In Singapore’s competitive property market, a renovation done well is more than a facelift — it’s a value multiplier. Whether you own a heritage shophouse, a prime district condo, or a landed home, the right renovation can raise your property’s resale price, boost rental yields, and transform daily living.

At Loren Ng Designs, we’ve seen it over and over again: once we complete a renovation — whether commercial or residential — our clients not only enjoy spaces tailored perfectly to their needs, but also see a clear uplift in property value.

Why Renovation in Singapore Is a Value-Boosting Investment

A quality renovation is both a lifestyle upgrade and a financial strategy.
For sellers, it differentiates your property in a crowded market. For long-term owners, it ensures your home stays functional, attractive, and relevant to today’s living standards.

Boutique developers often buy older properties with the specific goal of renovating for resale — turning dated spaces into high-demand, turnkey homes.

Proven ROI: Renovation and Resale Value Data in Singapore

1. HDB Renovation Impact on Resale Price

HDB resale records show well-renovated units can sell for $50k–$80k above median for their block or town 

2. Private Condo and Landed Property Uplift

Knight Frank’s Singapore Residential Market Update reports that turnkey condos in core central areas often fetch 5–10% higher sale prices than comparable unrenovated units. For landed homes, the uplift can be 8–15%.

3. Conservation Shophouse Premiums After Renovation

URA transaction caveats indicate conserved shophouses in prime districts can command 10–30% resale premiums after high-quality restoration and modernisation.

Renovation That Increases Property Value: Key Factors

Durable Materials and Long-Term Cost Savings

From solid brass PVD-coated fittings to engineered timber flooring with low VOC finishes, quality materials reduce maintenance, ensuring the property stays attractive for longer.

Functional Space Planning Buyers Will Pay For

Buyers value layouts that make sense. Optimised storage, better traffic flow, and enhanced lighting all improve perceived value and usability.

Design Consistency and Buyer Psychology

A cohesive style and attention to detail signal quality. Consistency in finishes builds buyer trust and makes them more willing to pay a premium (BCA Good Industry Practices – Finishes).

Common Renovation Mistakes That Reduce ROI

  • Overcapitalising on overly niche features with limited mass appeal
  • Cutting corners with low-quality materials that age poorly
  • Poor layout changes that compromise storage or natural light

Case Studies: Loren Ng Designs’ Track Record in Value Creation

Across commercial fit-outs and residential projects, our clients consistently see:

  • Increased property valuations post-renovation

  • Faster, higher-priced sales

  • Enhanced comfort, functionality, and pride of ownership

Because when a space is designed for you, it doesn’t just look better — it lives better.

Enjoying More Than Value: Lifestyle and Quality of Life Benefits

A tailored space is more than a financial asset — it’s a place that supports happiness and wellbeing. From kitchens designed for the way you cook to offices optimised for focus, our renovations are as much about how you live as they are about ROI.
