Whether you are looking to move in the future or you are more than happy to stay put, there are many ways you can update the interior of your property to add to the value and the personality of your home.
It is important, as a homeowner, to decide which home improvement would be the best for your property. So this week in Home Improvement Quotes we are going to discuss the benefits of adding an extra bedroom, an extra bathroom, or remodelling your kitchen.
Should you update your old kitchen?
The kitchen is often an important aspect of a property to potential buyers or tenants. The key thing about modern kitchens is that they are designed to be functional with plenty of storage space, they should also be attractive, tidy and efficient with easy access between main appliances.If you are looking to sell there are many options for pleasing modern or traditional style kitchens in neutral or minimal colour tones. However if you are ready to create your dream kitchen then your options are seemingly endless and you can add some serious personality to your home this way and tailor your kitchen to your lifestyle.
You need to spend the right amount for your property when updating your kitchen as if you spend too much you might not see a return on your investment and if you spend too little it can reduce the market value of your home. Typically a nice new kitchen can add up to 4-6% on to the value of your home.
What to do about the loo?
If you choose to remodel a bathroom you can help to make a smaller room seem more spacious, and add extra style and functionality. However this does not add as much value to your home as adding an additional bathroom.A second bathroom is often a very lucrative prospect to potential buyers, especially in larger family homes and when adding a bathroom as an en-suite. With modern fixtures you can also squeeze a bathroom in to surprisingly small spaces.
An extra bathroom can add 3-6% to the value of your property and add extra convenience to your home.
Why add an extra bedroom?
An additional bedroom is a great way of adding space to your home and it can also help to increase interest in your home. A good way to add a bedroom, without an extension, is to make use of neglected or disused spaces in the home such as a garage or a loft.A garage conversion would be ideal for you if you do not use your garage and you would have plenty of space to play around with. You could easily convert your garage in to a bedroom with an en-suite, a nursery, a gym, a spare room or even a games room.
If a loft conversion is more suitable for your home, and you have the space available, you can create a really modern and unique selling point for your property. You could use the loft to create your dream master bedroom with an en-suite or a fun upstairs bedroom and play area for older children. If you did decide to convert your loft into a bedroom and a bathroom you can add up to 20% value on to your home.
For growing families it can cost much less and be less stressful to add an extra bedroom than to move home entirely and on average an extra bedroom can add between 9-10% to the property value.
