    Property expert on the key home upgrade that can boost your home’s value

    August 8, 20253 Mins Read


    But they warned homeowners to be cautious as some popular upgrades could end up costing you more

    A property guru has described which home renovations could really ramp up your property’s market value this year, while cautioning against splashing out on less effective makeovers. As the property market remains a rollercoaster, Brits are rolling up their sleeves for DIY and home improvements, hoping to elevate their property’s worth before putting it on the market.

    However, not every refurbishment is worth its salt – some trendy enhancements might end up costing more than the value they contribute. A fresh report from Squared Money has pinpointed the most cost-effective projects for 2025, with garden makeovers, conservatory additions, and external revamps stealing the spotlight.

    Chiming in with his expertise, Terry Fisher from We Buy Any Home, the UK’s top instant property buying company, advises homeowners on the smartest fixes to consider and those that might need a second thought. “It’s not about spending more, it’s about spending smart,” Fisher emphasises.

    In 2025, buyers are looking for visual appeal and practical updates. Fisher suggests that rather than a complete kitchen overhaul, a well-kept garden, new flooring, or a lick of paint can make a significant difference.

    Top upgrades that pay off

    According to the data:

    • Conservatories can deliver a 100 per cent ROI in some cases – especially when they offer usable living space
    • Garden landscaping offers up to 80 per cent return, with decking, patio areas and tidy lawns adding major visual appeal
    • Exterior refurbishment such as new doors, paint or cladding, offers around 70 per cent return
    • Flooring upgrades can recoup around 50 per cent of costs, especially if you replace tired carpets with modern laminate or wood

    “These are the upgrades that help buyers see themselves living in a space,” Mr Fisher added. “It’s about creating a home that feels move-in ready without over-personalising.”

    What to skip – or leave to the pros

    The expert said buyers in 2025 are all about kerb appeal and functional upgrades.

    While some improvements are worth every penny, others could be more hassle than help. Mr Fisher says full kitchen or bathroom renovations often don’t recoup the cost unless you’re living in the home long-term – and DIY disasters can even put buyers off.

    “Botched tiling or uneven floors won’t win you any points,” he said. “If you’re doing work to sell, focus on clean, neutral updates – and bring in professionals for the more technical jobs.”

    He also warns against luxury upgrades like underfloor heating, home cinemas or smart tech unless you are targeting high-end buyers. He said: “The goal is to appeal to as many people as possible. Neutral, functional and fresh is the winning combo in 2025.”
