We all love to make our home as comfortable as possible and if home improvement projects are never far from your mind, there are many projects that you can consider and in this short article, we take a look at some home improvement projects that would see the value of your home rise significantly.
- Double glazed window and door replacement – As well as replacing all the timber frame windows, you can install aluminium sliding doors that bring the garden into your lounge. There is a range of finishes that include faux timber-grain and bronze aluminium, while white uPVC is another option. Doors can be replaced with made-to-measure units with full security locking and this is probably a project that adds the most value to a property.
- Loft conversion – Nothing adds value to a home like adding valuable living space; convert that empty space between the roof and the upstairs ceilings, while this project is an inexpensive way to add a room to your home. Talk to a local small builder who has loft conversion experience and ask him to quote for the project. Click here for tips on how to renovate on a budget.
- Kitchen renovation – The kitchen is the most important room in the house and if your kitchen is looking a bit worn and jaded, why not plan a new kitchen? Talk to a kitchen renovation specialist and let the experts design and build the ideal kitchen. Make sure you choose top quality materials and kitchen appliances, as this actually saves you money in the long term. A good builder can handle every aspect of the project, even moving gas and water pipes, should you wish to relocate major appliances.
- En-suite bathroom – If your master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, this will add a few thousand dollars to the asking price. Of course, you need to have enough space and your local builder is more than capable of transforming your master bedroom and you can enjoy the luxury that comes with an en-suite setting.
- Bricks-and-mortar extension – Whether a single or two-storey extension, this is the best way to add living space to your home. Ideally, the extension would blend perfectly with the property and with numerous extra rooms, your home will be worth so much more. You could take out a second mortgage to fund this project, which will pay dividends in the long run.
- Timber decking – Either solid hardwood or a composite material with a faux woodgrain finish would make for a stunning rest and relaxation area that is shaded by umbrellas. Get creative with your patio design and create a tranquil place for the whole family to relax.
Your home is likely to be the biggest single investment that you will ever make and it makes total sense to carry out regular home improvement projects that will see the asset rise in value.
