5 ways to improve your home

Renovating your home is a great way to keep things feeling fresh and stylish while also adding some extra value to your property. Here are five tips on how to improve your home, increase its market value, and entice potential buyers.   

Modernise the kitchen and bathroom 

Modernising your kitchen and bathroom can make you fall in love with your home all over again. One way to do this is by upgrading your kitchen appliances to the latest stylish and energy-efficient models. Not only will this add a contemporary touch to your kitchen, but it will also save you money on your monthly bills. As for the bathroom, you can update the tilework and lighting to create a more luxurious ambience. Trendy accessories such as patterned towels, trendy soap dispensers, and a stylish rug can really elevate your bathroom into the modern day. 

Create a home office 

If you’re looking to transform your living space into a productive haven, you could benefit from creating your very own office in your home. Once you have decided on a quiet part of your home where there will be minimal distractions, you can start to plan what you need in your home office. A comfortable desk and chair combination that promotes good posture is key if you’re planning to spend long hours getting work done in your office. To add your own style and flair to the space, consider adding accessories such as a bookshelf, plants, and some pictures of loved ones.  

Convert your loft 

Converting your loft not only adds some much-needed space to your home but also unlocks a world of possibilities. You could create a cosy guest bedroom for your friends and family to use when they stay over, meaning you will no longer have to worry about scrambling for sleeping arrangements when they visit. If you already have room for guests, you could turn your unused attic into a stylish sitting room where you can relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You could even add a skylight window to watch the stars at night. 

Fit new flooring

Upgrading your flooring can have a significant positive impact on your home, both aesthetically and financially. Hardwood and laminate flooring both add a touch of elegance and sophistication to a property and are also incredibly durable, making them perfect for the busier areas of your home. These types of flooring are also much easier to clean and maintain, saving you valuable time and effort. Fitting new flooring also increases the value of your property, strengthening your negotiation power if you decide to sell sometime further down the line. With plenty of styles and finishes available, you are sure to find something that matches your interior design scheme.

Build an extension 

Another way to improve your home by creating more living space is by building an extension. You could build an airy new conservatory where you can sit back and enjoy the sun from within the comfort of your own home. Alternatively, you could build a dining room where you and your loved ones can enjoy meals together and host parties. If you really want to think outside the box, why not build a home cinema or pool room to bring some entertainment to your home? Whatever you decide, an extension is sure to add some extra value to your home.

We identified Signature as our agent due to a sale in the neighbourhood. Signature have been very professional in our sale of the property in West Knighton area. Several potential buyers were identified pretty soon, and the sale completed on time. Every time there was an issue in the process, Jag was at hand to support us. Very reasonable fees, and we'll worth it. We very much recommend them, and wish them all the best.

We bought our first home with Signature and we are pleased to say it's been a very good experience with this agent. We have viewed properties and put offers in with other agents as well, but Jagjit from Signature was the best to deal with, we felt as buyers we were treated with respect and felt Jag was very honest, straight forward, and reponsive to our enquiries. Our purchase went smoothly with no hiccups and was complete in slightly over 2 months. Will always recommend if you're buying or selling.
