Tight budget, big vision: How to maximise returns on investment when renovating your home

With a limited budget, how do you choose the home improvements that add the most value to your property and everyday life? Ellie, a serial DIY’er and mother of two, was faced with that very question after stretching her budget on a new home in dire need of renovation. In conversation with Charlie Luxton and Bindar Dosanjh – a property developer and founder of the Female Property Alliance – we explore the choices Ellie made in her project to understand how we can all transform our homes without breaking the bank while maximising the returns on our investments.  See photos of the renovation @velux on Instagram.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
