10 Home Improvements to Increase Your Property Value<br />
Are you considering selling your home and looking for ways to boost its market<br />
value? Investing in strategic home improvements can significantly increase<br />
your property’s worth and attract potential buyers. Utilising our nearly 40<br />
years’ knowledge of home improvement, we’ve compiled a list of ten effective home<br />
upgrades, focusing on adding value to your property. Read on to discover how these<br />
enhancements can make your home more appealing to prospective buyers.<br />
1. Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors<br />
Investing in energy-efficient windows and doors not only enhances the aesthetic<br />
appeal of your home but also reduces energy bills. Opt for high-quality products like<br />
those offered by Glevum Windows, designed to meet UK standards, and improve<br />
insulation.<br />
2. Modern Kitchen Upgrades<br />
The kitchen is often the heart of a home. Updating appliances, adding a fresh coat<br />
of paint, or installing new cabinets and countertops can significantly increase your<br />
home’s value. Consider energy-efficient appliances to appeal to eco-conscious buyers.<br />
10. Insulation Improvements<br />
Proper insulation is vital in a climate as variable as we have in the UK. Ensure your home<br />
is well-insulated, including the roof, walls, and floors. Buyers are increasingly conscious<br />
of energy efficiency, and a well-insulated home can significantly increase its desirability<br />
and value by improving its energy rating.<br />
By focusing on these strategic home improvements, you can enhance your property’s<br />
value and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Whether it’s energy-efficient<br />
windows or a conservatory from Glevum, a stylish kitchen upgrade, or a well-maintained<br />
garden, these investments can pay off substantially when it’s time to sell your home. Start<br />
planning your home improvements today and watch your property value soar.<br />

home. Whether it becomes an extra bedroom, office, or playroom, this addition can<br />
greatly enhance your property’s worth.<br />
5. Landscaping and Garden Enhancement<br />
First impressions matter. Well-maintained gardens and outdoor spaces can enhance your<br />
home’s curb appeal. Invest in landscaping, plant trees and flowers, and create inviting<br />
outdoor living areas. In the UK, a well-designed garden can be a major selling point.<br />

Integrating smart home features like thermostats, security systems, and lighting controls<br />
not only adds convenience but also increases the appeal of your property. Buyers<br />
appreciate the energy efficiency and security these technologies provide. Gone are the<br />
days when such systems had be expensively wired into your home as providers like KASA<br />
allow you to control pretty much any device in your home with wireless connected plugs,<br />
cameras and bulbs – all controlled by a free app.<br />
7. Conservatory or Extension<br />
Consider adding an extension or a conservatory to your home. These additions create<br />
extra living space, whether it’s a larger living room, a home office, playroom, or a sunlit<br />
dining area. They act as a great link to your outside space. A conservatory or extension<br />
can significantly increase your property’s value and appeal to potential buyers looking for<br />
more room. With many people still adopting some form of hybrid working – inside space<br />

8. Upgrade Heating Systems<br />
Efficient heating systems are crucial in the UK. Consider upgrading to a modern, energyefficient<br />
boiler or installing underfloor heating. These improvements not only increase<br />
your home’s value but also make it more attractive to buyers seeking comfort and lower<br />
utility bills.<br />
9. Paint and Decorate<br />
A fresh coat of paint can work wonders. Neutral, light-coloured walls make rooms appear<br />
larger and provide a blank canvas for buyers to envision their own style of décor and how<br />
to make their own imprint. Repainting and refreshing the interior can give your home a<br />
modern, inviting feel.
