Adding Value to Your Home: Expert Tips from Our Wiltshire Builders

If you’re a homeowner in areas such as Wiltshire, Somerset, Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Berkshire or Oxfordshire then you know the importance of maintaining and increasing the value of your property.

Whether you’re considering selling in the near future or simply looking to make the most of your family home, the right improvements can add both financial and personal value.

At Avanti Builders, we’ve been helping Wiltshire and surrounding county homeowners enhance their properties for years. From bespoke extensions to revitalising makeovers, our expertise ensures quality building solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations. In this article, we’ll go through practical, proven ways to add value to your home and how working with a reliable and experienced builders like Avanti (SW) Ltd can make all the difference.

1. Build an Extension

One of the most effective ways to increase your home's value is by adding more space. Whether it’s expanding your kitchen, creating an open-plan living area, or building additional bedrooms, extensions are a smart investment.

At Avanti, we tailor every extension to suit your property and personal requirements. From initial design to completion, we take care of the entire project, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your home and enhances its aesthetics and functionality.

Tip: Consider popular designs such as bi-folding doors to create a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, a feature many buyers find highly desirable.

2. Convert Your Loft or Garage

Unused spaces such as lofts and garages hold untapped potential. Converting these areas into functional living spaces—like a guest bedroom, home office, or gym—not only increases your home’s square footage but also appeals to modern buyers looking for multi-purpose areas.

Our builders are experienced in managing loft and garage conversions, ensuring every inch of space is optimised to meet your needs. We manage the entire process, including insulation, structural changes, and even helping with planning permissions, offering you complete peace of mind.

3. Change or Upgrade Your Kitchen

The kitchen is often called the heart of the home, and we’d agree! Investing in a kitchen upgrade can deliver a strong return, making it one of the most profitable home improvements. Modern appliances, stylish cabinetry, and practical layouts are top of most buyers’ wish lists.

If you’re dreaming of a kitchen that combines style and functionality, but don’t fancy a DIY kitchen, then our builders in Wiltshire can help. Our kitchen redesigns focus on both quality and ease of use, creating spaces that are as practical as they are beautiful.

Tip: Open-plan kitchens remain popular as they incorporate dining and living spaces, creating the feeling of a larger, shared area perfect for entertaining.

4. Enhance Outdoor Living Areas

Your garden, patio, or outdoor space is an extension of your home. Thoughtfully designed outdoor areas can boost curb appeal and add value by creating an inviting environment for relaxing or entertaining.

We can help develop outdoor spaces that compliment your home. From multi-level decking to custom-built patios, we focus on high-quality craftsmanship to ensure your outdoor areas make a lasting impression.

Visual Appeal Matters: Updating your driveway, adding attractive landscaping, or even simple upgrades like a new front door can significantly enhance your home’s aesthetic.

5. Update Bathrooms or Add an Extra One

Bathrooms are another impactful area to focus on when adding value. Modern, sleek, and functional bathrooms have universal appeal. Adding a new bathroom—particularly an en-suite—can further improve your home’s convenience and desirability.

Avanti offers complete bathroom renovations, from luxury fittings to efficient layouts. We work with you to create spaces that combine style with practicality, always with an eye on maximising value.

6. Energy Efficiency Upgrades

Energy efficiency is increasingly important to homeowners and buyers alike. Upgrades such as better insulation, double glazing, and energy-efficient heating systems can make your home more attractive and cost-effective to run.

Avanti is committed to delivering sustainable solutions and can help you implement energy-efficient upgrades as part of your home improvement project. Not only will this reduce your energy bills, but you'll also be contributing to a greener environment.
