Home Improvements

Homeowners are increasingly staying put and the “improve, don’t move” trend has grown steadily in recent years.

While the factors that influence a decision to spend on home improvement vary, there is no doubt more and more people are seeking ways to adapt their homes to meet changing needs – whether it is a growing family or launching a new home business.

This means they are investing in their properties through improvements and repairs to spruce them up and transform them into their ideal homes.

There is never a shortage of things to do: from creating new spaces and refurbishing kitchens and bathrooms to decoration and the installation of bright new lighting.

And at some stage almost every household will encounter a small emergency caused by problems with plumbing or electricity that could not have been foreseen.

Indeed, according to Aviva, householders in the UK typically spend £16 billion a year fixing things that have gone wrong around the home – that’s an average £589 per household per year.

Given this, it is important that homeowners think carefully about the cost and scale of improvement work they want to do and how changes will add value to their property.

It is also vital to think about who does that work: Aviva says the most common reason people cite for fixing things themselves is the desire to save money – yet many end up spending much more than they budgeted for and pay a professional to put things right.

Therefore, is beneficial to talk to experts who understand the scale and cost of home improvement and have the skills to tackle emergencies promptly and efficiently.
