do you have to submit? This is the guide for you.
Renovate without any worries Before starting the renovation works, it is important to have a clear idea of what shape the house should take. Whether it is small changes or large works, it is good to have in mind a defined project, with the changes that you want to make, the order of the work, the materials to be used and the budget to be respected.
Whether it is destined to the sale or the house, three are the macro types of intense activities that can be realized:
ordinary maintenance: these include the replacement and updating of the houses’ finishes and that provide for an almost fast renovation. This is the most common case, and recommended, if you want to make the house neater and cozy to sell it. The Kaaja guide "3 advices to sell your perfect house" illustrates some improvements to be made to highlight the strengths of your home without much effort;
extraordinary maintenance: are interventions that involve the structural parts of the house, without altering the volumes and surfaces of individual units and do not change the intended use and the cadastral category of the property;
building renovation: it is the renovation that most affects the house. Indeed, it is possible to modify the structure, the volume and the width of the surface, by raising perimeter walls, building new areas of the house underground or above ground, or installing light artifacts.
Now, you know the type of work and it is important to be informed about the work permits.
