What’s the difference between “refurbishment” and “renovation” to a property?

Both terms, “refurbishment” and “renovation”, refer to the process of improving or updating a building, but they have slightly different meanings:

  • Refurbishment improves a property’s appearance and condition with updates to décor and fixtures.
  • Renovation involves structural changes, layout redesigns, or extensions to increase a property’s functionality and value beyond its original state.
