Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home renovation cost in India?
Renovation costs vary widely: painting (Rs 15-30 per sq ft), modular kitchen (Rs 1-5 lakh), bathroom renovation (Rs 50,000-3 lakh per bathroom), flooring (Rs 30-150 per sq ft), and complete interior work (Rs 500-2,000 per sq ft). A full renovation of a 2BHK apartment typically costs Rs 3-10 lakh depending on material quality and city.
How should I finance a home renovation?
Ideally, save in advance through a dedicated SIP for 1-2 years. If you need financing, a home loan top-up (8.5-10%) is cheaper than a personal loan (12-18%). Gold loans (10-12%) are another option. Avoid credit card financing as interest rates are 36-42% annually.
