What Home Improvements can Increase the Value of your Home

Property prices are soaring across the UK, with a huge boom in sales defying the predictions of a post-pandemic housing market crash.

If you are one of the many people hoping to cash in on this boom, you will probably want to get the best price possible for your home.

We take a quick look at which home improvements could increase the value of your property.

Flooring is Essential

One of the biggest factors of property valuations is the type of floors throughout your home. You don’t have to make major changes to maximise your investment. Adding new flooring around the home can help to boost its value, while also making it more appealing to buyers.

Not all types of flooring will increase the value of a property. You’ll want to make sure you choose something that lasts decades, such as engineered wood or solid wood flooring.

Loft or garage conversion

Adding bedrooms, bathrooms or utility spaces can help to increase the value of a property and there are often overlooked and underused spaces ready for conversion.

Lofts, garages and even cellars make good conversions for a wide range of rooms.

Home extension

A home extension can add bedrooms, utility rooms, offices and more. Significantly increasing your house sale price.

You will likely need planning permission for a large extension, so it’s important to familiarise yourself with regulations.

Bathroom upgrades

Updating a tired bathroom suite will add instant appeal to your property and increase its value to buyers.

Many buyers will be keen to redecorate, but not go through refitting bathrooms, which is why a fresh, modern bathroom is so desirable.

Garden studios

Building a garden studio or office will appeal to remote workers. Especially those leaving urban areas for the joy of rural living.

Invest in quality products like roofing sheets when building a garden studio to ensure its usability and structural soundness.

Kitchen renovations

Kitchens are another room where many buyers will not want to invest in renovating straight away. A new, contemporary kitchen is very appealing to many buyers and will undoubtedly increase the value of your property.

Try a design-led style to keep it modern, but also remember to give it timeless appeal so that its new owners can put their stamp on it.

Redecorating rooms

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best solutions. A fresh lick of paint in a fresh, neutral shade such as white or grey can give your property an instant fresh feel and increase your properties value on the market.

Increasing the value in your home can be achieved through simple redecoration or renovating and extending your home.

It’s up to you how much investment you want to make vs how much return you might get.

Whatever you decide to do, it should help to improve the market value of your home.
