Add Value to your Home through Home Improvements

9 March 2017 by Eileen

Home improvements can breathe new life into a property and ultimately add more value to your home in the long run. From building a new kitchen to a loft conversion, from changing bathroom to windows, undoubtedly it will give your home a new facelift.

Add Value to your Home through Home Improvements SAGA

You could spend thousands of pounds on home improvements but adding value to your home does not always have to be expensive. There are many ways you could improve your home without having to spend all your available cash. But, if you require the money for the home improvements and you are over 55, the Saga Equity Release Advice Service may be able to help you access money tied up in your home. In fact, 61% use their money generated from equity release for home improvements according to Saga research.

We have been in our home for nearly 10 years and throughout that time, we have been trying to improve our home with various updates and renovations. When we first bought the house, it came with a decent size garden which allowed us to build a conservatory. It flows nicely with the rest of the house and has given us much more room for our children to play.

Next we landscaped our back garden and it now has decking and rows of evergreen plants. It is a great place for all of us to enjoy especially during the summer.

As we have been living here for almost 10 years, some parts of our house was looking a little tired and needed a fresh lick of paint or a complete refresh. Early last month, we changed our shower cubical and painted the walls. Then we updated it with some soft furnishings and now it looks almost brand new.

Our house has so much of potential for us to work on and improve. Not forgetting the loft and garage. In fact, in many homes, the garage is no longer a place to store your precious car. It is a place for you to store junk. If you lack of space, you might want to convert it into a work place.

Also, updating your kitchen is a must if you want to add more value to your home. It is always the first thing people really look into it. So what would you do to increase the value of your home?
