Exterior Home Makeovers
New windows, a fresh coat of paint on cladding or a new front door will all add to the kerb appeal of a house — and boost its value.
First impressions count, and this is a crucial element if you are trying to sell your home. Most buyers will decide if they do or do not like a property before they even get out of the car and it can be hard to shake off negative first impressions created by a poor or unattractive exterior.
Giving your home an exterior makeover can involve any of the following:
- repointing brickwork
- repainting doors and windows
- replacing an old garage door
- changing/repairing windows
- repainting walls
- repairing cracked or broken cladding such as render or timber
- removing stone cladding
- adding a porch
- adding climbing plants/trellis
- replacing/adding a house sign or number
- or even renaming the property
Will I Need Planning Permission?
For a radical exterior makeover, it is likely that you will need planning permission.
A large scale makeover can totally transform the appearance of a property. This may involve changing roofs, wall cladding, windows, chimneys, and porches. Conversion of existing space such as garage or roof, or extending may also appeal.
Although there is a great deal you can do under Permitted Development Rights so do research those too.
