Refurbishment & Renovation

Some properties need more than styling to reach corporate-let standard — a tired kitchen, a dated bathroom, flooring past its best. Through our sister company Nua Spaces, we carry out refurbishment and renovation works ourselves, so the same team that will let and manage your property is the one bringing it up to standard.

What we deliver

  • Full refurbishments and light renovations delivered by Nua Spaces, our own works team
  • Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, painting and lighting brought up to corporate-let standard
  • Scope built around return — we only recommend works that lift the rate the property can earn
  • One point of contact from first assessment through works to first booking
  • Interior design and furnishing coordinated with the refurbishment, not bolted on after
  • Works scheduled and project-managed by us — no chasing builders or juggling trades

Refurbishment with the end use in mind

Most refurbishments are designed in the abstract. Ours are designed against a very specific brief: the apartment a relocating executive or corporate guest will pay a premium for. Because we operate these properties every day, we know exactly which upgrades move the nightly rate — and which spend never comes back.

That is why the works are handled by Nua Spaces, our sister company. One team assesses the property, scopes the works, delivers them, and then hands straight over to EirStay to furnish, photograph, list and manage. There is no gap between the renovation and the return on it.

From light upgrade to full renovation

Not every property needs major work — many only need new flooring, a repaint and better lighting, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Where more is needed, Nua Spaces handles complete refurbishments: kitchens, bathrooms, layout changes and full interior schemes, including period properties.

A recent example is a Morehampton Road building in Donnybrook — a full refurbishment and interior design of a three-apartment building, now performing in exactly the market EirStay serves. You can see that project and more in our portfolio below.

Portfolio & Projects

A selection of refurbishment, renovation, interior design and staging projects delivered by our team.

Morehampton Road, Donnybrook, Dublin

The Morehampton Road project involved the complete interior renovation of three dated apartments in a period Donnybrook building. Each apartment was fully refurbished with new kitchens, new bathrooms, and a considered interior design scheme throughout, with artwork and soft furnishings hand-picked by our in-house team. Completed in just 2.5 months, the property is now managed by EirStay and serves as premium corporate accommodation.

Cromwell's Fort, Wexford

Purchased with the intention of renovating and reselling, this 2-bedroom apartment at Cromwell's Fort, Wexford, had been vacant for a number of years. The property was fully replumbed and rewired, a new kitchen and open-plan living space were created, new bathrooms were installed, and the entire apartment was furnished and styled by our in-house team. The result spoke for itself — the property sold on the first day it was listed for sale.

How refurbishment fits the EirStay model

One conversation covers the works and the letting — from first assessment to first booking.

Assessment

We visit and assess the property against corporate-let standard — what it can earn as it is, and what it could earn after targeted works.

Scope & Quote

Nua Spaces scopes the works with a clear, itemised quote. Every line is weighed against the uplift in rate and occupancy it delivers.

Works & Design

The refurbishment is delivered and project-managed end-to-end, with interior design and furnishing coordinated as part of the same scheme.

Handover to EirStay

The finished property moves straight into the EirStay operation — photographed, listed and earning, with no gap between the works and the return.
