January is a time of change, and for many homeowners this means selling up and moving somewhere new.
This is particularly apparent this January. The pandemic has changed us and what we want from our homes. With so much time spent indoors, many people have re-evaluated their housing needs. A survey conducted by ConservatoryLand found that a massive 50% of us would move to a bigger property given the chance, with the top reason simply being – “we need more space, indoors and outdoors”.
Right now, sellers are looking to make their homes as appealing as possible to prospective buyers, and that means spending money to make money. Making improvements to outdoor spaces, by adding summerhouses and garden offices, can collectively can add up to £30k to the value of a property.
When it comes to indoor space, extensions add the most value to a home, unsurprisingly, with a self-contained annex at the top of the list, followed by a loft conversion and a kitchen extension.
For those that don’t want to move, but still want desire that extra space, improving their homes and maximising space is the way forward. All this is excellent news for home improvement specialists, because whether people are selling or saying, they are most certainly spending.
