Selling your property for the highest possible price in most markets is always a test when there is an abundance of properties on the market. However, it is the properties that stand out as remarkable examples of their classification which tend to attract higher values. What is undoubtable is that a property's location and the way it is presented, both externally and internally, are crucial factors in influencing buyers. 

 

If you are not looking to sell in the short term, but want to maximise the full profit potential of your home, major alterations are the way to go - but only if they are in keeping with the style of the property. Adding an extension to the side of a family home doesn't just make the property more appealing to buyers looking for space, it can also take the property to a different price band. Given that you have got the budget to do it, and for those not planning to move for a year or two, or indeed anyone hoping to remortgage, increasing accommodation size can offer real profit potential even in an unstable market. Given a choice between a wonderful economical, well-appointed, 3 bedroomed property and another with the same attributes but a well-planned luxury kitchen or bathroom, most buyers will choose the latter property. Kitchen extensions should be well planned and executed to the highest possible standard to achieve the maximum value.
