Programmes such as Changing Rooms, Grand Designs and 60 Minute Makeover are causing rising numbers of budding Handy Andys and Nick Knowleses to renovate their homes.
Such is the claim of Alliance & Leicester Personal Loans, where in a recent piece of research it was shown that just under three-quarters (73 per cent) of budding DIYers claim to get inspiration to retile bathrooms, decorate rooms, convert loft space and undertake other projects after watching shows on the small screen.
According to the financial services provider, redecorating rooms is the most sought-after improvement to a property, with more than half (54 per cent) of those questioned looking to get this done. Some 43 per cent want a new bathroom, with 41 per cent looking to have either new flooring or carpeting fitted. Meanwhile, just under a fifth of respondents have their eyes set on replacing their guttering networks. Double-glazing, garden landscaping and having a new driveway were indicated as other home improvement projects Britons wish to have carried out.
Furthermore, it appears that consumers are willing to splash out significant sums of money on improving their home. Alliance & Leicester revealed that the typical Briton thinks it would cost them 11,833 pounds to carry out work on their house to make it match their property desires.
Those consumers looking for an effective means in which to finance renovation work on their home, may find that taking out a home improvement loan could be recommended.
However, it was revealed that having improvements carried out on rooms and gardens can have more than just an aesthetic impact on a house. Citing figures by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the firm pointed out that having a loft conversion can add some 10,000 pounds on to the value of a property. Fitting double-glazing and a new bathroom were shown to place 8,000 and 7,500 pounds respectively on top of how much a home is worth.
Commenting on the data, Richard Al-Dabbagh, head of personal loans for Alliance & Leicester, claimed that the proliferation of DIY-focused TV programmes can make carrying out home improvements look like it is “an easy thing to do”. He added that this has meant many consumers are now looking towards renovating their property.
Mr Al-Dabbagh said: “Home improvements should make properties desirable, not only for homeowners while they are living in the house, but also for when they choose to make the most of the investment of time and money and sell. While redecorating rooms is a quite an easy and inexpensive home improvement, it is in fact loft conversions and new kitchens that can add the most value to a property.”
He went to assert that homeowners wishing to fund such home improvement projects might want to consider getting a personal loan. The financial expert added, however, that those looking to do this should take the time to ensure they get the loan which is most suitable for their needs.
Meanwhile, propertyfinder spokesperson Nicholas Leeming claimed that as there are fewer amounts of people looking to purchase a home it is important for consumers wishing to sell their property to do as much as possible in ensuring that their house appeals to would-be buyers. It was suggested that having a tidy garden and redecorating rooms can help result in a quick sale, although such moves may not add too much money to the overall value of a house.
Whether wishing to boost the value of a home before putting it on the market or simply looking complete a makeover of the living room, getting a personal loan for the purposes of home improvement may be recommended. In taking out this kind of loan, borrowers may find that they are able to not only purchase the material required for such projects but also hire qualified professionals to carry out the work. A home improvement loan could also be advised for those consumers looking to renovate their garden this summer.
Last month, a study by Lloyds TSB showed that half of Britons are set to spend more than 200 pounds on enhancing green spaces, with three per cent prepared to splash out 750 pounds.
Most home owners will tell you that there the work on a house is never done, whether you’ve just moved in or whether you’ve been living there for forty years. Almost all home owners have a list of home improvements they’d love to accomplish but a lack of money to pay for these improvements often means that projects are put on hold for years.
That’s a problem, especially when it comes to home improvements that are necessary such as replacing a new roof, repairing or replacing plumbing or electrical work or simply putting in better windows and door.
Here are a few ways you can borrow or raise the money you need to pay for those home improvements.
Home Equity Line of Credit – Known as a HELOC this is a “secure” loan from a bank or credit union, which means you are using your home as collateral on the loan. If you bought your home for $100,000 five years ago but now you could sell it for $150,000 then you essentially have $50,000 in equity in your home. A bank might give you a Home Equity Line of Credit for that $50,000. You can then write checks for some or all of that money and pay the money back over time with interest.
Home Equity Loan – Similar to a Home Equity Line of Credit, a Home Equity Loan is usually for a fixed amount of money and is given all at once. The interest rates on Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit often differ so a banker or loan officer can tell you which one is best for you.
Hardware Store Credit Cards – I know, opening another credit card isn’t always the best thing to do, but many large hardware stores offer zero percent interest rates and even discounts on purchasing home improvement products when you use their hardware store credit card. If you’re going to use this method, you should probably have your project planned out in advance and have a pretty good idea of how you’re going to pay it off. The discount is often only good on the first purchase and the low interest rate doesn’t late forever.
Sell Old Home Improvement Materials – If you’re remodeling your bathroom you could almost definitely sell those old cabinets and maybe even that old tile to raise some money which could help pay for your new bathroom features. Remember that what is old to you may be new to someone else. I have some neighbors who actually did this together. One neighbor tore out all his kitchen cabinets and then sold them to another neighbor who installed them all in his garage. The seller got some money for what he would have thrown away and the buyer got some great cabinets for his garage at a fraction of the cost of what new cabinets would have cost.
Be smart when pricing out and paying for home improvements. With a little creativity and the proper knowledge you can finance those home improvement projects and fix up your home without breaking the bank!
