Exclusive service of property revaluation for owners of urban land and construction projects.
FAQ
Is it worth renovating a property before selling it?
In many cases, yes. A well-planned renovation can increase a property’s market value, reduce the time it spends on the market and attract more buyers. A full renovation is not always necessary; updating kitchens, bathrooms, paintwork or lighting often delivers a return far greater than the investment. At On Viure, we analyse each property individually to identify the improvements that will create the most value. Investing €10,000 to gain €30,000 is usually a smart decision. The opposite, not so much.
Which renovations add the most value to a home?
The renovations that usually add the most value are kitchen and bathroom upgrades, energy-efficiency improvements, replacing outdated flooring and applying fresh, neutral paint. Removing visually outdated features is also important. Buyers generally place much higher value on a home that feels ready to move into.
How can I know if a renovation will be profitable before starting?
The key is to compare renovation costs with the potential increase in market value. Every neighbourhood, building and property is different. That is why a professional valuation before starting any work is highly recommended. The best renovation is not always the most impressive, but the one that provides the highest return on investment.
What if I love the location but not the house?
This is a very common situation. Some of the best property opportunities are homes that do not impress at first sight. An outdated layout, old finishes or uninspiring décor can hide tremendous potential. Sometimes the ideal home is not the one that looks perfect today, but the one that can become perfect tomorrow.
How can I tell if a house has transformation potential?
Structure, orientation, natural light, ceiling height, usable space and layout possibilities are often far more important than existing finishes. At On Viure, we regularly help buyers visualise what a property could become after renovation. Potential is not always visible during the first visit, but it is often there.
What are buyers looking for in a home today?
Natural light, functional spaces, energy efficiency, storage and modern finishes are among the most sought-after features today. Flexible layouts suitable for remote working are also increasingly important. Many buyers say they want something unique, but when they find it, they usually describe it as bright, practical and comfortable.
Can a property sell well without being renovated?
Yes. Not every property needs renovation before being marketed. Some buyers actually prefer to adapt the home to their own taste and needs. The most important factors are a sound strategy, good presentation and realistic pricing.
Is it possible to find the ideal home by renovating one I don't initially like?
Very often, yes. Buyers frequently reject properties because the kitchen is outdated, the layout is inefficient or the décor feels old-fashioned. However, if the location, building and size are right, a renovation can transform that almost-right property into exactly the home you were looking for.
What are the most common mistakes when renovating to sell?
One of the most common mistakes is investing in highly personal finishes or improvements that buyers do not value. Starting work without a clear budget or target buyer profile is another frequent error. When renovating to sell, the goal is to appeal to the widest possible audience.
Can On Viure help coordinate a renovation before selling or buying?
Yes. We analyse the property, identify the improvements with the greatest potential return and can coordinate the professionals needed to carry them out. We also help buyers recognise opportunities in properties that may not initially seem suitable. Our goal is simple: turn potential into value.

My name is Pau Sebastian
Since I started in this sector, I have not missed the opportunity to continue learning about my profession, which has led me to an incessant search for new perspectives to enrich myself as a professional.
From my beginnings as an architect, I have had the good fortune to participate in large-scale projects at Zaha Hadid, to collaborate in urban planning and land-use planning projects in Finland and to help with neighbourhood reconstruction projects in New York after Hurricane Sandy.
The last stop, where I have spent almost 10 years, has been Suïssa. As a project manager building luxury homes, my goal has always been to ensure that the management between developer / builder / marketing / client was the most logical, transparent and clear for each of the parties involved in the construction.
My latest project, On Viure valor afegit, aims to simplify and clarify the complex process of real estate operations, promotion, construction and renovation.
