Things That Will Add Value To Your Home

Money : Back To Basics

Good transport links will add value to your home. This is because people will be able to commute easily to work and may also be a better place to buy for someone who doesnt own a car, such as an elderly or disabled person. Therefore when selling it, this opens up your potential buyer range to a much larger percentage making it more easier to sell.

Over a third of Londoners (34%) rely on trains to get to work every day, compared to only 8% across the whole of the UK.

Good schools in the local area are also very important. It is a motivating factor for families when looking to buy a home, so that their children or future kids, will have a good school to go to.

A good school can add an average of almost £6000 to the current value of your home.

If you have good neighbours then this will also increase the value. Noisy neighbours and derelict properties nearby are all major put offs for buyers.

A good street name is also a big factor, as research has shown that those located on a road names 'Hill' are worth a lot more than the average UK property price. Lanes also come with a big premium. Cheaper areas include Street, Terrace, Crescent, Court and View.
