A lot of home sellers do not realise that they can considerably boost their property’s value. It is vital to look after your investment if you want to get home buyers with the biggest budget to invest in your home. However, it can be really challenging to know what sort of changes are actually going to bring the most value and make the biggest difference in terms of the money you can receive. 

Get a new bathroom - Up to 5% 

If you embark on getting a new bathroom fitted, you can expect to boost the value of your home from three to five per cent. However, this can be an improvement that costs quite a bit, so you do need to think about your options with care. There are a lot of ways you can boost value and make some savings. For instance, instead of going for a frameless model, choose a framed shower enclosure. Keeping your current layout can lower the cost as well.

Garden and curb appeal - Up to 10% 

Next, improving your garden is a good idea. Most people today are looking for beautiful and spacious gardens but they are not easy to come by. There are a lot of ways you can make your garden more appealing, from decking to creating a patio area for outdoor dining. Of course, you will also want to make sure that your garden is filled with beautifully scented and vibrant flowers as well. The good news is that it should not be too difficult to do so. You can easily buy plants online, as well as garden furniture for your outdoor space. 

Extend your kitchen with a side-return extension - Up to 15%

If you do not know what a side return is, this refers to the narrow space opposite a kitchen. A lot of terraced and semi-detached homes have this feature. If your property has one, you may want to consider extending your kitchen into this space, giving you a much bigger kitchen and ensuring you do not have a wasted area in your home. 

Convert your cellar - Up to 30%  

In addition to the suggestions we have mentioned so far, turning your cellar into a living space or a storage space could increase your property’s value by as much as 30 per cent. That is a big increase, right? Plus, when you consider the fact that this can actually be one of the least complicated property improvements, as you are not going to require any planning permission, it is not hard to see why this change comes recommended.

Final words on choosing property improvements that will actually add value to your home as well

As you can see, there are a lot of ways for you to give the value of your property a boost. If you opt for one of the ideas that we have mentioned above, you should increase your property’s value so long as you choose quality materials and a great design.
