Even in the current climate, home improvement is still a great way to add value to your property.

In a study commissioned by HSBC, property experts offered their opinions on the financial benefits of adding a conservatory or new windows to a home. Interestingly, the experts rated building a conservatory as one of best ways of increasing the value of a property.

On average a conservatory will add more than £7,000 to the value of a property. New windows also rated highly offering an average of £4,000 to the value of a home.

Contrary to popular belief, nearly half of the experts claimed that redecorating or re-carpeting a home would add little or no value.

Obviously we’d warn against people undertaking home improvements purely for the potential increase in their home’s value; but nevertheless we think it’s an excellent side benefit!

Plus, there’s really no better time to think about a Conservatory or replacement Double Glazing, but hurry - our lowest ever prices offer can’t last forever!
