What are the best improvements to add value to your home?

What are the best improvements to add value to your home?

New bathrooms, central heating and garden makeovers are just some of the ways that you can add value to your property.

A recent survey carried out by Bilendi on behalf of GoCompare Home Insurance has revealed that 85% of homeowners have carried out major buildingworks on their properties within the last five years.

Interior Redecoration

46% of all those suveyed had redecorated within the home.

Bathroom & Kitchen Renovations

27% of those surveyed had installed a new bathroom which was the 2nd most popular home renovation after redecorating. 24% have also invested in a new kitchen.

Energy Efficiency

Investing in energy efficient measures for the home was evidentially important to homeowners, 19% of which opted to install double glazing. A further 11% of property owners improved the insulation in a bid to be more energy conscious. Installing a new central heating system or a new boiler was the sixth most undertaken home improvement.

Garden Makeover

Undertaking a garden make over was the 4th most popular home improvement, according to the survey, which if a property owner is looking to sell is a huge plus point for impressing potential buyers.
