April is nationally recognised as ‘Home Improvement Month and many people try to undertake home improvement projects, particular smaller ones, themselves to keep costs down.
However according to a recent survey, two thirds of UK homeowners have unfinished improvements or regret the results of a DIY project and wished they had hired an expert instead.
So whether you have a project to finish or are thinking about beginning a home improvement project, sometimes it really is best to leave it to the professionals.
If you are considering large scale home improvements because you require more space but do not want to move house, there are alternatives to an extension, think about redesigning the layout of the house or converting the loft or basement.
A loft or basement conversion will not only improve your home but add extra value to your property. The extra space will improve the quality of living by providing an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, or downstairs to provide a playroom or family den for everyone to enjoy.
This sort of improvement maybe more demanding and costly than some general home improvements but is very worthwhile and will be cheaper than an extension.
However, it is probably a good idea to seek professional advice for planning and carrying out the work.
At Live in Developments we specialise in this type of work and offer a complete service from planning to managing and carrying out your project, working with you to the finest detail.
Don’t let the month of April pass you by. Use it as an excuse to get those unfinished jobs done and if you are thinking of home improvements on a grander scale, whether it be an extension, a conversion or a refurbishment contact: Live in Developments
