Q & A: Home improvements that add value
Which improvements best add value to a property?
This week, Garry Collins from Hamptons International in Weybridge answers this very important question:
As modern family life has developed it has become increasingly important that the home provides light, spacious and adaptable living space, particularly on the ground floor.
Most new houses build reflect the trend very well and cater to the needs of the family, providing a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room where day-to-day family dining, living and informal entertaining can take place. With this in mind the additional installation of a high-quality kitchen will always prove exceptionally popular and desirable with purchasers.
If you have the space to extend on the ground floor beyond a smaller kitchen, to create an additional open-plan reception area this is definitely well worth considering. Another noticeable and highly-desirable feature of a modern home is the need for high-quality en-suite bathrooms to service as many bedrooms as possible. Superior quality white suites and stainless steel fittings are very popular along with hard flooring such as marble, slate, ceramic tiling or vinyl.
