Loft Conversion
Often the simplest way to add an extra bedroom, a loft conversion is a safe investment. An extra bedroom generally adds up to 15% to a property’s value and can be a relatively easy project. Ensure a thorough structural survey is conducted first.
Conservatory or Extension
Adding a conservatory or extension to your property increases floor space and is a sure way to increase the value of your home. Extending into the back garden is useful for living areas and kitchens.
A rarely used garage could be turned into an extra room. Most of us use our garages as store rooms with garage shelving.
Or if you’d like to keep your garage shelving and enjoy your garden, consider commissioning a conservatory, creating a bright and versatile space between the indoors and outdoors.
Basement Extension
Basement extensions can add a large space to your home. They were previously considered cramped and dark, but there’s a range of ways to bring natural light inside.
Surveys need to be conducted, and it certainly is something that shouldn’t be undertaken lightly.
Fix Problems
Prioritise fixing issues such as rising damp, roof leaks, structural cracks or loose roof tiles. Cutting corners will not fool a property surveyor and can put off potential buyers and make your property hard to sell at the best price.
House prices are once again rising, so you can add value to your house with any essential repairs.
Also give the walls a fresh coat of paint, reseal baths and showers and declutter. Giving your home a facelift can make a real difference.
Presentation
First impressions go far – boost kerb appeal by tidying the outside of your home. Replace any broken path tiles and invest in flowers and window boxes. Replace any old door knobs or knockers with a fresh metallic alternative.
Garden
A tidy, well-designed and attractive garden can add considerable value to your home and make it far more sellable.
Spend some time clearing away dead plants, feed the lawn and cut back any overgrown shrubs, as well as adding colour by planting a variety of plants and greenery.
Layout
Think about how you can improve the existing layout of your home, such as changing bathroom layouts and removing stud walls to create more space.
