Ready to create your dream home, minus the stress?

ENROLMENT WON'T BE OPEN FOR LONG

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 spiralWhere 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 trustAre 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.

property renovation courses

Before

After

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! 

Incredible student feedback

house renovation course

A Property Renovation Course for Newbies!

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.

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

Fifi McGee was awarded the Best of Houzz Awards 
for Outstanding Service

"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 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.

What do you think? Interested in signing up?

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).

SAVE £1000s ››

We’ve personally bought many online courses in different industries before, and hate to say this but… some of them never worked. It left a sour taste in our mouths having no new breakthroughs and we were left out of pocket. Having our customers feel this way is an absolute no-no for us.

We are completely confident that this course will help you achieve your dream home and life. And while we can’t do this renovation for you, we're confident that if you join this course and commit to the steps we’re showing you, you will save at least £5000 in rookie mistakes than if you were to go it alone.

It’s completely risk-free, too. If, after you’ve joined, you don’t want this course for any reason, we’ll give you a full refund immediately within 30 days of purchase. Just email us hello@fifimcgee.com. No conditions, no quibbles. You have nothing to lose.

Course Bundle

Which bundle is right for me?

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.
