Yes – that’s right. You can add as much as 15%, maybe more, to the value of your home in under a week – provided you get your skates on. And this is not ‘hype’ or a trick – this information comes from various sources and surveys across the nation – from home owners, people selling their homes, people buying homes, estate agents, and mortgage companies too.
Abbey National recently asked 100 Estate Agents “which home improvements” do they consider “add most to the value of a home?” What was surprising is that it’s not the large projects like extensions or expensive kitchens that add the most value – in fact, they said, often these tend to lose money - as much as 50% on their cost!
No, what does increases value has more to do with adding ‘lifestyle’ features that provide the greatest return when it comes to valuing a house.
They say that “for every £1,000 spent on ‘lifestyle’ features you can reckon on adding more than £3,500 to the value of your home”
Why? Because most people envy, and like to buy into, those signals of ‘success’ so effortlessly portrayed by lifestyle ‘visuals’. Features, such as wooden flooring - which is light and hygienic, provides a sense of space and elegance, wonderfully easy to keep clean and dust free, and exceptionally robust and long lasting – can make a huge difference to the value of your home.
