Renovation Ideas That Can Add Value to Your Harrogate Home

01/06/2023

It’s no secret that home renovations can give your home a boost in value. But knowing which DIY projects will reap the most benefits is a tricky one!

If you’re flipping a property in Harrogate or selling your home in the next few years, being selective about what you renovate is always a wise choice. Some renovations are worth more in resale value than others. So, if you’re looking for ideas on the renovations which will add the most value to your Harrogate home, here are TLC Yorkshire Property Ltd’s top four choices based on UK demand.

1. A Conservatory

Conservatories have always been popular with UK property buyers. They add more living space and can boost the amount of natural light that spans across the downstairs of your home. By choosing to install a double-glazed or solar-controlled glass conservatory, you could easily add value to your home. Plus, the good thing about conservatories is that they extend the square meterage of your home, without you having to pay for a costly extension. It’s a cheaper solution that can easily pay for itself if the market is there for it.

2. A Loft Conversion With a Bedroom En-Suite

It’s no secret that the more bedrooms you have, the more value you can add to your home. If you add an extra bedroom with an en-suite bathroom to your loft, you can boost your Harrogate property value into the next pricing tier. Some loft conversions can even add as much as 15% to the valuation estimate[1]!

3. A Garden Office

Since the number of people working from home has increased, installing a home office in your garden could be one of the best renovation ideas for your property. Summer houses that are properly installed as productive home offices can cost anywhere between £5,000 and £20,000[2]. But the value this extra space could add to your property could be well worth the investment!

4. An Open Plan Kitchen-Living Space

Open plan kitchen and living rooms can be a more simple DIY project than they appear. If all you need to do is knock down the wall that separates your two main spaces, you can add value to your home without needing to extend it. Just make sure you always seek advice from a professional before taking down walls. The last thing you want to do when you’re thinking of selling is to make your house structurally unstable!
