It is possible to add thousands of pounds onto the value of a property by modernising and decorating just one or two rooms. Just ask any buy to let landlord out there who specialises in buying Below Market Property and refurbishing it.

Popular refurbishment projects include adding a new bathroom or kitchen and even extending them in size. Both can be achieved by knocking down walls to adjoining rooms and installing new cabinetry or a suite. Many landlords have also adapted a dining kitchen into another bedroom by creating a galley kitchen.

Refurbishment could also involve altering the rear of the house completely by adopting the trend for open plan living. A single extension rear or side extension would achieve this. Making a basement ‘liveable’ counts as part of a refurbishment project, as does adding a loft extension to create an addition ensuite bedroom. When it comes to refurbishments it makes sense to hire experienced professionals to avoid any costly mistakes.
