1. Loft Conversions
Loft
conversions will continue to be a popular way to add value to your home in
2015, and can add up to 20% to your house value, according to a survey
conducted by the Nationwide building society[1].
The
reasons behind this value increase are clear when you think about the amount of
space your house will be gaining; most lofts will easily accommodate a master
bedroom plus en suite or dressing room, or a large games room, home office,
playroom, or a combination of a few of these room types.
If
you are going to convert your loft this year, make sure all work is carried out
by professional architects and building contractors, as a poorly executed loft
conversion could actually devalue your home.
2. Kitchen Extensions
The
kitchen-diner-family room extension continues to be popular this year. If
you’re finding it’s becoming a squeeze to work, dine or just generally live in
your existing kitchen, this could be the year to do something about it. A
well planned extension will almost always add value to your home and as the
lifestyle offered by a kitchen-diner is so sought after at the moment, this is
a good extension to pick, particularly as the house
extension costs will reap far more in resale value.
3. Adding Bedrooms
Creating
extra space in any home is always a winner, and additional bedrooms are one of
the best ways of boosting your home’s value this year. Whether you decide to
opt for a loft conversion, a double storey extension or a granny (or teenager)
annexe, you won’t regret adding an additional bedroom. Whatever
project you decide to undertake this year, make sure you complete it to the
best possible standard. Talk to Bespoke Lofts about all your extension and loft
conversion needs, and we’ll help to add value to your home.
