As a landlord, it is at times difficult to think in a forward-thinking way and have the time and economical freedom to make impactful additions to the house. This is especially true if you are renting your property and it can become difficult for tenants to have masons around the house during the day. Yet there are many options for those who are willing to make an investment and add significant values to their property. What's more, you won't need permissions for these additions, so let's take a look at 3 very impactful ways to add value to your property.

New double-glazed windows

Windows are the most important element when it comes to retaining the heat over the colder months. Old-fashioned, single glazed windows are a terrible presence both in terms of energy efficiency and house value. Future occupants or buyers will see single glazed windows in a bad light, especially if you are living in the colder parts of the country such as Tyneside, Fife or rural Wales. So why not think about adding double-glazed windows? Your house value could spike especially if you choose hi-quality wooden frames. On the other hand, you will want to avoid UPVC windows if your house was built before 1930.

Think of a loft conversion

It is estimated that a loft conversion can make your property price more than double with an investment of £10k, so why not think of it if your ceilings are tall and the living room far too spacious for the amount of people who will live in it? What's also great about loft conversions is the fact that you will not need a planning permission, so some good planning and design choices will help you attract the future owners or tenants who care about the aesthetic side of your property and won't mind paying a bit more for the privilege of living in it.

Re-paint your property
Think of it as some minor and quick investment which can give you a return much larger than expected. Costing up to £1,000, having the painting done will return that investment several times when selling your property. All in all, it's also easy to see how a couple layers of new paint outside your house can radically change the first impression a potential new owner. So you are not only making an investment, but you are also looking at securing potential buyers more easily when the moment of selling comes. Just make sure that you follow all the right steps and the final impact is positive. A bad choice of paint can devalue your property instead of actually making it more attractive.
