Dymond Homes Currently Offering Apartment Refurbishment

Once you have bought an apartment, you legally own the property in its entirety, as you would with a house. Despite this, there are noteworthy differences between apartments and free-standing homes, especially when renovation is involved. While you are able to legally refurbish an apartment you own, it’s best to involve a professional in the process, as there are extra factors to take into consideration.

Strata by-laws are the rules imposed on tenants in an apartment complex to keep them from renovating freely. They are designed to protect each individual tenants’ privacy against the interference of other tenants. Strata by-laws also forbid renovations from detracting from the overall appearance of the apartment complex – they prevent exterior changes from drastically differentiating one apartment from the next. These by-laws change from state to state, and are updated often. Because of the importance of understanding renovation by-laws, the best way to avoid controversy is to avoid DIY work in an apartment complex.

Depending on the territory, a few nonessential renovations can be made without going through a full approval system, such as replacing your curtains. For more in-depth alterations, hiring the services of a team like Dymond Homes is the ideal option. Dymond Homes is able to make the renovations you need legally, and with the proper care and respect for your neighbours. They are able to take care of the tangential administration surrounding the job – submitting plans, interfacing with the Owner’s Corporation in your apartment building, etc.

Strata by-laws may seem unfair or restrictive, but Dymond Homes know exactly how much mileage you can get out of re-fitting sections of your apartment, without breaking any rules. Major renovations, such as renovating kitchens, bathrooms, changing flooring, or knocking down walls is possible, it just requires an expert contractor who knows how to get approval.
