Which Home Renovations Add The Most Value?
There are countless improvements we can make to our homes in Sheffield, but have you ever wondered which home renovations add the most value to a property? If you’re planning any house improvements, here are four ways you can add value to your Sheffield home without breaking the bank.
1. A Loft Conversion
Adding a room in your loft can boost the sale price of a typical Sheffield home by up to 15% – that number is even higher if you add an en suite, too.
This is particularly useful for homes in busy areas where space is at a premium. If you don’t have a great deal of garden space, a loft conversion is a valuable home renovation to think about investing in.
Some changes to a loft can be completed without planning permission, which is the most cost-effective option. This involves converting up to 50 cubic metres of loft space.
However, if your loft is much bigger, you will need to go through the planning process, which adds time and cost to the home improvement process.
2. Off-Street Parking
Did you know that having off-street parking in areas where parking is tough can add a massive £50,000 to your home’s value? If you live on a busy street and don’t currently have a driveway, this is a great property improvement to consider.
One of the first things new buyers look for when pulling up to a house viewing is the parking situation. If it looks like it’s difficult to park near your home, those potential buyers are going to move on.
Fortunately, it’s a relatively affordable improvement to make to a home, costing anywhere from a few thousand to complete, depending on the size and landscape.
If this is something you’d like to consider for your home in Sheffield, our property maintenance team will be happy to give you a free quote.
3. A New Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so modernising it with a brand-new kitchen adds significantly to the value of your home.
The best part is you don’t have to spend a small fortune to see a return. By investing in new cabinets and worktops, you can add around 15% to the value of your home when it comes time to sell.
If you’re unsure how to modernise your kitchen, our property experts can give you their professional advice and suggest some value-adding updates.
4. A Garage Conversion
Last on our list is a garage conversion. Turning your garage into useable space can add up to 15% to the value of your home, depending on what you turn it into.
Not many buyers look for garages that can house cars anymore, so converting a garage into an office, bedroom, or additional living space is a great home improvement option.
