First Home Renovation

In Auckland’s competitive property market, first-home buyers are often priced out of new builds and move-in-ready homes. But there’s a smarter strategy: buy an older home in a good area—and renovate it.

At The Renovation Team, we offer cost-effective, fixed-price renovation packages designed for first-home buyers. Our projects are delivered on a fixed timeline, so there are no budget blowouts or delays—just peace of mind and a beautiful home tailored to your lifestyle.
We also work with trusted finance partners to help you secure renovation funding, which can often be refinanced once the work is complete. It’s a practical way to improve your home and financial position at the same time.

Many of our clients gain instant equity once their renovation is finished—often enough to cover the renovation costs or put toward a future investment.

Alex and Vivian’s First Home Transformation – Ellerslie

Here’s what Alex and Vivian had to say:
“It exceeded our expectations.” – Vivian
“James made it all easy for us.” – Alex
“The overall quality in just 6 weeks, without any major issues.” – Alex

Alex and Vivian enjoyed turning their first home in Ellerslie, Auckland into something more than just bricks and mortar—it became a space that truly reflected their lifestyle and future plans.
With the help of The Renovation Team’s unique and sophisticated renovation framework, we successfully converted their two-bedroom home into a three-bedroom haven, giving it a fresh, modern look—all completed in just 6 weeks.
Based on their needs and budget, we created a tailored, cost-effective plan and maintained clear, open communication from start to finish.
Simon and Alice, first home buyers in Birkenhead, North Shore, wanted to upgrade their three-bedroom home to better suit their growing needs. With two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs, the layout wasn’t working—and with a limited budget, they needed a smart, cost-effective solution.
At The Renovation Team, we helped them transform their home in just 5 weeks, delivering a stylish and functional upgrade that added real value without breaking the bank.
What we achieved:
• Converted the home from 3 bedrooms to 4 bedrooms
• Built a modern kitchen with engineered stone benchtops and premium appliances
• Added a beautiful en-suite tailored to their style
• Installed French doors for seamless indoor-outdoor flow
• Replaced carpet and added laminate flooring in the kitchen
• Installed a new hot water cylinder for better performance
The renovation was completed on time and under $60,000, proving that you can achieve high-quality results without overspending.

Simon and alice`s Home Renovation From 3 to 4 Bedrooms Under $60K

Buying your first home in Auckland can feel impossible—especially in high-demand areas like Mount Eden, where renovated homes are often out of reach. Maria, a first-time buyer, faced this exact challenge. Instead of giving up, she purchased a rundown property for $510,000 and partnered with The Renovation Team. We helped her secure a fixed-price renovation of $60,000, removing the guesswork and financial uncertainty. Since Maria didn’t have the renovation funds upfront, we connected her with a trusted finance partner who made it possible. The transformation was stunning. After renovations, the home's value increased to $650,000. Maria refinanced, paid off the renovation, and walked away with $80,000 in equity. Her journey shows how the right guidance can turn challenges into opportunity. At The Renovation Team, we help first-home buyers renovate smart, build equity, and get into the Auckland property market with confidence
