Fast-track your renovation

By developing design, planning, and cost insight before exchange, the Improvement Plan puts you ahead before completion and allows renovation work to move forward more quickly once you own the property.

What we do

True Value gives you the clarity and strategy to buy the right home at the right price. 

We assess the true value of a property before you are legally committed. That means looking beyond the asking price to understand condition, risk, and the real cost of putting things right, so you can judge whether the price reflects reality. 

We also test what the property could become. We assess what improvements are genuinely achievable, what planning is likely to allow, and what those changes are likely to cost, helping you understand the full commitment before you proceed. 

This insight strengthens your position as a buyer. It allows you to make more realistic offers, supported by evidence, and to commit knowing the home still makes sense once future works are factored in. 

The result is confidence in one of life’s biggest decisions. You know what you are buying, what is achievable, and how to move forward with a clear plan on solid ground.

How we support your purchase

True Value supports you at the key decision points of buying and improving a home. We front-load architectural, planning, and cost insight before an offer, during conveyancing while leverage still exists, and carry it through into delivery. This brings clarity to value, risk, and improvement potential, replacing hindsight with a joined-up view before you commit

“I honestly can’t understand why more people don’t treat their biggest purchase this way.”

Ant Rawlins, True Value Client

  • "Harry, from True Value, helped us weigh up a renovation project, giving us a clear picture of the work, costs, and disruption involved. In the end, we chose a newer home that only needed minor changes - which True Value visited, assessed against our aims, and costed small works to before we committed. Their advice gave us the confidence to make that decision."

    Lesley Zwanziger

  • "True Value gave me the confidence and expertise to know that what I wanted to achieve was possible, and under which circumstances I should proceed. Their insight gave me a strategic approach when negotiating with the sellers, backed up by solid evidence and data to support my requests. I knew what to expect from the property, how to plan for the years ahead, and what the likely costs and build times would be. I honestly can’t understand why more people don’t treat their biggest purchase this way - especially when it’s your forever home."

    Ant Rawlins

  • "True Value saved us a lot of pain and money. The design ideas were so exciting yet practical. It was going to be our dream home! Their honest approach to times lines and budgeting highlighted that we needed to walk away from that project which is what we ended up doing, and instead bought a move-in-ready home up the coast. It was a hard decision but definitely the right one."

    Caroline

  • "True Value provided a realistic cost estimate for the renovation of the house, while also exploring how we could improve and extend the property. With a clear strategy and budget and an accurately priced survey, we were able to negotiate over 20% off the asking price."
