Renovating or adding an extra entertaining area with a deck/patio can add substantial value to your property, increase your social life and take full advantage of the remarkable Gold Coast weather. The cost of buying and selling a property can be very expensive. There are agent fees, conveyancing fees, solicitor fees, advertising fees, bank fees, moving costs and stump duty has doubled in recent years in Queensland. These costs can easily add up to tens of thousands of dollars in fees. Instead, you could save these costs and transform your current family home into the perfect dream home you always wanted whilst also increasing the value of your property.
