Lilyfield Project

2024

Inner West Council

A carful preservation, adaptation and additions, focusing in on improving functional layout and amenity with the means to comfortably support a growing family with space to work from home.

Currently held as a tenanted rental property, the owners of this federation terrace wanted to explore development options for uplifting the house into a functional and beautiful family home they can move into, with a focus on long term capital growth.

What Our Up‑Lift Service Delivered

+$500 k Instant Equity

We unlocked half a million dollars in market value the day the renovation was complete—equivalent to a 20 % return on the total project cost. That’s fresh equity you can refinance against, reinvest, or simply bank as capital growth.

$27 k‑$35 k Extra Rental Income Every Year

Weekly rent jumped from $925 to $1,450‑$1,600, boosting gross annual income by up to 73 %. More cash in your pocket, greater serviceability with lenders.

Built‑In Exit Flexibility

Sell now and realise the gain, or hold and watch the equity compound in one of Sydney’s most sought‑after suburbs. Either way, you control the timing.

Risk‑Smart Approach

Our fixed‑price build and rigorous feasibility modelling protect you from the cost overruns and valuation surprises that erode returns in typical DIY renovations.

Better Returns, Less Guesswork

From first sketch to final hand‑over, Up‑Lift handles design, approvals and construction—so you capture the upside without the stress.
