Garage Addition Can Boost Home Value by £20,000

Property experts emphasize that homeowners looking to sell should avoid common mistakes such as excessive personalization, clutter, and unrealistic price expectations, as these can deter buyers and slow sales. Neutral decor and decluttering are recommended to help potential buyers envision themselves in the space, and sellers should be open to feedback and willing to adjust their asking price if necessary. Additionally, new research highlights the value of garages, with over half of surveyed buyers considering a garage a 'must-have' and experts estimating that a single or double garage can add significant value to a property, especially in urban areas. Sprucing up a garage’s appearance, installing modern doors, and enhancing security features can further boost a home's curb appeal and sale price.
