Home improvements 'can add value to a home'

Home improvements 'can add value to a home' Personal enjoyment is another big factor in home improvement.Homeowners looking to carry out home improvements, such as installing cheap double glazing, will find that the projects will add value to their property.

Leslie Bird, writing for Helium.com, said that if people want to add to the resale value of their property then "easy and inexpensive" improvements can be carried out.

"If you are planning on staying in your home you may wish to choose improvements that are more costly but will pay off over time. Having a new high efficiency furnace installed is an easy improvement but expensive," he added, stating that people will see savings in their bills with their improvements paying for themselves over time.

Mr Bird went on to say that complete kitchen or bathroom remodeling is another measure which could be considered, while alterations such as upgrading the lighting can also make a difference.

Professor Nigel Brandon, director of Imperial College London's Energy Futures Lab, recently said that home improvements are the key to being green.
