 Hi, I'm Owen Honey and you're watching Ready to Renovate for Builders and Private Property. I'm at the now fully renovated apartment here in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. It has taken six weeks from start to finish. You have seen how the contracting team renovated each room, the garden and even the garage. It is now ready for the final test. While the renovation impressed the property experts and more importantly increased the value of the property. The appraiser Khoshi Sasa from Mochalakwena Valuers and media personality and realtor Tito Titianba were invited to review the final reveal of the apartment. Hi guys, my name is Khoshi Sasa, property valuer. I've been brought in to come and put value on the property at the end here. I've been sent lips of the property look like before. Just going to see how it looks like and take it from there. Realtor Titianba then arrived to review the apartment. Hello, my name is Titianba, I'm a master practitioner in real estate and I've just been called to have a look at this apartment and I've actually just been sent a video of what it looked like before. We sent each other gents an identical clip of what the apartment looked like before the renovation. Here, that's the entrance there, got an old tub kitchen there. The kitchen looks a bit dated with those old wooden cupboards. Bathroom there, whoa okay, the shower. The shower looks a bit small and squashed for someone my size, it looks like I'll never fit in there. The bathroom reminds me of my grandmother's bathroom, old taps. There are some chips in those tiles as one can see there. Wow, look at that shower, shower curtains. In 2021. The bathtub has got some issues there, there's definitely need for some general maintenance. No curtains or blinds. The walls ever look quite dated, I definitely want to see what the walls are going to look like after. Even the bedroom cupboards and the skirting as well. Even the lighting and the lounge, the lighting features could do a bit of an upgrade. The lights look like original lights. Looking at the fittings, one can say it looks about between 15 and 20 years old. The garden looks like it needs to be greatly in the upgrade list. Interesting that they've got a price stand feature but there's no price stand there. So they've used the same tiles on the picture as inside. Yeah, no, no, no, no, I can't wait to see what this is going to look like after. I've really got ideas of what I would do. It looks like it needs some upkeep of sort and general maintenance. Let's go see how it looks like. Let's go check it out. Then with those images fresh in their memories, we invited the two to meet at the apartment and see the final presentation of the renovation themselves. Hi man, my name is Khoshi, property valour. Hi, my name is Titia, my realtor. Shall we go in? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, my brother. So Khoshi, what are your thoughts, my brother? I like the paint right, man. Smells fresh here. It does, right? It's nicely done, yeah. It really does. And it's got that scent. Yeah. It's newness. Yes, it says, come home. Yeah. And then you notice the lighting pictures. Yeah, it looks like they changed everything here. Got everything on the walls there. I love those shanty hair features. And did you notice that the plug points? Wow. Yeah, man. It looks nice. The sushi scent. Can you see the skettings as well? The skettings, yeah. The skettings there as well. The tiles. Wow. That's the first thing that I wanted to actually see when I was walking in. It bothered me earlier on because they had those small lines. They had chips all over. Yeah. But those old tiles. Yeah, the very small squared ones. Look at the wallpaper. The wallpaper changes everything. And I was worried about the fact that there were actually no curtains. I love the fact that they put in some nice railings. Nice railings. I noticed that the plants are quite a feature everywhere. They are quite well spaced out. Man, this is very inviting. Wow. Tropical bedroom. Wow. I feel like I'm somewhere on the seaside. Wow. Even the covered doors, remember they were quite woody. Yeah, they were woody. And they were all over. Lighting feature again. Gives you the tropical outdoor feel. Yeah. The plants again, I can see that they've really done a good job in terms of bringing in the nature into the space, eh? The rails again. Wow. There were no rails on the before, remember? Yes. They've done a great job, man. So this is the office. Look at the chandeliers, man. Wow. It's got a beautiful feel. Yeah, it's well done. You can tell that this is work, work, work. I'm assuming this is an office for someone who's living alone or a couple. And they've converted this into an office space. Especially because everyone is working from home. Yeah. It's actually quite smart of them to use the space productively so that you actually feel like you're walking into an office. Yeah, it's well thought. Love it. Yeah. Let's check out the bathroom. Your, your, your. My first impression is the shower door. I'm very impressed. Remember they had the curtain shower thing going. Yes. And the taps. Remember the taps were old and separated. Now they've got black taps. I think it's a trend these days with these black taps. Black taps, yeah. I've seen them. And the shower head. Ah. Thank goodness. And the shower is tight. But with the, with the, with the new shower head, you are in and out of time. Yeah. And I like, I like the, the way the tiling is done. Yeah. Yeah. Very pristine. The design of the tiles also creates an illusion of space. And you can see the two tones black and white. Yeah. And they created the ceiling as well. Nice and big. Whoever's going to, whoever's going to shower here first is going to be great. Good luck to them. Hoshi. Your thoughts? You know Artiti. Elia, I saw the stove. I can't tell but, but, but Marvel at this. This is nice. The countertops for me is something that stands out because I saw the old countertops and not the best. Do you see your favorite tap? Yeah. Black. Black, black. And then put the blinds as well. And now you can actually appreciate the, the space because now you've got space for microwave, washing machine. Yes. And then the fridge looks nice. And I love the fact that they've chosen silver as a theme here. Yes. Gray. Well, different shades of gray. And look at this. Very impressive. It's getting on the side here. It is told to avoid chips on the, on the, on the tiles. But there's also an illusion of space. Yeah. So you can actually prepare meals while having a conversation with your guests. Now the kitchen is really neutralized. It is. It's functional and beautiful. There's a lot of space here as well. Yeah. You can do a lot with this. Finally, outdoors, my brother. Outdoors, outdoors, outdoors. So beautiful. Wow. Okay. Hmm. You see this for me is a win. You can't have a space for a bride, not have a bride stand. Yeah. Now you can always find something. Ah. When you say come over the bride, you mean, look, look at the plants to tea. Earlier they had one little tree that I saw that didn't quite impress me. Yeah. But now no, this is nicely done. And I noticed the tiles have been carried out throughout as well. All the way through. Yes. And earlier what I saw as well. A lot of cute here. Yes. I've done a good job with that. Yeah. I didn't even notice this. Look at the garden. Look at that. Oh. It's nicely done, man. Finally, this garden actually looks like a decent garden, eh? And, and it being a ground floor, you need to imagine, garden is supposed to be pristine. Absolutely. Lovely. And you can see they put your lights as well. Even on the, on the, on the boundary wall. This is the garage. What are your impressions, my brother? I like it. Look at the paint work, man. They painted. Very neat, eh? And the storage as well. Exceptional neat. For a handy man like myself, this would be a lovely hobby. Yeah. The woodwork. Yeah. It's beautiful. So the theme is, is carried on, even with the light. Yes. So black. And they are black. Yeah. And look at the floor as well. Nicely done. You know where to place what. And when it is dead, you can easily pick it up as well. Yeah. Very impressive. Ah, I don't know. I like it. No, man. This is a beautiful place. Yes. It's a job well done. Definitely a job well done. So my immediate first impression when I walked in was the towels. That's the first thing that I actually noticed. The fact that they were grey and it was a beautiful shade of grey that was used. And the second thing that I noticed was the walls. The smoothness of the walls was something that was quite impressive for me. The lighting fixtures, the chandeliers stood out. The rest, this just made sense for me. So as a realtor, the first things that we look at in any, any home is the kitchen, the bathroom and of course the bedroom. Those are the main areas that most buyers actually look out for. And I was quite impressed with the level of detail that each space actually offered. In my opinion, the value of this apartment has definitely increased by probably 30 to 40 percent because a lot of work has gone into it. You can see that a lot of stuff was ripped away and replaced with new and modern finishes. That does have a great impact or a positive impact on the value of the apartment itself. So the other owners can be proud to ask for the price that they actually want. My first impression when I walked in with TT's, I liked the paintwork is beautiful. The tiling as well. Just the workmanship because for property value as well, we look at the workmanship more than anything when you walk in. My impression of the garden is they did very well because they save you water. There's artificial turf there. Based on what I've seen before on the previous pictures as now, I can almost confirm that the value of this apartment will go up in about, say, about 20 to 35 percent or so. It's very well done. From what I can see, they got everything out, started holding up from scratch. Everything is redone. It's just beautiful. The fittings are new. They did well. The tiling, the wallpaper, the painting, the light switches, the plugs. It's all modernized. It's just beautiful. They did a very good job. You get a feel that you're in an apartment. It's very well done. If you enjoyed the final reveal of Ready to Renovate with builders and private property, you can go and watch the transformation of the individual rooms and areas again on the builders and private property websites. All the products and materials that were used are available from builders online or in store. Until the next renovation, it's goodbye from me, Owen Honey. Get to builders. Get it done.
