5 Ways to add value to your home

Update your bathroom

Updating your bathroom will not only add value to your house but will also help to sell it. It doesn’t need to be a complete renovation either. Simply swapping a shower curtain for a glass screen, changing the tired radiator for a brand new one and updating the shower will give your bathroom a brilliant refresh that will help make it look as good as new. 

Make the most of your available space

One way to make the most out of your home’s space is to de-clutter – throw away all those old clothes, toys, books and other knick-knacks taking up valuable room. Or, if you just can’t bear to part with any of it, simply increase your storage space. How? By investing in fitted furniture. Fitted furniture is built to fit the contours of your home to maximise space, transforming even the strangest shaped rooms into clever storage solutions. 

Extend your living space

While it’s one of the more complex ways to add value to your home, an extension can offer a fantastic return on investment. If you’ve got room to spare in your garden, consider extending your kitchen to create a wonderful open plan kitchen-diner with bi-fold patio doors. Or, for a simpler way to extend, add a conservatory to bring the outside in. Most conservatories are considered to be permitted development which means you won’t need planning permission as long as you meet certain conditions.

Add another bedroom

Converting unused loft space into another bedroom will add real value to your home. Often much cheaper than an extension, a loft conversion is a great way to increase the living footprint of your home and give you the additional space we all crave. Flood the room with natural light by installing dormer windows or rooflights and make the most of the available space with fitted wardrobes. 

Redecorate to refresh

One of the simplest ways you can increase the value of your property is to give it a new lease of life with a fresh lick of paint. Redecorating to neutral, on-trend colours and styles will really boost value and makes it easier for potential buyers to visualise themselves in the space. While you’re redecorating, don’t forget to refresh tired skirting, door handles, loose flooring and any other signs of wear and tear.
