If you live in Kensington and Chelsea, you may be looking to add value

If you own a house in Kensington and Chelsea, there are five routes to adding value. A loft conversion, a kitchen extension, a new build basement, remodelling for extra space, or updating the materials and finishes. A design and build company such as NU Projects can run any of them under one contract.

  1. A loft conversion turns unused roof space into a usable room, such as a bedroom, a home office or a study. It is one of the cheaper routes, because it uses space the house already has.
  2. A kitchen extension is another popular option for homeowners looking to add value to their property. This involves extending the size of your existing kitchen to create more space and improve its functionality. This can be a great way to add value to your home, as a well-designed and well-equipped kitchen is a key selling point for many buyers.
  3. A new build basement is another option for homeowners looking to add value to their property. This involves constructing a new basement under the footprint of your home, which can be used for various purposes, such as a home cinema, a gym, or additional living space. This can be a costly option, but it can also be a great way to add significant value to your home.
  4. Remodelling to create extra space is another option for homeowners looking to add value to their property. This involves making changes to the layout of your home, such as converting a garage into a living space or adding an extension to create additional usable space. This can be a cost-effective way to add value to your home, using existing space rather than requiring new construction.
  5. Updating with high-end design materials and fabrics is another option for homeowners looking to add value to their property. This involves making improvements to the appearance and functionality of your home, such as replacing outdated fixtures and fittings, repainting, or installing new flooring. This can be a relatively inexpensive way to add value to your home, as it can significantly improve its appearance and appeal to potential buyers.

A design and build company such as NU Projects carries the planning, the cost plan and the build under one contract. That covers the planning applications, the building control route and the party wall procedure, which on a Kensington and Chelsea property are rarely straightforward.
