    Tight budget, big vision: How to maximise returns on investment when renovating your home

    With a limited budget, how do you choose the home improvements that add the most value to your property and everyday life? Ellie, a serial DIY’er and mother of two, was faced with that very question after stretching her budget on a new home in dire need of renovation. In conversation with Charlie Luxton and Bindar Dosanjh – a property developer and founder of the Female Property Alliance – we explore the choices Ellie made in her project to understand how we can all transform our homes without breaking the bank while maximising the returns on our investments.

Mrs Colbert the 2nd ,

A comforting and cosy listen ❤️

There is something quite lovely about this podcast and I am definitely looking forward to hearing more episodes. The delightful Charlie Luxton has an array of guests talking about their home projects as well as industry specialists giving hints and tips on how to improve the quality of home living... heck, even the poet Simon Armitage makes an appearance with an ode to Velux windows 😄

There is also something very comforting about listening to people talking about their/our homes, and it feels even more pertinent with us all spending so much time there at the moment!

Well done to all involved, but especially to Charlie who is always infinitely passionate, interesting, and charming! 👏🏻🥰
