konceptrenovering

koncept (“concept”) + renovering (“renovation”)

compound

Efter en konceptrenovering höjs hyran kraftigt, upp till 50 procent är vanligt, enligt de granskade bolagens egna redovisningar.

2019 May 13, Nicklas Tollesson, “Hyresgästföreningen kritisk till konceptrenovering”, in Fastighetssverige:

After a concept renovation, the rent is raised sharply, up to 50 percent is common, according to the examined companies' own accounts.

Punktvisa konceptrenoveringar är kärnan i den affärsmodell som […] Den nämnda oviljan att ta på sig utgifter för reguljärt underhållsarbete och strävan efter att höja bruksvärdet är också anledningar till att man vid konceptrenovering låter lägga parkettgolv i hela lägenheten, inklusive kök och klädkammare. […] Det ska sägas att för den enskilde hyresgästen är konceptrenoveringen inte nödvändigtvis av ondo. […] De punktvisa konceptrenoveringarna innebär ett betydande störningsmoment för många hyresgäster. […] Varje ny avyttring från allmännyttan är att betrakta som en efterskänkning av potentiella vinster och värdeökningar genom konceptrenoveringar till privata investerare.

2019 November 2, Arram Eckerbom, Adam Ulveson, Mathew Newton, “Myten om den långsiktiga privata hyresvärden”, in Dagens Arena:

Point-by-point concept renovations are at the core of the business model that […] The aforementioned reluctance to incur expenses for regular maintenance work and the effort to increase the use value are also reasons why concept renovations allow parquet floors to be laid throughout the apartment, including kitchens and walk-in closets. […] It should be said that for the individual tenant, the concept renovation is not necessarily bad. […] The piecemeal concept renovations are a significant nuisance for many tenants. […] Any new divestiture from the public interest is to be regarded as a remission of potential gains and increases in value through concept renovations to private investors.

Mattias Frödén (2022 March 2) “Peters hem såldes utan att han visste – 190 000 kommunala lägenheter har blivit privata sedan 2000 [Peter's home was sold without his knowledge - 190,000 municipal flats have become private since 2000]”, in Hem & Hyra (in Swedish): “När Peter Lundqvist en gång flyttar ut kommer lägenheten med stor sannolikhet renoveras invändigt innan nästa hyresgäst får flytta in. Så gör de flesta större privata aktörer numera. Konceptrenovering eller styckvis renovering är en vanlig benämning på modellen.

Once Peter Lundqvist moves out, the flat will most likely be renovated inside before the next tenant can move in. This is what most major private players do nowadays. Concept renovation or piecemeal renovation is a common name for the model.”

The practice where the interior standard, and subsequently rent, of a landlord's flat stock is increased by being renovated internally piecemeal between whenever a tenant moves out and a new move in (contrast to a full renovation of the stock during a single occasion).
