1930s terraced house

"This course is flipping awesome. We're in the early stages but feeling so prepared and it's thanks to Fi and Neil's honest and well structured advice. Honestly I really don't think we'd have taken on the "old girl" (nickname for the house) without it."

“We’ve definitely avoided costly mistakes. We had no idea where to start and what’s more I feel inspired and loving dipping in and out of the course as I progress my ideas”

Our students are transforming their fixer uppers. They’re controlling their budgets, making far fewer mistakes, and they’re planning each room the right way.
You can do the same.

A Property Renovation Course for Newbies!

How about this?

You can’t become an expert overnight, but imagine if…

• Someone showed you a straight route to renovating, hitting you with all the possible challenges you might face so you can prepare

• You could learn from reliable and experienced people who have been where you are and understand what you want to achieve

• You had access to a simple step-by-step framework that will speed up decisions and prevent mistakes

• You nailed your budgeting so well you ended up with change leftover to go on holiday

• You project managed your renovation with such ease that you actually enjoyed it (and dare we say it, take on another?!)

• Whenever you hit a problem with your renovation, you had a community of other renovators to ask for advice 

• You get your renovation right first time, you don’t burn money in learning the ropes 
  

• You end up with a home that you’re proud to show off
  

Helping you create your dream home

We’ve supported hundreds of UK renovators who felt daunted by their projects… until they found us

We're Neil & Fi and back in 2016, we were right where you are now. 

We hadn't even got the keys to our renovation yet and we had so many fears:

What if costs spiral? Where do we even start? How long will it take?  What if we make the wrong decisions and have to redo work? Who do we need to hire?  Will we ever find a tradesperson we can trust? Are we too inexperienced to do this?

The house didn't even have central heating. Every single room needed to be gutted. The scale of our project was unreal.

During our biggest project of the build; the kitchen diner, we were about to invest all of our savings into one room, then ditched our decision when we realised we’d get the same result for a fraction of the cost.

Back then, we wished we knew a couple who were a few steps ahead of us, to tell us exactly how to renovate – and what to avoid.

Now? We’ve poured everything we’ve learned – including Fi’s knowledge as an interior designer (she went on to train and set up a practice) into our online courses and tools, to give newbie renovators the need to know info prior to taking on the biggest, most important project of their lives. 

We’ve packed this course with all the hindsight, the tools and the practices that made our project end up a success. We want to help YOU renovate the right way.

Instant, lifetime access. Buy now, start whenever.

"A really great course and an absolute bargain given the savings we'll make over the long run as a result. We wish we'd accessed the course earlier as we might have been able to save on architect fees by following the Layout module."

"It's the best money I've spent on our renovation."

“It helped us feel more prepared for our renovation before completing on the house. I love the Reno Club and can't wait to share more when we finally get the keys!”

 Yasmin Deakin

1930s semi-detached renovation

“It helped us figure out what was the best order to do things, and the planners helped to facilitate the right questions about budget and priorities. In terms of the Reno Club, the ideas shared possibly saved us £1000’s”

“Budgeting from the start has helped me to prioritise what work to do first. I had a lot of ideas but the course has really helped me to think far more about the details. It made everything so much clearer.”

“I wasn't sure if I could justify spending money on the course but it has really helped me get to grips with what I can afford and which areas I can reduce costs”

Pip Bennett

You're spending tens of thousands of your hard earned cash on your renovation...

You’re at the point of decision, you can either continue muddling through with a lot of unknowns, possibly resulting in the project being stressful and disorganised, making costly mistakes. 

Or… start working on the tried and tested framework that’s getting results for people straight away. There's no risk to you - remember we offer a 100% no quibbles refund policy (see below).

It's a no-brainer

“I had no clue where to even start with a renovation and with a tight budget I wanted to make sure I was as prepared as I could be going into it.  

This course made everything so much clearer. I had a lot of ideas but the course has really helped me to think far more about the details. Working through each room and budgeting from the start has been really helpful and helped me to prioritise what work to do first.”

Jo Serrao

It’s difficult to know where to start with renovating a house. There are a lot of decisions to make and agree on.

Thousands of new renovators just like you start renovations every year with little or no experience. They can end up making bad decisions that lead to lack lustre results whilst costs spiral. Money can be wasted on design choices they regret and have to settle for.

It doesn’t have to be that way for you.

In this course, we’ve compiled our experience of renovating and designing properties to help you fast-track your reno project and tackle it confidently… and successfully.

Whether you’re yet to get started on your house renovation, or if you have a few rooms left to do, this course will show you how to prevent costs from spiralling, how to complete the project on time, and get the design spot on.

Plus an exclusive invitation to our tight-knit Reno Club community…

Doing this course has definitely given us insight 
and saved us 
tens of thousands of pounds.  It's certainly an investment 
I'm glad I made.

And the worst part? We had to live and work in it as a building site. 

On the first two rooms we burned money making mistakes. We had to re-do some work… and we spent £3.5K on an architect to help at completely the wrong point, later finding out – our project didn't need one at all!

Your questions answered

Will I get my dream home if I take this course?

100% yes. The students who are working through the course are creating beautiful, light, spacious homes within their budgets.

They’ve told us that the course has helped them create a positive snowball effect in their lives. They’ve gone from feeling overwhelmed, confused, disorganised and ashamed of how their homes look, to feeling brave, far less fearful of change, and proud of their homes and what they’ve achieved with the money they had. 

They’ve created organised, homely spaces that are helping them show up to life in a more optimistic way. They’re cooking better, eating better, practising meditation, hosting birthday parties and they have raised their level of self-worth because they’re more connected to family and friends. 

The community is on a journey and we’d love to have you with us.

Will I buy the course and just give up or not do the lessons?

In honesty, it depends on how committed you are. Considering you’re about to take on a property that needs a facelift, we’re willing to bet you’re motivated, driven to succeed, and willing to follow through with the exercises and information that will allow you to make it your dream home. 

Those are the traits you need when you're taking on a renovation – therefore you’ll have no problem with the course. We do our part to keep you accountable by ensuring the course structure is high value, quick to yield results, methodical and even fun. 

It will be well worth your investment.

How long will it take until I start seeing results?

The moment you log in and start working on the bonus preparation module, you’ll start seeing results happening quickly with minimal effort. 

We’ll be jumpstarting your renovation knowledge first, and then the following exercises and lessons can be completed at your own pace. 

We know you’ve got a busy schedule, juggling a full time job, family commitments and now this renovation.  That’s why the course structure is delivered in a way that’s high value and bite-sized to consume. 

With little effort, you will be making some big savings on your project. 

Will this course be worth the money?

This course, honestly, is as essential as a house survey but will give you 100x the value. 

The renovation course alone will save you a minimum of £5000 in preventing mistakes. We’re confident about this. But you have to methodically work through the steps we’re showing you, and be in the early stages of the project so that you can apply the advice we’re providing. 

If you need more convincing, then take it from us, we’ve been in your shoes... When you're spending £3,000 for a plasterer, you don't want to have to redo work because you've done things in the wrong order. 

When you're spending £10,000 with an architect, you need to be sure you actually require their service in the first place.

When you have to pay the £15,000+ deposit for your contractor, are you going to be sweating it in case you have forgotten something crucial or feeling calm because you've got everything ready? 

Students tell us the course is incredible value for money. They say that if they hadn't taken it, they would have wasted thousands of pounds on possible mistakes with everything from layouts to hiring the wrong people and doing work in the wrong order. It's made them drastically rethink everything they thought they knew. 

In our student Nick's words: "it's a bargain considering the savings you'll make".

Are there any lower priced ways that I can work with you?
In the past we had a number of lower priced courses & offerings that were valuable but didn't holistically deal with all of the problems a renovator experienced.

Over the years, the natural evolution has been a premium, flagship offering. 

We continue to develop this essential renovation blueprint, alongside Fi's interior design expertise brimming with innovative ways to create a stunning design without breaking the bank.
