\n

As London house prices maintain their strength, new types of\u00a0improvements are becoming fashionable. One recent announcement from skylight manufacturers Sunsquare suggested that a skylight could add \u00a350,000 to the value of a property in the capital for an outlay of \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n

\"window\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two separate surveys,\u00a0by peer-to-peer lenders Zopa and the Daily Telegraph (who spoke to Estate Agents) compared the value of more traditional improvements, with interesting results.<\/p>\n

Zopa\u00a0suggested that the average home improvement would add a\u00a010 per cent to the value of a home, nationwide.\u00a0They\u00a0asked users who had taken out home improvement loans what changes they made and how much profit the work had added to their property value – the answer was\u00a0an average of \u00a330,000.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph survey compared Estate Agent estimates of added value from a number of possible improvements.<\/p>\n

\"loft\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Loft conversions and\u00a0new kitchens added 10 to\u00a020%, a new bathroom 8 – 10%, an ensuite bathroom 3 – 5%, and a conservatory 12 – 12%.<\/p>\n

Adding\u00a0garden room was worth an increase of 15 – 20%, and an extension 10 – 20%, Adding an outdoor swimming pool only added 2%.
\n\"painter\"<\/a>
\nOf particular interest to us and our clients, a complete cosmetic redecoration was estimated to add 10 – 12% to the property’s value, representing excellent value for the money outlayed.<\/p>\n

When the time does come for you to redecorate, we hope to have the chance to discuss how we could help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With best wishes<\/p>\n
