5 Large Home Renovations for Adding Value to Properties

Home renovations can take a long time to complete and will typically disrupt your daily life, so you need to clarify whether the effort will reflect the reward. Understanding the renovations with the highest yield is a great place to start, and we’ve gathered together the top five below.

Extending Your Home

If your family is about to grow or you need an additional room for an office, why not build an extension to your home? Increasing the size of your property by adding a new room is one of the best ways to boost its value. To get the most out of your investment, be sure to use materials that will complement the rest of your home. For example, if you’re adding a conservatory, make sure the new pitched roof windows pair well with existing windows.

Garage or Loft Conversions

If your home has an unused garage or loft, you can convert them into functional living spaces, which will help increase the value. This project will be easier than a full extension, but you’ll need to consult with a professional to make sure any work won’t implicate the rest of your home. This is especially important if you’re finishing a loft, as any changes will influence the existing structure.

When it comes to design, it’s still essential to make sure your loft or garage conversion matches the rest of your home. For example, when you’re picking out your pitched roof windows from a reputable roof window outlet, it’s important to find a style that suits your home’s vibe. After all, if you’re looking to sell your home, any changes you make need to appeal to buyers.

HVAC Installation

The cost of living has risen considerably, meaning more buyers are prioritising the quality of heating systems. A great way to fulfil this need and add considerable value to your home is by installing an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and conditioning) system. These work by withdrawing air from your home, removing existing heat, and filling your home with fresh air.

Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen has fast become the focus of the home, which is why renovations are extremely popular. Typically, a kitchen remodel will allow a homeowner to recover around 52% of the cost once the home is sold. Upgrading a kitchen’s cabinets and appliances may not seem important, but you’d be surprised at the value it will hold with potential buyers.

Bathroom Makeover

Bathroom renovations are another hot commodity for buyers, as they’re seeking out homes with a clean finish, which can be achieved by plumbing in new hardware, retiling, and repainting. If you explore the link in the above section, you will find that bathroom renovations have a return of around 57% of the cost.

Before selling your home, you may wish to add value to your property, but you need to ensure it will be worth your time and money. All of the upgrades outlined above are high on the list of current buyer priorities.
