Lofts for value
If you’re looking to increase the value of your home, maybe you should consider a loft conversion.
A loft conversion is a fantastic way to raise your homes profile. The cost of undertaking such a project varies depending on your geographical location but on average the cost to the consumer is around £25000.
This type of investment could raise the average home value by a whopping £100,000, and makes the property more appealing to potential buyers. Many homeowners in the UK are unaware of the value in this type of home improvement. A dormer loft conversion effectively adds an additional floor to the home, which on an average two-storey home can add a third to the market value.
There are some downsides with this type of project. A loft conversion can be quite a complex task and as such can be a long and drawn out process. The main disadvantage of which can be long term disturbances to home life. There can also be fire risks, and the need for planning permission before such a project can commence.
You should always seek professional advice before committing to any major home improvement. It is also worth consulting a surveyor to ensure that the project will have positive effects on the value of the property once the work is complete.
