Enhancing the value of your home through renovations is a popular choice amongst homeowners. However, determining which DIY projects can produce the most significant benefits can be challenging.
Â
If you plan to sell your property or flip it in the next few years, you need to be selective about the renovations you undertake. Some renovations are more profitable than others, and it’s essential to be aware of them.
Â
Here are LaDelfa Estate’s top four renovation ideas based on UK demand that can add value to your home:
Â
1. Conservatory
A conservatory is a popular choice amongst UK buyers as it adds more living space to your home and can increase the natural light that spans across the downstairs area. Installing a double-glazed or solar-controlled glass conservatory can be a cost-effective solution to increase your home’s value without the need for a costly extension.
Â
2. Loft Conversion with a Bedroom En-suite
Adding an extra bedroom with an en-suite bathroom to your loft can significantly increase the value of your home. The more bedrooms you have, the higher the value of your property. Loft conversions can add up to 15% to the valuation estimate.
Â
3. Garden Office
As more people work from home, installing a home office in your garden could be a wise investment. A summer house converted into a productive home office can cost between £5,000 and £20,000. The additional space can add value to your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Â
4. Open Plan Kitchen-Living Space
Knocking down the wall that separates your kitchen and living room can create an open plan layout and add value to your home. However, it’s crucial to seek professional advice to prevent any structural damage.
