Not sure what's up with the first (duplicate) link but it's not working so here it is again:

Buy run-down and neglected property to renovate for profit with our renovators mortgage.

Our new renovation and property make-over mortgage is perfect for buying an investment property for renovation to sell on for profit or keep as a BTL for rental income.

productive ends/purposes

Explanation:
Something like "convert an unused (or abandoned, following Jim Davis) building for productive ends".

Both "productive ends" and "productive purposes" are well represented in business and economic discussion.
