A Guide to Adding Value

Posted by Resi - Design & Construction on 13th April 2022 -

At Resi, we like to consider ourselves the masters of home improvement - why? Because, since 2016, our designs have helped add on a whopping £71,000,000 in value to UK homes. We’ve been able to deliver these results thanks to our crack team of designers, who know the ins and outs of UK property. What’s more, they’re more than happy to share these secrets!

01. Introduction

Over the last few years, the saying: ‘improve, don’t move’ has become more and more relevant to UK homeowners. In the 1970s it was pretty common for people to look at moving more than once in a ten year period. Nowadays, families are over 15% less likely to make the switch. And it’s not hard to see why.

It’s not easy being a homeowner, and less so for one looking to buy somewhere new. From stamp duty to estate agent fees, the costs of moving house aren’t small. What’s more, in an uncertain UK housing market, you might be asking is now even the right time to move?

But it’s not only the doom and gloom that keeps people from moving. For many, a home is more than just bricks and mortar - it’s your community. Your neighbours, local shops, nearby walks, your kids’ school, all these wonderful things are what give us that warm ‘I’m home’ sensation. So why should you lose them when all you need is more room? A lot of our recommendations give you more space, so your household can keep enjoying your home.

Don’t forget, your home is one of the best ways to invest your cash. Rather than have it languish in ISAs, or take a risk with stocks and bonds, a house lets you reliably grow your funds, whilst retaining control. This guide will help you get the most out of your investment, while also giving your home a new lease of life as you wait for the right time to cash in.
