Resh House

It is fair to say that in the last ten years there has been a massive boom in property developing. Investors have made a lot of money by buying run-down properties, renovating them and then selling them on for a tidy profit. However, due to the credit crunch there has been a massive slow down in the property market and many cautious developers have slowed down their investment.

But if you are looking for a bargain now might be the time. House prices are the lowest they have been for several years and research shows that run down properties have fallen by the greatest amount. Coupled with this many builders are struggling to find work meaning they have lowered their prices.

Now more than ever it is important that you maximise the potential of your investment and undertake the work which is going to have the greatest return on investment. Fitted kitchens, new bathrooms and double glazed windows and doors are proven to be highly desirable to potential buyers. Adding extra living space to a home is also a great way to add value. Conservatories also add extra living space and cost only a fraction of the price of a traditional brick built extension.

Home information packs and the increasing price of gas and electricity mean that buyers are more aware of energy efficiency than ever. Installing loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and double glazed uPVC windows and doors is recommended where possible as this will dramatically improve the energy efficiency of a property.

With careful planning and making sure that you understand the market and what potential buyers are looking for now is a great time to consider getting into back into the property development market.
