Things to Consider

Even if you’re not looking to sell straight away, it makes sense to consider future occupants and avoid doing anything you’ll regret.
Get that calculator out. Are you simply looking to recoup what you spend? Or are you after big bucks? Remember that the value of property in your area tends to dictate the maximum value your home can achieve, and therefore affects your potential profit.
When it comes to any structural changes, expert advice from an architect or planner is vital. Check that your plans are safe and legal, and that you have the necessary planning permission (the need for this depends on the age, location and dimensions of your property). Make sure any professionals you bring in have a good reputation for completing work to a high standard. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly.
