Listing The Best Ways to Add Value to Your Home

Any changes you make to your home will more than likely increase its value. Whether this is through adding a kitchen extension, investing in new furniture, or simply repainting your home, your property is bound to increase in value.

If you are considering improving your home rather than selling it, or if you have decided to move out and sell your house but don’t know what you can do to increase the value of your property, you’re in the right place.

Here are some of the many ways you can add value to your home:

Build an Extension

Building an extension is a great way to increase the value of your home. The bigger the extension, the more money your house will sell for.

Whether you want to build a loft extension, kitchen extension, or conservatory extension, doing so will increase the price of your home by thousands of pounds.

House extensions provide you with a bigger living space to create an office space or extend your kitchen to allow room for a kitchen island.

No matter what you choose to extend in your home, having a house extension allows you to increase the value of your home whilst leaving you with some extra space for your personal belongings.

Make Your Home More Open Plan

Does your home feel dull, cramped and compact? If so, you could benefit from knocking a few walls down to make your home open plan.

By doing this, you can make your home look much larger than it is, while allowing the natural light to brighten it up.

Knocking down your living room or kitchen wall can create an open and spacious living area while looking more modern.

So the key benefits of an open plan home are:

• Plenty of natural light
• Spacious
• Modern
• Multifunctional

Bifold Doors

Bifold doors are a great way to make your home feel more spacious and open. Now, more than ever, people are working from home.

Bifold doors would be a good investment for people in this industry so that they can take in the views from their garden space without feeling stuck at home all the time by letting in more natural light.

Bathroom Renovations

When potential buyers look for their next home, one of the main things they look for is the size and appearance of the bathroom and kitchen.

There are many ways you can add value to your home through a bathroom renovation:

• Make sure your bathroom has a bath and shower
• Make sure that there is plenty of space
• Ensuring it looks hygienic (replace any mouldy tiles and silicone)
• Consider underfloor heating
• Add a mirror

When your bathroom has everything built in and renovated, the value of your home increases as there is no need for upgrades or renovations.

Kitchen Makeovers

Investing in electric hobs, building kitchen islands, and having built-in microwaves and ovens are some of the many ways you can add value to your home through your kitchen.

Electric hobs are more economically friendly and better for the environment. Many people opt for an electric hob to avoid the health risks associated with gas hobs.

Modern-looking kitchens are more likely to increase the chances of selling your home compared to older looking ones. This is because more and more people are looking to stay up to date with popular and modern designs that are minimalistic yet effective.

Don’t Neglect the Outside of Your Home

Most of us get so caught up with improving the interior of our home that we often forget about the exterior. The outside of your home can determine whether or not someone decides to view the rest of your home.

This is why giving the outside of your home a makeover is just as important as the inside.

Here are some ways that you can improve the outside of your home:

• Repaint old brick work
• Consider adding a porch
• Repair or replace old windows
• Upgrade the garage if necessary
• Replace or add a new house number sign

Consider a Loft Conversion

A loft conversion can increase the value of your home by around 25% according to a statement from Nationwide in 2020.

Lofts can be turned into many different functional areas such as an extra bedroom, office space or playroom for your little ones.

Loft conversions are an excellent choice as they can improve the overall aesthetic of your home as well as allowing natural light to brighten up the room.
