Is It Still Location, Location, Location?

 
Faced with the prospect of a lockdown-free summer, buyers are anxious to move quickly, resulting in record numbers paying over asking price to secure their dream property.
 
With leading experts predicting that the house buying frenzy is here to stay, is location still as key as it used to be for buyers?
 
In the space of just 18 months, we've seen homebuyers rush to the countryside and back to cities again, as they've swapped lifestyles and jobs to better suit their own needs post-lockdown.
 
However, while requirements have altered dramatically for some, the popularity of online searches for the perfect location shows that this remains high on the list of buyer priorities.
 
So, what stands out as the perfect place for today's buyers?
 
- Access to areas of green, open space or gardens has become an immediate priority for many homebuyers.
 
- Now lockdown is coming to an end, people want to be close to cafes, restaurants, leisure amenities and shops once more to make the most of their freedom.
 
- Being close to the office is also becoming important again, as people adopt a hybrid style of working. This has also brought demand for a suitable working space at home, as well as a fast and reliable broadband connection.
 
- Being in a good school catchment will always be a priority for families.
 
- Buyers are doing their research into future developments in the area, like new schools, hospitals, shopping facilities or public transport links, as they can dramatically affect future house prices.
 
Location is a key factor in driving up demand.

Home Improvements For This Summer

 
 
Over the last 18 months, the number of Brits undertaking DIY projects and renovations has jumped significantly, as we found new ways to pass our time in lockdown and improve our living situations.
 
But, which home improvements have the biggest impact to your property's value?
 
Extensions
 
Adding an extension is one of the most popular home improvement projects, adding up to 23% to your home's sale price.*
 
In fact, in northern regions over 2020, there was a double digit increase in planning permission applications for extensions.
 
Garages
 
Adding a garage is a great way to expand your home.
 
Having a property with secure parking can lower the price of your car insurance policies, as opposed to on-street spaces, whilst making your home more attractive to buyers.
 
Loft conversions
 
Loft conversions are a brilliant way of creating extra space out of an area that is rarely used, whilst contributing an additional 20% in value to your property's price.*
 
Due to COVID-19, people are looking for space for home offices.
 
A loft conversion is the perfect solution!
 
Conservatories
 
One of the great advantages of building a conservatory is that planning permission is more straightforward.
 
It also adds around 5% to the value of your house.*
 
Outbuildings and sheds
 
Green space has become massively important to us.
 
Having an outdoor space that can be used for storing gardening equipment or even as somewhere to relax is highly desirable.
