Find out from local real estate agents what are the new demands from people looking for homes, for example a pantry is still HOT on the list of requirements, combined with a with spacious eat in kitchen and a kitchen island, also with the growing trend to work from home a designated computer area or home office is now a definite beneficial selling point for many prospective buyers.
Getting Your Plan Approved
- Have a look around your neighborhood to see what's already been done to houses similar to yours. As long as your neighbors DID get planning permission - this may give you more ideas for your own project and tell you what work is most likely to be more easily approved.
Approval, don't ignore the paperwork. When you spend time and money on your home you want that investment to be reflected in an increased property value, this can only be achieved with planning permission and the resulting corresponding certificates which will be required if you later sell your home.
Getting Your Finances in Place
- Home Improvement and Financing outlines different financing options for your home improvement project. The financing that best suits you will of course depend on your circumstances.
