CHEPSTOW, LYDNEY & CALDICOT 

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

2 EVENTS 

Property Buyers get a feel 

for the Festival Vibe 

The amazing mix of music, arts and show events in and around 

the Wye Valley can boost local property markets. 

Pembridge House, Welsh Newton, Monmouth, 

on the market with Roscoe Rogers & Knight 

When the summer months arrive local B&B’s 

and airbnb’s in Monmouthshire will always 

be busy. Many visitors come for the frequent 

and diverse festivals that take place in and around the 

Wye Valley. 

As the summer approaches, many local towns 

and villages are gearing up for annual festivals. These 

activities are not only a dose of summer fun, they are 

also a good measure of a town or village community 

spirit and liveliness. 

Summer festivals, whether they are focused on 

music, food, cycling, agricultural shows or comedy, 

indicate a stimulating, happening, and for many, 

attractive place to live. 

Although many of these events can be big, 

drawing a large number of crowds, there are many 

other local, under the radar activities that take place 

across Monmouthshire, South Herefordshire and West 

Gloucestershire. Helping to create a sense of belonging, 

they are good news for culture vultures and home 

owners. “The local festivals have a positive effect on 

Trostrey House in Raglan, 

on the market with Archer & Co Usk 

property values here in Monmouthshire” says Phil Smith 

of Roscoe Rogers & Knight, Monmouth. 

We have compiled a selection of some of the best 

events, shows and festivals in the region.

Through the Gateway 

Chepstow is unquestionably a gateway 

town. It has always been so since earliest 

Roman times. Strategically linking the 

beautiful River Wye and the dramatic 

Severn Estuary, it quickly became an 

important trading port.

As a local estate agent we receive new enquiries from potential home buyers daily and whilst every buyer 

We often see trends in buying patterns; town property, country property, modern 

development property, first time buyer property or investment property and these 

trends can be cyclical. For example, the baby boomers looking to downsize can often 

result in large rural properties coming to the market and the demand for modern, low 

maintenance town properties increasing. 

Thus the popularity of the Rockfield development continues practically unabated and 

Number 32 Cornpoppy Avenue is certainly one not to be missed! 

Situated on a much sought after cul de sac with Monmouth Town centre less than a mile 

level walking distance, this stunning, beautifully presented and tastefully decorated four 


bedroom detached house enjoys attractive and private low maintenance gardens. 

Internally the property offers a modern style kitchen with separate utility room, sitting 

room, dining room leading into an attractive conservatory overlooking the gardens, a 

contemporary family bathroom and ensuite to the master bedroom, single garage and 

off road parking for 2 cars.

CHEPSTOW 

9 

Through the Gateway 

Chepstow is unquestionably a gateway town. It has always been so since earliest Roman times. 

Strategically linking the beautiful River Wye and the dramatic Severn Estuary, it quickly became an important 

trading port. It still connects England to Wales via the original Severn Suspension bridge - 

a great way to arrive, by the way. 

The pretty market 

town’s name 

derives from 

the Old English words 

“Chepe” and “Stowe” 

meaning market place, 

and it’s claimed to be 

the home of the nation’s 

oldest surviving stone 

castle. In the past the 

huge, magnificent wooden 

doors of Chepstow castle 

have held back the hordes 

of visitors beating down 

hard on them! But times change and you will now get a very different welcome if you 

choose to visit this picturesque small town. 

This is a great year to visit too, as 2018 is the ‘Year of the Sea’ – a year long 

celebration of Wales’ spectacular, and extremely varied, coastline. Chepstow is a key 

destination on the ‘Wales Coast Path,’ being the start of this picturesque walking route 

which now allows you to walk around the entire land and sea boundaries of Wales; 

870 miles (1,400km) of striking coastline walks and impressive scenery. A ground 

breaking first of its kind, with Wales proudly leading the way. 

At Chepstow you can choose to either follow a short section down to the sea 

or take an inland walk on Offa’s Dyke along the scenic River Wye. You’ll be well 

rewarded on either and following in the footsteps of Wordsworth and Turner. Two 

marker stones, one of local Pennant sand stone, show the start point near the Old 

Town Bridge not far from the castle. Here you can also see a ceramic map on the 

pavement depicting the whole of the Wales Coast Path and Offa’s Dyke Path Trail. 

You can learn more 

about the history of 

the town, and the 

surrounding areas, in 

the fascinating museum 

opposite the castle and 

also in the great Tourist 

Information Office in the 

Castle Car Park. It’s easy 

to find information about 

local walks as Chepstow 

is officially a ‘Walkers Are 

Welcome’ town. All walks are clearly marked. 

Businesses in the town are happy to help with everything needed for a great 

walking holiday, from helpful baggage transfers to delicious packed lunches. 

If you decide to rest your weary head – or perhaps feet – all budgets are catered 

for from 5 star luxury to the walker’s hostel. You will also find a great selection of 

charming holiday cottages as well as glamping/camping options in the local area 

that borders the stunning Forest of Dean; and the Wye 

Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 

- the perfect spots to ‘Find Your Epic.’ 

Will Renwick, President of Ramblers Cymru, and the 

youngest person to walk round the entire country using 

the Wales Coast Path when it first opened, commented, 

“We have an unbelievable coastline in Wales. If you’re 

thinking of going overseas this summer, consider 

spending a week or two exploring what we have here.” 

Well said Will. 

Add to the mix the wonderful countryside, 

independent locally run shops and markets, a 

great racecourse and golf course on the doorstep, 

and stunning wedding venues; there’s something 

for everyone in Chepstow, making it a remarkable 

destination that you’ll want to visit time and time again!

Unlock the value of your 

home with Equity Release 

Improving health and an increase in life expectancy is putting a strain on people who 

fund their lifestyle on limited resources, particularly in times of instability on stock 

markets and low interest rates. 

Coupled with this is the increase in debt being carried into retirement, funding the 

provision of care, supporting children in adulthood and the growth in relationship 

breakdown with the over 60s. 

As an owner, your property is probably your biggest asset and with the passage 

of time there has been an ever-increasing number of homeowners turning to equity 

release as a means of releasing some of the tax-free cash tied up in it. What started off 

as a scheme to enable people in need to release capital or income from their home has 

developed into an integral part of financial planning to be used in a variety of ways 

including: 

• maintaining your standard of living by supplementing income or replacing capital 

• consolidating credit cards, loans and other debts 

• paying off an interest-only age restricted mortgage 

• home improvements and adaptations 

• holiday of a lifetime 

• funding medical and social care 

• assisting children and grandchildren on the property ladder 

• funding divorce or civil partnership settlements for self or children 

• paying school and university fees 

• mitigating inheritance tax 

Equity release is highly regulated and there are many safeguards in place to protect 

those who take out a plan, however, it is important that advice is sought from a 

specialist solicitor and financial adviser with the relevant experience early in the 

process.

14 ADVICE 

Voluntary First 

Registration of Title 

Titles to properties in England and Wales fall into two 

categories, registered and unregistered. 

Approximately 84% of all property titles are now registered 

and the Land Registry is keen to encourage 

voluntary first registration of the remaining 16%. 

The Land Registry offer a 25% reduction on its fees for such an application. If 

you own unregistered land then there are a number of reasons why you may 

wish to consider a voluntary registration. 

Since 1990 it has been compulsory to register land ownership. However, a trigger 

to do so only occurs when there is a sale of a property, a mortgage or some other 

change of ownership. There is a possibility that your property may be unregistered if 

it has not been sold, mortgaged or transferred for at least 30 years. There are many 

reasons why you should consider such an application: - 

• Registered titles come with a state backed guarantee and are more secure. 

Historically, title was proved by old deeds but a registered title is now recorded 

on a central register allowing you to have access to proof of ownership. Currently 

there are approximately 25 million titles registered on the Land Registry Database. 

• Registered land is less susceptible to property fraud due to the Land Registry 

identification procedures. If anyone attempts to make a claim on your land, the 

Land Registry will notify you of that application. If your title is unregistered the 

Land Registry do not know that you are the owner of the property and so cannot 

contact you. 

• Generally speaking, selling a property with a registered title simplifies the sale. It is 

not uncommon when selling an unregistered title to find there are issues with the 

title plans, descriptions of the property and even missing title documents which 

can delay the sale and even cause the sale to fall through leading to frustration, 

unnecessary expense and disappointment for all parties involved. If there are 

any issues with an unregistered title these will be resolved when a voluntary first 

application is made. 

• If the unregistered title documents to your property are destroyed, lost or stolen 

you would have to reconstruct the title which can be expensive and would require 

an application to the Land Registry for registration of title.

Afan Valley 

Adventure Resort 

Having completed the purchase of the 450 acre site 

in South Wales, Northern Powerhouse Developments 

are moving closer to delivering 

Afan Valley Adventure Resort. 

Work has already begun to transform the 450-acre site into an exhilarating 

adventure playground, where visitors can indulge in high-octane 

activities or enjoy total relaxation and the chance to socialise, all in one 

inspirational location. 

This groundbreaking new holiday resort will be the ultimate adventure playground 

for a multitude of outdoor pursuits and adrenalin-fueled activities. The multi million 

pound Northern Powerhouse project in South Wales is to partner with Landal 

GreenParks, the luxury family brand who operate Centre Parcs. 

Peter Moore OBE, Chairman of Northern Powerhouse Development Leisure, and 

one of the most experienced figures in the UK leisure industry, said: “The appointment 

of Landal GreenParks adds critically-relevant experience, not only in generating 

vital income through holiday bookings, but also in working collaboratively with us 

across the multiple areas of the park. We could not have found a better-equipped 

organisation to partner with for our first resort.” 

Split into four activity zones: Alpine, Forest, Trails and Xtreme, the resort will 

provide the perfect base for those looking for sheer fun, and light escape to those 

searching for a more serious test of strength and stamina. 

From downhill skiing to water sports; high-wire forest adventures to off-road 

biking; survival training to trampolining, and surfing to zorbing, this is a resort that 

will deliver a stunning menu of physical discoveries. 

Alongside the staggering wealth of activities, the resort will also include a stunning 

Central Plaza, which will be home to shops, bars and restaurants while luxury 

accommodation will be provided by 400 lodges and a 100-bedroom hotel and spa. 

With some of the world’s most experienced architectural designers and leisure 

professionals appointed to ensure the highest quality and authenticity for guests, plus 

the support of the Welsh Government, Afan Valley Adventure Resort is gearing up for 

an impressive future. 

Jean Liggett, managing director of Properties of the World, said “The Afan Valley 

Adventure team have billed the resort as ‘the world’s ultimate outdoor adventure’. This 

is a first and everyone we speak to including our buyers are very excited.” 

Afan Valley Adventure Resort will be a great property ownership proposition with 

a fantastic lifestyle offering that will please the whole family. 

Bear Grylls has also recently announced the Survival Academy, which will be based 

at Afan Valley Adventure Resort.

Beer on the Wye Festival 2018 

Held in a grand marquee pitched on the genteel banks of the River Wye next to the city’s Rowing Club, 

Beer on the Wye returns over the weekend of the 6th to 8th July. 

It’s become a ‘must do’ event 

for many in Herefordshire, 

not just because of the 

amazing selection of over 320 

different beers, ciders and 

perries waiting on the festival 

bars to be sampled, but also 

because it has something for 

everyone. And it’s got a great 

laid-back vibe to boot. People 

come back year after year. 

The Friday and Saturday 

afternoons have a mellow, family-friendly atmosphere with ample opportunity to have 

a riverside picnic with friends, with sensibly 

priced hot and cold food (including veggie 

options) available at all times. The evenings then 

move up a gear, when eight live bands take to 

the festival stage and get the marquee seriously 

rocking. Last year over 6,000 people found 

their way down to what has become the friendly 

festival down by the river! 

However, it’s also nice for Mum’s and Dad’s 

to come along together, so Sunday is the everpopular 

Family Fun Day. 

With admission only £1 (accompanied kids free), there’s oodles of fun and 

activities to keep the little people amused, along with live acoustic sounds, plus 60p 

off a pint to keep the adults happy! 

And there are some improvements for this year too. Posh loos will replace the old 

portaloos, and there’s more seating provided. It promises to be an even better show.

NEW BUILDS 

25 

Buying a new-build home 

To try and tackle the national shortage of property, the government is placing a big focus on new-build homes 

at the moment, pledging to build one million more in the next five years. 

The government is heavily incentivising buying new-build homes; you can buy a 

new home with a deposit of just 5% using the Help to Buy equity loan scheme. 

Below are some of the advantages for this type of home from Which? 

Advantages of buying new-build homes 

Guarantees: new-build homes come with a 10-year NHBC warranty covering 

structural defects. Most developers also provide their own two-year warranty. 

Specification: new homes are built to the latest specifications, so major repairs 

should be unnecessary for the first few years. They tend to be more energy-efficient, 

too, so you could benefit from lower utility bills. 

Personalisation: if you buy off-plan, you might be able to choose your fixtures 

and finishes. This is great if you’re attracted by the ‘blank canvas’ element of buying 

new-build. 

Incentives: the government’s Help to Buy equity loan scheme and Starter Homes 

Initiative are only available on new homes. 

Ease of purchase: there’s no upward chain to contend with when you buy a 

new-build home. 

Another appealing aspect of buying a new build is that you will be the first to 

live in the property, whether you are a first time buyer, have a growing family or are 

downsizing to plan for the future. Other benefits include low repair and decoration 

costs and also the best energy efficiency ratings and standings, ensuring low running 

costs for your home. 

The Home Owner Alliance advises that just like a new car, a new build house will 

depreciate in price the minute you turn the key in the door. Even in a rising property 

market you may not get your money back if you have to sell within a year or two. 

Here are out top tips for tackling this: 

Compare the new build home you are looking at with similar “old” properties 

in terms of value, space, and rental value, in the local area. Check the price per square 

foot, and compare it with the resale market so you understand the extent of the 

premium you will be paying. 

Negotiate with the developers. Find out what other properties on the site 

have been sold for on Zoopla or Rightmove. There can often be deals to be done at the 

end of their financial year, or when there are only a few properties left to be sold. 

Shop around for good deals. Many developers offer incentives to 

differentiate them from other local developers, such as free furnishings, a car parking 

space, or by paying your legal fees or stamp duty. If you can’t negotiate money off the 

price, the offer to pay your stamp duty is probably the best freebie to take up as it will 

probably save you the most money, but be aware that any incentives offered by the 

developer over about 5% will impact on how much your lender is willing to hand out. 

Plan to stay put for a few years. Future-proof your purchase by ensuring 

it fits with your personal plans for the next few years. Could your new partner move 

in? Could you comfortably fit a new baby in? 

Think about adding value. When buying, think about whether there is 

scope to add value in the future - a conservatory on the back, a landscaped garden, or 

a loft conversion. You may not be able to afford it now, but it may be an option in the 

future, or make your home a more attractive proposition to future buyers wanting to 

add value.

28 THROUGH THE KEY HOLE 

What dreams are made of… 

Sharon Chilcott visits an idyllic part of the Wye Valley to find out more 

about a local couple’s visionary plans… 

A 

stunning, secluded site on the slopes of Leys Hill, near Ross-on-Wye, has the potential to provide five dream family homes and the retirement (or 

relocation) that business owners Stella and Graham Mitchell dream of for themselves. 

The site, near Kerne Bridge on the River Wye, is set in the beautiful and tranquil surroundings of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural 

Beauty and has full planning permission for five distinctive and prestigious six-bedroom detached homes, designed by local architect Graham Frecknal. 

Each property will stand in its own plot of about ¾ acre and will take advantage of the superb scenery and mature landscaped grounds which 

currently surround the Wye Valley Spa and Club Cats, the ladies-only spa sanctuary and associated fitness club which Graham and Stella own and run. 

Sharon Chilcott

29 

“We’ve been here 31 years, now,” says Graham. “Initially 

we ran the site as the CATS children’s nursery. Over the years 

we developed to include a kids’ club, then we added leisure 

facilities for the parents and more recently we have been 

running it as a ladies-only sanctuary with separate personal 

training. Now we are ready to retire - or at least look for 

another business location. We are prepared to consider all 

things because we are a dynamic couple.” 

It’s taken about three years to get full planning permission 

on the site and the plans would see the couple’s existing home 

and business premises demolished to make way for one of the 

impressive new builds. “Although the houses will be superb, 

grand properties, all of them will be more than we would 

want,” says Graham. “My ideal would be to disappear into 

the sunset in a luxurious travel trailer, but realistically, that’s 

unlikely because Herefordshire’s a beautiful county and we’d 

inevitably stay on in this area!” 

He adds: “Leys Hill is a particularly lovely spot, especially 

for outdoor pursuits, and what’s fantastic about it is the views 

and the wildlife. You can see the meandering River Wye below; 

deer from our back kitchen window and the peregrine falcons 

when they are reeling round the Symonds Yat area.” 

Graham also points out that the location is very accessible 

for commuters. “It is within easy reach of the motorway 

network, convenient for Wales, Bristol, Birmingham and the 

Midlands. The fact that there will be no Severn Bridge tolls 

makes this area attractive to people who want to take advantage 

of the private schools in Monmouth and still commute to 

Bristol or even the south east.” 

Phil Smith of selling agents Roscoe Rogers and Knight in 

Monmouth said: “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 

a developer with real vision to construct five fabulous family 

homes in a stunning rural location, yet with easy access to Ross 

and Monmouth and the major road networks. Finished to a 

superior quality, I can see these homes each selling for a million 

pounds plus, and would expect them to be extremely desirable 

and sought after. There’s real demand in this area for high end 

properties like this and it’s a demand which has not being 

satisfied to date.” 

The five unique and stylish dwellings have been cleverly 

set on the broad strip of land which follows the contours of 

Leys Hill. All will enjoy exceptional far reaching views over 

the Wye Valley and will be accessed off the existing private 

tarmac driveway. The impressive house designs each provide 

six bedrooms, two of them with en-suites, plus three reception 

rooms, a study and a large open plan kitchen/dining area. Also 

included are utility and storage spaces; double garages with car 

turntables and personal lifts at the front entrances. Individual 

landscaped grounds and private gardens will provide the 

perfect backdrop for these superior properties. 

There’s more information available on the website http:// 

agoldenopportunity.info. Further details and drawings are 

available from the planning portal reference: P161689/F 

(Herefordshire Council) or from the office of Roscoe Rogers 

and Knight.

Kier and Homes England 

announce 10-year housebuilding 

joint venture 

An innovative joint venture (JV) partnership has been formed between Kier, Homes England 

and Cross Key Homes that will deliver up to 5,400 new homes over the next ten years 

in areas of the country with the greatest need. 

This pioneering collaboration between Government and Kier Living, the 

residential division of Kier Group, will supply mixed tenure housing 

projects in key geographical locations across England. 

The first four sites to form the partnership are confirmed today, with 

a number in the West Midlands, an area identified as having a significant 

housing delivery shortfall. The initial developments are; The Laurels in Tipton, 

Meadowbank in Newcastle-under-Lyme, The Orchards in Rushwick and 

Chelmsley Lane in Marston Green. The pipeline for additional sites is strong 

and modelled to grow to 18 trading sites spanning the breadth of the country 

by the middle of 2020. Over the lifetime of the JV, the intention is to create 

diverse communities, with 30% of all of the homes set at affordable levels. 

The JV will invest in skills and new innovations throughout the lifetime 

of its partnership. At least three new apprenticeships will be supported at 

each site and a minimum of 50% of labour will be employed from the local 

area, to bring maximum benefit to the communities in which they develop. A 

Shaping Your World Virtual Plaque will be installed at each development, 

providing information about the site and local area as well as detail on the 

breadth of jobs available in the built environment. Over the duration of the 

JV, the aspiration is that 20% of the homes will be delivered through modern 

method of construction (MMC). 

Kier Living has strong and long-standing relationships with Homes England 

(formerly the Housing and Communities Agency), having been appointed to 

its £8bn Delivery Partner Panel framework, and has worked extensively with 

Cross Keys Homes, including a JV to deliver new homes across the east of 

England, with 357 units completed to date. 

Homes England is taking a 26% equity stake in the JV and will provide 

up to £27m in mezzanine funding from its £3 billion Home Building Fund. 

Homes England’s Investments team was recently named as Residential 

Financier of the Year in this year’s RESI Awards and the JV with Kier and Cross 

Key Homes England is another significant investment to support the residential 

development market. 

John Anderson, executive director of Kier Living, said: “This joint venture 

is an important new milestone, bringing Homes England, Kier and Cross Keys 

together in an innovative industry model. It is fuelled by the shared ambition 

of three like-minded organisations to bring forward development activity and 

get more homes built, against a backdrop of housing demand continuing to 

outstrip supply. 

“Working collaboratively, we have the ability to embrace new ways of 

working, and to maximise our collective assets, resources and capabilities to 

deliver key developments that will provide new homes in areas of the country 

with the greatest housing need. And we will work in ways that will help to 

stimulate the local economy and to encourage individuals to explore a career in 

our industry.” 

Nick Walkley, chief executive for Homes England, comments: “At Homes 

England, we’re using our finance, land and expertise to get more homes built 

in areas of greatest need. Our innovative deal with Kier Living and Cross Keys 

Homes shows how we intend to form new kinds of commercial partnerships to 

increase housing supply, address affordability issues and generate value for the 

public purse. It’s also hugely important that the JV will promote skills, modern 

methods of construction and a choice of tenures to give real choice to local 

people.” 

Claire Higgins, chief executive of Cross Keys Homes, adds: “I am really 

delighted to be embarking on another joint venture with Kier. We have been 

working together successfully on a number of other projects and to expand 

this partnership even further with Homes England as a partner too is really 

exciting. By working together we have been able to demonstrate the creative 

thinking needed to increase the supply of housing in general and for us, 

affordable homes in particular. Kier is a great business to work with and I 

look forward enormously to taking our partnership to the next level via this 

innovative venture.”

Fascinating map reveals the literal 

translations of every country in Europe 

We live in a time of air travel and global exploration. We’re free to roam the planet and discover new countries and 

cultures. But how much do you know about the people who lived and explored these destinations in times past? 

Learning the etymology - the origin of words - of countries around the world offers us fascinating insight into the 

origins of some of our favourite travel destinations and the people who first lived there. 

Europe has a long history of exploration, and 

many of the country names reflect the lands and 

those who explored them. 

France takes its name from a coalition of Germanic 

tribes, the Franks. The name Frank comes from the Old 

German word franka, meaning ‘fierce’, making France 

the Land of the Fierce. 

Some even map the trails that people used to use to 

discover their world. Norway simply means ‘The Way 

North’, or ‘The Northern Way’, making reference to an 

old Viking route.

each countries name origin can be found at

Wales - Land of the Foreigners 

The origin of the word Wales is a strange one. It is a 

variation on a common word used hundreds of years 

ago by the Anglo Saxons to mean foreigners or outsiders. 

England - Land of the Angles 

Old English Engla land, literally “the land of the 

Angles”. 

Ireland - Land in the West 

The name is a form of Iar-en-land, ‘Land in the West’ 

from the Gaelic iar, ‘west’. 

Spain - Land of Many Rabbits 

Its thought this may come from the Punic span or 

tsepan, ‘rabbit’, which were numerous in the peninsula, 

or from the Punic sphan,‘north’, since it was north of 

Carthage – or it may come from the Basque ezpaña, ‘lip’ 

or ‘extremity’, a reference to this south-western area of 

Europe. 

Italy - Sons of the Bull 

Believed to come from the Vitali tribe whose name 

may be connected to Latin vitulus, ‘calf’, or witaloi, 

‘sons of the bull’. 

Monaco - Single House 

Founded by the Phocaeans in the 6th century bc 

as Monoikos, a Greek word meaning ‘single house’ or 

‘single temple’, signifying a place to rest.

38 HOME IMPROVEMENTS 

Revealed: the property 

improvements that give the 

best and worst returns 

• GoCompare Home Insurance has teamed-up with Henry Pryor, the BBC’s favourite property expert, to develop a 

Property Investment Calculator 

• Most profitable home improvements include installing a new boiler or central heating, energy saving and home security 

• Cost of updating flooring, bathrooms and kitchens may outweigh any added value 

• 26% of home renovations are undertaken to add value to a property but many homeowners could be making a loss by 

opting for the wrong projects 

A 

new calculator launched today shows the home improvements which add 

value to a property and those which could end up leaving you short changed. 

The ‘Property Investment Calculator’, created by GoCompare Home Insurance, 

with the assistance of property expert Henry Pryor, gives homeowners an indication 

of average costs for renovations together with an estimate on the added value and 

potential profit from undertaking the work. 

The Property Investment Calculator enables homeowners to calculate the potential 

profit from a range of home improvements by simply entering their property’s current 

value and renovation budget. The calculator estimates the added value of undertaking 

different home improvements and by deducting the average costs of works, gives an 

indicative profit or loss.

Installing solar panels £5,000.00 £-4,512.42 (-2%) £-9,512.42 

Some of the most profitable projects for homeowners seeking to increase the 

value of their property include installing a new boiler or central heating system, 

making energy saving or home security improvements, or creating off-street parking. 

Redecorating, laying new flooring or updating a bathroom may slightly increase the 

value of a property, however, the costs of doing so generally outweigh any potential 

profit. 

Research** commissioned by GoCompare Home Insurance found that 26% of 

home improvements are undertaken specifically to add value to a property with 

popular renovations including: interior redecoration (53%), fitting a new kitchen 

(42%), replacing flooring (38%), installing a new bathroom (36%), a garden makeover 

(36%), installing new double glazing (29%), installing new central heating or boiler 

(28%). Other works undertaken were: improving insulation (16%), knocking through 

rooms to create an open-plan space (16%), fitting solar panels (9%) and adding a 

conservatory (8%). 

Commenting on the launch of the ‘Property Investment Calculator’, Henry Pryor 

said, “Most people who are thinking of selling their home or looking to improve it to 

add value will consider the merits of a trip to the DIY store, some will even consider 

doing some building work in the hope of adding value, but not all buyers will be 

prepared to pay for your idea of improvements or good taste. Some buyers would 

even prefer to be able to put their own mark on a property and install the bathroom 

or kitchen of their choosing and may even pay for the chance to be able to do so. It’s 

therefore essential that you think carefully why you are spending extra money and 

who will benefit. My advice is usually spend money on the things that you want and 

leave other improvements to the next person who may not share your taste. 

“Most buyers prefer to pay for the opportunity to be able to add an attic 

conversion, kitchen extension or convert a basement. Getting planning permission 

to do the work is frequently the best investment you can make leaving the actual 

choice of layout, decoration and equipment to the next owner. Improving the 

green credentials of a house usually pays - a new boiler, insulation or energy saving 

measures along with security improvements will usually pay off but some additions 

like solar panels will be hard to get a payback on immediately.” 

Ben Wilson, GoCompare’s home insurance spokesman said, “Our new calculator 

gives homeowners an understanding of the typical costs and benefits of undertaking 

a range of projects, before they start the work, allowing them to see the potential 

financial benefits. 

“Our calculator provides indicative valuations and estimates based on national 

data. Therefore, depending on local housing market and labour conditions, the extent 

of the work undertaken, and materials used, figures for individual projects will differ 

and we always recommend people shop around to get quotes for work as well.”

Home Security - Hints & Tips 

Whether you live in a studio apartment, a two bed semi-detached house or a rural manor house, your home is your castle 

and you need to protect it. Home security and safety is an important concern for most people, but it needn’t be a worry. 

With a few simple techniques, you can sleep soundly knowing that your home is as safe and secure as can be. 

Most of us would regard our homes as safe but there could be a few gaps in 

your security system that can easily be fixed. Here’s how: 

Think like a burglar 

Try planning to burgle yourself! This is a great way to uncover any weaknesses in 

your security system that may have previously escaped your notice. 

Always lock up, even if you only pop out for a pint of milk. You would be 

surprised how many burglars just walk in through an unlocked door or window 

and don’t need much of an opportunity to do so. Also think about security of your 

windows and doors. Wooden doors and windows or old uPVC windows can be 

easier to break into. uPVC double glazing windows and doors of the highest quality 

standard, complete with state of the art locks, are ideal for making your home as 

secure as possible. 

Fit an alarm and ensure all wiring is effectively hidden. Many professional burglars 

seek out places where they can disconnect the security system. And if you have a 

faulty alarm that frequently goes off, get it fixed immediately and let your neighbours 

know that it’s been repaired. Many people ignore an alarm that goes off regularly. 

Is there anyone home? Does your house appear occupied at all times? Leave a light 

on that can be seen from outside or use timers to switch radios on and off when you’re 

not at home. 

New home, who has the key? 

Always change all the locks when you move into a new house. You don’t know 

how many people have been given a copy in the past and it’s better to be safe than 

sorry. If you lose your keys, change the locks immediately. 

Before handing your house key over to a cleaner for several hours, make sure the 

person is honest and reputable. Check all references thoroughly. If the house cleaner is 

from a firm, call your local Better Business Bureau to check on the firm’s reputation. 

Locking yourself out is a pain, and leaving a spare key somewhere handy can seem 

like a smart move. But keeping a spare key somewhere notoriously obvious like in 

the mailbox, under the doormat, or on a nail behind the garage, can be a risky move. 

Might you have a trusted neighbour you can leave a key with instead? 

decorative glazing? See who is at the door before opening and with the use of privacy 

glass make it more difficult for intruders to see what’s inside. Frosted glass offers 

privacy, toughened glass offers security and options such as patterned glass, leaded 

windows and even stained glass offer style choices to suite your style. 

Man’s best friend 

Dogs are good deterrents to burglars. Even a small, noisy dog can be effective — 

burglars do not like to have attention drawn to their presence. Be aware, however, that 

trained guard dogs do not make good pets. Obedience training and attack training are 

entirely different, and only the former is appropriate for a house pet. 

Privacy for your place 

As well as looking great, window and door shutters allow you to adjust the amount 

of privacy and offer a stylish alternative to traditional nets or curtains. They can be a 

great deterrent for burglars too as they won’t be able to spot any valuables through the 

window. 

Are your windows and doors double glazed? Alongside being economical and 

durable, uPVC double glazing gives you a sense of being extra safe and secure. 

Nosey neighbours 

Keep your neighbours in the loop, tell them when you’re going away but don’t 

leave notes out for them, these can be welcome notes for a burglar. Also talk to your 

neighbours about any suspicious people or strange cars you notice lurking about, they 

might have seen something suspicious too. 

Stranger danger 

Ask for credentials from any sales-person who requests entry to your home. Ask 

that their ID be pushed under the door. Many professional burglars use this cover to 

check out homes. If you’re doubtful, check with the person’s office before letting him 

or her in. 

If someone comes to your door asking to use the phone to call a mechanic or the 

police, keep the door locked and make the call yourself. 

Why not replace the entrance to your home with a welcoming front door with
