Highton's established brick and split-level homes have solid bones but show their age in the wet areas, kitchens and services that were built for a different era. Knowing what to expect — and pricing for it honestly up front — is what keeps a renovation on track.

Older pipework and drainage frequently needs upgrading when a bathroom, kitchen or laundry is reconfigured.
Wiring and switchboards in established homes may need bringing up to code as part of a renovation.
Stepped and split-level homes affect flooring, drainage and access, and need careful planning to get level changes right.
