Here are\nour top 10 suggestions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1) Extend your\nliving space by building a conservatory<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building a\nconservatory is a great way to increase the value of your home and can be a\nmuch more cost-effective option to a full-blown extension, whilst still netting\nyou an additional 5% in potential added value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes without\nsaying that you\u2019ll want to hire a trusted builder for the project but you\nshould also make sure you have the relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/planning-permission-england-wales\">planning\npermission<\/a>, if\nnecessary, before you begin to break ground. When planning which conservatory\nto go for, try and make sure the brickwork, windows, fixtures and fittings all\ncomplement your existing property, so the structures blend seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you are\nhappy with the build and the structure is complete, it is up to you to make\nsure the interior d\u00e9cor flows through from the rest of your home, which not\nonly extends the property but enhances your living space further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Loft\nconversion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding a loft conversion automatically creates more liveable space, in turn increasing the value of your house by anywhere <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-much-value-does-an-extension-add\/\">between 15-30%<\/a>, although it can be a pricey option depending on the type and condition of your existing loft space and roof. You will need to meet specific building regulations since you&#8217;ll be creating a habitable space and you may also need to get planning permission depending on the type and scale of the build and the location of your property. Our biggest tip with a loft conversion is to ensure that access to the loft room is as safe and as spacious as possible (think ceiling height!) and, again, make sure the new doorway or stairs fit in with your existing d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more\ninformation on the different types of loft conversion and their costs, check\nout our article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-much-does-a-loft-conversion-cost\/\"><em>How much does a\nloft conversion cost?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3) Turn your garage\ninto living space<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garages are potential goldmines when converted into living space. If you are considering a garage conversion, ensure the room is sealed from the outside elements and that heating and all the usual requirements for a living space are installed. Once the groundwork is complete, you can use your newly converted garage as a games room, office area, bedroom, or just everyday leisure area. This can boost the property value by around 15% and, of course, will enhance your own living experience in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A garage\nconversion is also one of the most straightforward and cost-effective redevelopments\nyou can make, costing in the region of \u00a3600-\u00a31,000 a square metre depending on\nwhether the garage is integrated or attached. However, if this leaves you with\nno dedicated parking space and you do not have on-street parking nearby either,\ndo consider the impact on your quality of life if you live in a busy area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are\nweighing up the pros and cons of a garage conversion, have a read of our\narticle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/does-a-garage-add-value-to-your-home\/\"><em>Does a garage\nadd value to your home?<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4) Redecorate\nyour entire property<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all need a\nrevamp from time to time and so does your home! Changing the d\u00e9cor of your\nproperty can enhance its look and feel massively. Even if you only change small\nelements, such as a light fitting here and a lick of paint there, it can really\nhave a positive impact when it comes time to sell your property, and to your\nown enjoyment of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5) Add new\nwindows to your property<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you buy a\nnew pair of glasses, you want them to look right, fit in with current trends\nand, of course, make you look better \u2013 quite apart from improving your vision!\nWell, if you buy a house, new windows provide the same effect. Not only will\nyour house look like a different property if you update tired panes and frames,\nit will increase the overall value of the property, increase your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/how-long-is-an-epc-valid\/\">EPC<\/a> rating and\ncould save you a substantial amount on your heating bills, particularly if your\nhome is still rocking single-glazed windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6) Improve the\nkitchen<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are\nstill rocking the latest units from the 70\u2019s then a kitchen refit is a\nno-brainer and a brand-new kitchen can add anywhere between 4-10% to your\noverall property value, not to mention vastly improving your quality of life if\nyou can create a family-friendly cooking\/dining\/social space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a completely new kitchen can be a pricey investment, particularly if you plan to move soon. Instead, think about tweaks you can make to the layout, or smaller jobs with a big impact like refreshing work surfaces. If the carcass of the kitchen itself is still in decent shape you could also get away with just updating the cupboard doors and handles for a fresh look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For advice on\nhow to enhance\nyour existing space without installing a brand-new kitchen, check out our\narticle <a href=\"How%20to%20enhance%20your%20existing%20space%20without%20installing%20a%20brand-new%20kitchen\"><em>How much value\ndoes a new kitchen add?<\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"valuation-widgets\">\n    <div class=\"valuation-widgets__col\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/online-valuation\" class=\"valuation-widget\">\n            <div class=\"media\">\n    <div class=\"media__media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dy36-2.stage.yopa-dev.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/themes\/yopa\/assets\/images\/icon-house.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\">    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media__inner\">\n        <div class=\"media__heading\">\n            Instant online <span class=\"chevron\">valuation<\/span>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"media__content\">\n            <p>Get a rough estimate of your home's value now.<\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"valuation-widgets__col\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yopa.co.uk\/property-valuation\" class=\"valuation-widget\">\n            <div class=\"media\">\n    <div class=\"media__media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dy36-2.stage.yopa-dev.co.uk\/homeowners-hub\/wp-content\/themes\/yopa\/assets\/images\/icon-currency.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\">    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"media__inner\">\n        <div class=\"media__heading\">\n            Face-to-face <span class=\"chevron\">valuation<\/span>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"media__content\">\n            <p>Book an appointment with your local Yopa agent.<\/p>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7) Knocking\nwalls down<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the right\nadvice, knocking down walls can change the whole dynamic of your house and\nallow for a more free-flow, open plan layout. In a world where space is the\nmain catalyst for people searching for their next property, tweaking your\nlayout could really boost the overall sale price. If, for example, you have a\nslightly smaller living room than kitchen, you may want to consider knocking\ndown the adjoining wall to create a single open plan living and dining space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you grab\nthat sledgehammer though, make sure you are aware of the location of load-bearing\nwalls and electrical cables to avoid any costly mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8) Refurbish\nthe bathroom<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Features such\nas underfloor heating, a heated towel rail, and maybe even an extravagant\nshower head can make a really big impact on house viewings. Alternatively, if\nyou still have a peach or avocado bathroom, or the dreaded bathroom carpet,\nthen it may be time for a refresh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst a new\nbathroom can add around 3-5% to your property\u2019s value it is not necessary to\nfit a completely new bathroom if you plan to sell. Small changes like\nregrouting tiles or replacing a mouldy plastic trim on your shower can have a\nbig impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9) Spruce up\nthe garden<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine the sun\nshining in your beautiful garden with modern decking, a new shed, perfect\nflowerbeds and a freshly trimmed green lawn. That is the kind of image many\nbuyers dream of. By sprucing up your garden and clearing any clutter, you could\nadd real value to your home. Adding a patio or decking can also add interest by\nbreaking up the garden into different living spaces and providing a handy\nalfresco dining area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10) Convert\nyour basement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know; it\u2019s\nnot America, and many homes in the UK do not have basements. However, if you\nare one of the lucky ones that do, then converting your basement could be the\nbest investment you ever make. A gym, a games room, a swimming pool, a utility room,\nextra bedrooms, and bathrooms\u2026 each has their own merit depending on your lifestyle.\nSince a basement will share the same floorplan as your house then just think of\nall the extra living space a basement conversion can add! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a\nbasement conversion can cost around \u00a31,600 per square metre on average and excavating\nand underpinning a new basement costs a pricey \u00a32,800 per square metre \u2013 if\nyour property is suitable for this type of extension in the first place \u2013 so you\u2019ll\ndefinitely need to do your sums first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you are planning to sell your home in the near future, or simply want to give your property a stylish makeover for your own benefit, knowing how to add value to your property will help to increase the asking price when (and if) it does go on the market.
