Ways You Can Improve The Value Of Your Home

Increasing the value of your property is a long term investment, and small changes can have an impact on the marketability of your home. We have taken a look at just a few of the upgrades you can make around your property (inside and out) to begin working towards your dream home.

Making your front and back gardens more welcoming to friends, family and guests is something that everyone wants, especially when trying to turn a house into a home.

There’s plenty of ways you can improve the appearance of your exterior spaces without breaking the bank or completely excavating your land.

Plant Flower Beds and Borders

Flower beds and floral displays can make the biggest difference in a garden. Turning barren, dry borders into multi-coloured displays instantly catches the eye and creates a beautiful arrangement of foliage and flowers – and it’s good for the bees too!

Don’t want to, or are unable to begin digging up your borders? Not to worry! You can easily create an excellent display of colour by using plant pots, flower boxes and containers.

Create a Pathway and Patio Area

Designing a pathway to take visitors from one end of the garden to another is an easy way to improve the look and feel of your outside space. You can create these yourself with gravel, pebbles, or stepping stones.

Not only does it make your garden look more put together and professionally designed – it can help keep feet away from your grass and encourage healthy growth in the long term.

Patios are a great way to dedicate garden space to garden furniture like firepits and hot tubs, while protecting the ground from burning, dehydration and oversaturation.

However if you want something a little more long-term, we at Driveline Surfacing Ltd can help you with block paving solutions for your garden path and patio.

To improve the interior of your property and maximise space – there’s plenty of conversions you can make to the inside of your home. This helps especially when trying to make the most out of your home for the long term, and ensuring your home can grow with you and your family.

Loft and Attic Conversions

A loft or attic conversion is an instant way to increase the space in your home, and the new room(s) in your property can be used for a variety of things: a new bedroom; study space; or even an entertainment space.

These are usually classified as permitted developments, so you shouldn’t need planning permission but it’s best to check with your local planning authority before beginning any works.

Garage Conversions

If you need to add an annexe or additional living space, converting your garage is an easy win, especially if you have additional parking space outside or aren’t using the garage for storage.

A garage conversion is always subject to building regulations, to make sure it’s safe for habitation and structurally sound.
