Renovations That Prepare Jerusalem Properties for Better Long-Term Renting

Our renovation and upgrade division exists to support the properties we manage. When a property needs more than a repair, we plan and coordinate the work to improve its condition, presentation, rental appeal and potential rental value — with the same approval and reporting process as everything else we do.

01Management first

Renovation decisions made by people who manage rentals.

A contractor’s job ends when the work is finished. Ours continues for years afterwards — so we recommend work that makes sense for a long-term rental: durable finishes, sensible layouts, and improvements that tenants value, rather than the most expensive option.

Because we manage the property, we already know its history, its building and its tenants. Work can be timed between tenancies, and the tenant search can begin as soon as the property is ready.

Property Management

02What we handle

From a refresh between tenants to a full renovation.

  1. Repairs and refreshes between tenants

    The work that brings a property back to a good standard after a tenancy ends.

  2. Painting and cosmetic upgrades

    Often the most cost-effective improvement to how a property presents.

  3. Kitchen and bathroom improvements

    From replacing fittings and fronts to full refurbishment.

  4. Flooring and lighting

    Durable flooring and better lighting that change how a property feels.

  5. Furnishing and design

    Furnishing a property to let furnished, chosen for durability as well as appearance.

  6. Full renovation coordination

    Larger projects planned, priced and supervised from start to handover.

03How renovation work is managed

Scope, approval, budget and updates — agreed before anything starts.

  1. 1

    Scope

    We inspect the property and set out what needs doing, and what is optional.

  2. 2

    Options and budget

    You receive options with a written scope and an estimated cost for each.

  3. 3

    Your approval

    Work begins only once you have approved the scope and budget in writing.

  4. 4

    Supervision and updates

    We supervise the work and send progress updates with photographs.

  5. 5

    Handover to letting

    We check the finished work, then move straight to finding a tenant.

Upgrading a dated apartment so it could be rented well

Owner situation
The owner lives in Haifa and wanted the apartment rented and managed from a distance.
Challenge
With its original kitchen, a bath-only bathroom and old electrics, the apartment was drawing only low offers, and applicants were walking away after viewings.
Work handled
Assessed why the apartment was not attracting suitable tenants · Recommended a targeted upgrade focused on what long-term tenants notice most · Coordinated the kitchen, bathroom, electrical and lighting work through our renovation division
Result
The work improved the apartment's condition and rental appeal. It was let to long-term tenants and taken into ongoing management, with the same team that coordinated the upgrade now looking after it.

Preparing a vacant apartment and finding the right tenant

Owner situation
The owner, based in Tel Aviv, had already tried to rent the apartment independently.
Challenge
The previous tenant had left the apartment scuffed, with a broken kitchen cabinet and mold in the bathroom. It had been listed twice without success and had been standing empty for several months.
Work handled
Assessed the apartment and identified what was putting applicants off · Coordinated repainting, kitchen cabinet and countertop repairs, and mold treatment with re-grouting · Arranged professional photography and relisted the apartment
Result
Once the visible problems were dealt with and the apartment was presented properly, it attracted suitable applicants and was let to long-term tenants. It remains under our management.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Can you prepare or renovate a property before renting it?

Yes. Our assessment identifies what a property needs before it is rented, from repairs and a repaint to a kitchen or bathroom upgrade, and separates what is necessary from what is optional. Our renovation division can then coordinate the work, with a written scope and quote for your approval and photo updates as it progresses. The aim is always the rental: to protect the property’s condition and improve its rental appeal and potential value, not to renovate for its own sake. Read more about renovations and upgrades.
