Making the most of you home needn’t cost a fortune. In this detailed guidebook, chartered surveyor Ian Rock explores 14 home improvement projects guaranteed to transform any property – from prison to palace! As well as gaining a beautiful new home environment, these are the sort of renovation projects that property developers carry out to boost values and make serious money! But the fact is, you don’t need to be a professional developer to reap these rewards. Most of the refurbishment projects in this guide – big and small – can be done on a DIY basis with massive savings in labour costs. By tackling some of these projects yourself you should be able to achieve great results for about a 1/3rd of the price a building contractor would charge. In this guide we look at renovating the whole property – including fitting kitchens and bathrooms, changing internal layouts, modernising lighting, electrics and heating systems, and transforming your rooms with plastering and decoration. We also look at how to go about repairing and replacing defective roofs, and how best to make your home warm and comfortable whilst slashing energy bills by upgrading insulation, installing wood stoves and upgrading windows and doors. Finally there’s some useful advice on how to go about improving the outside of the property with patios, fences, decking and drives. By the time you’ve finished it’ll feel like living in a new home! In all cases we explain which projects need Planning or Building Regulations consent and flag up the situations where you need to employ specialists.
