What home renovations could increase the value of your Bournemouth home?
One of the great things about the UK is the variety of properties it has. Here in Bournemouth, we have everything from new-builds to large Victorian homes and plenty more in between. However, one of the challenges this presents is that some of our housing stock isn’t suitable for modern living.
London Loves Business Business recently pointed out that, as a result, an increasing number of homeowners are looking at how they can renovate their homes to make the best use of the space they have, while also adding value to the property.
One of the suggestions was to consider a home extension in Bournemouth, or wherever you live, to give you and your family more living space. The upside to this approach, especially if you choose a single-storey extension, is that these types of additions to a property are often covered by permitted development rights. This means you don’t need planning permission for the work (although always make sure you check what is permitted in your area).
The news site noted that, in many cases, an extension can increase the value of your home because it provides that much sought-after extra space.
Another option to consider is a garage conversion – if you have a garage to convert that is. Many older garages are unsuitable for modern cars, which are much larger than the vehicles people had a couple of decades ago. This means it’s easy for our garages to become glorified storage spaces.
What’s more, if you have a garage in Poole, Bournemouth or elsewhere that you aren’t using and you convert it, you could see up to 15 per cent added to the value of your home, the news provider revealed.
Here at Bournemouth Constructions, we’re passionate about making every house a home, which may mean making alterations to how you use some parts of it and carrying out work to ensure all the space available to you is used to best effect.
As Forbes recently noted, not all renovation projects need to be huge to increase the value of your home. Simple touches, like repainting and making the entrance to your property look as appealing as possible, can be highly effective if you’re looking to sell.
However, for those who want to stay in their Bournemouth home longer term, other projects to consider could be renovating the bathroom or kitchen. Not only will these projects make your home a nicer space to live in, but they can also add a substantial amount to a property’s value when they are completed to a high standard.
If you engage our team at Bournemouth Constructions, you can rest assured that the work will be completed to the highest possible standard. Our experts take great pride in the quality of their work and will do their utmost to ensure your renovation project progresses smoothly and is of excellent quality once it’s finished.
