What is the difference between modernising and maintaining a property?
The difference between modernisation and maintenance lies in the objective and the scope of the measures. Maintenance serves to preserve the original condition of a property and maintain its functionality. This includes maintenance and repairs aimed at preventing or repairing damage without making fundamental changes.
Modernisation, on the other hand, aims to improve the property, be it through greater energy efficiency, improved living comfort or technical upgrades. While maintenance ensures the current condition, modernisation is about increasing the value of the property and adapting it to modern standards.
