Overcapitalising happens when renovation costs exceed the value they add. In suburbs like Claremont or Wynberg Upper, this often occurs with high-end kitchens, luxury finishes, or extensions that don’t align with neighborhood price ceilings.
Gabriel da Matta cautions sellers to evaluate improvements before spending. “Just because something costs a lot doesn’t mean buyers will pay a lot,” he says.
Surdo Prop helps homeowners renovate smartly, focusing on essentials like condition, flow, and functionality rather than over-the-top upgrades with low return.
