Create Your Dream Home with Property Services Price Comparison Engine from Local Surveyors Direct

December’s big freeze pushed the housing market to an eight year low with the average estate agent selling just four properties during the month. If you’re thinking of selling your home in order to upgrade to a bigger or better property, it may be worth re-considering and working with what you already have, advises property services price comparison engine, Local Surveyors Direct.

JJ Heath-Caldwell, founder of Local Surveyors Direct said, “Rather than selling below the asking price or entering a stagnant market to play the waiting game, consider investing in your current property. Often with very little work you can create a totally new environment full of the features and finishes you’d look for in a new property but at a fraction of the cost of a move. Now is a really great time to renovate as any improvements made to your property will help set the house apart if you do eventually decide to enlist an estate agent to sell your property.” Small projects such as extensions and loft conversions can transform a home by providing space for an extra bedroom, bathroom, guest room or games room. These types of smaller projects are an excellent way to test the waters and are sure to add value and desirability to the property if upon completion, you decide you would rather sell than stay. An architectural designer is an essential investment for a small project and can make the difference between success and failure. Over and above providing drawing and design ideas for the project, they will help you to decide what your aims are, and work to local planning authority regulations. Other considerations such as suggesting sustainable methods to reduce the impact on the environment, keeping the building airtight to reduce draughts, using insulation to keep the building warm and dealing with party wall requirements if applicable will also be tackled by the architectural designer. Enlisting the help of an experienced local architect can be done quickly and easily with Local Surveyors Direct. Simply enter your postcode and contact details as well as any specific requirements you have, and the property services comparison engine will immediately present estimates from a number of architects in your local area. An extensive network of suppliers around the country means you can choose from a large number of professionals, whether your property is new or old and pick the price and location best suited to your own individual requirements.
