Will home improvements add value to my property?

Will home improvements add value to my property?

Since the 1990s, we have been a nation of amateur property developers.  We often don’t just see our homes as a place to live, but a way to also maximise our investment.  Our love for DIY and home improvements is borne out in the log queues outside of B&Q, and the fact that the UK spends on average, £22 billion a year on DIY.

So it can be somewhat disappointing when our passionate renovations, and often, our financial investment is not metered out in the eventual sale price of our home, or not embraced quite so passionately by those looking to buy.

If you are looking at your home as somewhere you enjoy living, somewhere you want to be comfortable and to stay, of course improvements should be done for you.  But if you are looking at eventual profit, you should consider which improvements do add value, and which do not.
