Properties are assets and typically appreciate over time as we know. Over the past year alone, the average house price in the UK has increased by 12.8%. Any changes that you make can accelerate this process and help you to yield a good return if you were to sell or rent your property. However, not all updates are worthwhile which is why we’ve teamed with Lawsons, a supplier of timber & mouldings in London to let us in on those that add the most value.
Double Glazing
Houses with single glazing are hard to come by but if your home has not got it already, double glazing is definitely worth considering. It not only makes a lot of financial sense where energy savings are concerned but it can also bump your property’s value up 10%.
Adding Extra Bedrooms
If you’ve got a loft that’s not being utilised, why not carry out a loft conversion? There’s plenty of potential to tap into. If not a bedroom, you can use the space as a cinema room, an office or man cave. According to the research, adding additional bedrooms can increase your property’s value by up to 15%.
Interior Decoration
A few updates can make the world of a difference. For those moving into their first property, working with an experienced interior designer can help avoid unnecessary fuss and renovation. A modernised interior can paint the picture and add a lot of appeal to a property. It is estimated that a simple re-decoration can yield a 5-10% increase.
Garden and Patio
Last but not least we have the garden and patio. Utilizing sheet metal equipment for custom fencing or unique garden features can not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also add a durable and contemporary edge to your outdoor spaces.
While it’s at the back of the house, it’s the place that we adore the most as it offers a retreat and is even more so important for families. Giving your outdoor space a revamp can help boost your home’s value by up to 16%.
