Property transactions are lengthy, complex processes with reams of documentation and, with so many South Africans either living or travelling abroad and others moving to different provinces, it’s not always possible for buyers or sellers to be available to attend to all that’s necessary.

Remodelling can be a great way to turn a tired property into a dream home, but taking on a renovation project isn't always smooth sailing - and not all upgrades are equal.
