British homeowners, who are planning to renovate or modify their home through use of the employment of a third party, have been advised to do their homework first before committing to any works.

A recent survey conducted by a niche builder and construction firm review portal has recently announced that UK homeowners should be extremely cautious if choosing to have building works carried out by “skilled” professionals.

Accordingly, more than 3 million people within the UK, who have had building works completed by an independent party, have stated that they were less than satisfied with the final result.

The site suggests that any person who chooses to employ the services of a professional builder or craftsperson should obtain as many references as possible before proceeding, as in some cases, poorly carried out work can reduce the value of a person’s home by a substantial margin.

A spokesperson for the site commented that in response to the current uncertainty affecting the future of the housing market, vast numbers of would-be movers are now staying put, opting instead, to improve the quality of their existing home. It is in light of this trend that homeowners are urged to be especially vigilant in their choice of building firm, as they may hinder their future moving prospects.

The site goes on to mention that some 20% of homeowners use loans and mortgage extensions to finance their prospective projects.
