If you’re considering moving house, you might be thinking about ways to add value to your home before putting it on the market. Even if you’re not considering a move just yet, autumn is a great time of year to take on a home improvement project, before the cold winter months arrive, and it will ensure your home looks great come the spring! Here are a few easy ways to add value to your home this autumn.
Extend it
Adding an extension onto your home can really boost your property’s value, particularly if it allows you to class your home as having an extra bedroom! Think carefully about what type of extension you would like – perhaps you could convert your loft and extend it into a bedroom? Maybe you want to build a garage extension that can be used as a home office or playroom? Whatever type of extension you choose, make sure you hire a reliable contractor to carry out the work – and remember that you will probably need planning permission from your local council too!
First impressions
First impressions count, and one of the first things visitors (and potential buyers) will see is your driveway, so why not consider refinishing it? Tarmac or asphalt drives are not only hardwearing and will last for years to come, they’re also attractive and low maintenance. You could even add decorative stones or edging to your new driveway for a polished look. If you’re looking for a company specialising in driveways in Gloucester, there are plenty to choose from, but make sure you do your research. Whilst you might think it’s easy installing driveways, Gloucester contractors – Cheltenham Surfacing Co. Ltd. have years of experience and knowledge that will ensure your project looks perfect. Always get a quote before you commit to using their services!
Revamp it
Revamping your kitchen or bathroom is a great way to add value to your home. This could be as simple as replacing cupboard doors in your kitchen, adding new lighting to your bathroom or actually stripping out your existing fittings and having a brand new kitchen or bathroom fitted. Buyers love a modern bathroom and stylish kitchen, so you’ll be adding value to your home instantly – and of course you’ll get to enjoy the benefits of a new kitchen and bathroom too!
