Homeowners in the UK could add value to their properties by undertaking a basement conversion, it has been suggested.Property owners that are considering home improvement work should think about converting their basements, it has been claimed. According to Ratedpeople.com, basement conversions allow people to boost their living space without having to either move or literally expand their properties. It stated that an extra room can also add "a great deal of value", while conversions could be used as a bedroom, a lounge or as a playroom. Ottokar Rosenberger, sales and marketing director of Ratedpeople.com, said: "A basement conversion can provide the extra dimension that a property needs to greatly improve its market value." Recent research by Energy Saving Trust suggested that homeowners could also boost the saleability of their property by adding eco-friendly measures to it. Over a third of Brits would be happy to pay more for a house featuring solar panels or a wind turbine, the study claimed.Written by James Hall
