Five renovations that add the most value before you let or sell

Where to spend your budget for the biggest difference to rent, sale price and appeal.

Not every improvement pays for itself. These are the projects that most often make a measurable difference.

1. The kitchen

A modern, practical kitchen is high on every tenant's and buyer's list. Even new worktops, doors and lighting can transform an older kitchen.

2. The bathroom

Clean tiling, good ventilation and a decent shower matter more than designer fittings.

3. Flooring

Hard-wearing flooring in living areas reduces wear between tenancies and photographs well.

4. Extra space

Loft conversions and rear extensions add a bedroom or a larger kitchen-diner, often the biggest jump in value.

5. Energy efficiency

Insulation, efficient heating and better windows improve your EPC rating, lower bills and widen your market.
