Adding certain improvements helps improve home value. Spending money to increas the price of your home is a fantastic investment and can pay off in the long term. So, what should you consider adding to improve its sale value?

 

Conservatory

By giving up garden space, the conservatory provides extra room in your home. A conservatory is unlike extension where you have to ask for permission. As long as you are not covering more than half of the original space your home covers.

At the same time, all rules that govern house building such as fire safety and structure does not apply in this case, only if half of the wall and the roof is either built using translucent or gazed material. As the same time, the conservatory should be separated from the main house using an external door.

The Garden

For many people, they do not see the benefits of a garden. At the same time, it is very easy to forget the garden and let it overgrow. However, the first thing a buyer will see it is the front gate. Remember, you are trying to make a sale, and there is no other better way to show a great property without a small garden at the front gate.

Remember to keep it clean and tidy by removing dead plants, watering, cultivation and removing weeds. This will give the property a welcoming feeling.

The Extensions

The best thing about extensions is that they expand the room size or adding an extra room. The best thing about extensions is that; they could be done across two floors.

Initially, when it came to building extensions, the government only allowed an addition of a single-floor extension of 3 meters in depth and 4 meters in length without the necessary papers and permission. However, this is not the case anymore.

Dimensions were increased up to 6 meters and 8 meters respectively. However, for you to start on this project, you will have to consult your neighbours.

Therefore, if you are building a two story extension, the earlier limit must apply, and the extension must not be closer to the boundary of more than 7m. Yet again the roof should not extend more than 4 meters in height, and it should not extend more than half the area of the garden. Here are some more tips.

The Windows

The windows should express comfort, safety, and even sunlight penetration. Windows are among the first things any home buyer looks at. Having dirty, Brocken and even chipped windows is a big turn off to the buyers. At the same time, it affects the value if the home.

If you want to increase your home’s value, then should consider spending time on fixing these problems and doing a bit of painting. These few changes can make a very big difference.

The Kitchen

According to property statistics, the state, size and design of the kitchen is one of the biggest areas that help closing any property. According to www.kitchenwarehouseltd.com, a well-designed home helps in increasing its value. The HSBC found that the kitchen could at least increase the property by £5,000.

Therefore, having a big space and readymade kitchen, buyers may be willing to spend more to buy the home in order to save time taken in arranging it.

The Loft Conversion

According to research conducted by the Nationwide Building Society stated that a loft can increase the value of a home’s value by up to 20%. It can increase by more than this if there is a good view, such as looking toward a lake, mountain, city or historical site.

 

Lofts are known to provide extra space for rooms without having to move. At the same time, no planning permission is required because they are under the permitted development rights category. For this reason, home planners and builders are usually keen to maintain the rhythm of residential rooflines; so as to have minimal extensions external impacts.
