Upgrading your residential investments can get pricy – but do these upgrades really increase the value of your property? Recent studies claim British people spend £83billion pounds per year on refurbishments for their properties.
Upgrade the kitchen (Up to 20% increase in value): It is one of the most important areas of the house, and a deal breaker for many so it must be a first smart investment. Having a new, upgraded kitchen will give that immediate impressive appearance – Even only upgrading worktops and cupboards can bring a healthy boost!
Converting the Loft into an office (Up to 15% increase in value):
Working from home is here to stay, and for many people looking to rent another house, having an office or workspace area can significantly increase the property’s value – Specially in post-Covid times!
Increasing natural light (Up to 8% increase in value):
Natural light is in demand post COVID, as it makes rooms feel more spacious and brighter – The time spent at home has made people change their mind in what to look for in a property.
Add an En-suite Room (Up to 5% increase in value):
There is also a growing demand for built-in bathrooms, so this can help to maximise your return on your rental property.
