Design your home improvements online for free
If you’ve decided to improve not move, there’s nothing more exciting than planning the changes you want to make. Upgrading your doors and windows is a great way to improve the aesthetic of your home, cut your heating bills and add value, all while improving your quality of life.
If that sounds like improvements you need to make, here’s how to effectively plan your home improvements:
Decide on your project
When you’re looking to improve your home there are plenty of options to consider. Focus on the following to get the best return on your investment:
- – Improving energy efficiency
- – Updating your home to meet building regulations
- – Improving kerb appeal
- – Modernising tired decor
- – Improving safety and security
Replacement doors and windows tick all the boxes when it comes to home improvements that really maximise their value.
Set your budget
Every home improvement starts with an idea. But you’ll need to decide how much you’re willing to spend and how to get the best value out of your investment. If you’re looking to buy we have a range of finance options to help you spread the cost.
Check planning permission
If you’re changing like-for-like with new doors and windows then your home improvements are likely to fall under permitted development rights. However, if you live in a listed building or designated area there can be restrictions in place so it’s best to check with the local planning authority.
