In the 1980s, a fast-moving property market prompted<\/em>\u00a0homeowners to move every eight years. Nowadays, research<\/em>\u00a0suggests the average UK homeowner will stay in their property for 21 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

High house prices, the replacement of Stamp Duty with increasing rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax (now LBTT in Scotland, LTT in Wales) and the sheer cost, have discouraged many from moving. With more people putting down roots for longer, we\u2019re spending more money on improving our current properties. If you do decide to embark on a project, it makes sense to choose something that is going to add value to your home in case you do decide to move on one day. The projects listed below are likely to add the most value to your property<\/p>\n
