Consult your tax advisor.
Note that it will likely make a difference what sort of "repairs" as
SOME can be added to the basis. You ordinarily want the basis as high as
possible as this reduces the capital gain when/if sold.

PS -- this isn't a gnucash question, and I will add that I lack the
qualifications to give accounting/tax advice. Besides, you didn't
specify the jurisdiction which is likely to have rules, what you should
do, what you are allowed to do, etc,
