Thinking of making some home upgrades?
Whether you’re sprucing things up for yourself or preparing to sell, some improvements offer better returns than others. We asked our network of trusted trade professionals which projects really add value in today’s market and they didn’t hold back.
1. A Modern Kitchen Refresh
The kitchen is still the heart of the home. Updating doors, handles or worktops can make a huge impact without a full renovation. A clean, functional kitchen consistently appeals to buyers.
2. Energy Efficiency Upgrades
With energy costs top of mind, upgrades like double glazing, insulation and smart thermostats not only reduce bills but attract eco-conscious buyers.
3. Garden and Outdoor Improvements
Think decking, outdoor lighting or even a garden office. Creating a usable outdoor space adds square footage in buyers’ eyes, especially post-pandemic.
4. Fresh Bathrooms
A clean, modern bathroom with good lighting and storage can swing a buyer’s decision. Think new tiles, fixtures, or a rainfall shower.
5. Kerb Appeal
Don’t underestimate the power of first impressions. A freshly painted front door, tidy garden and clean windows can boost your home’s value from the moment someone arrives.
