Short answer：Renovation cannot guarantee appreciation or a sale within three months. Acquisition price, lawful works, timing, financing and buyer demand determine the outcome.
Test a no-appreciation case
Add acquisition costs, tax, works, financing during ownership and exit costs before comparing sale-price scenarios. Renovation spending is not the same as added market value; delays can increase interest and accommodation costs.
Avoid obsolete tax assumptions
SSD no longer applies to relevant instruments executed on or after 28 February 2024. This does not make short-term trading tax-free. AVD and possible trading-profit treatment require case-specific review rather than a holding-period shortcut.
Before deciding
- Obtain itemised costs and a works schedule
- Confirm required professionals and procedures
- Reserve for a delayed sale
