The top 10 ways to add value to your property

Want to add value to your home? One of the best ways to boost its potential, if roof space allows, is to convert your loft.
Highly versatile, this space can be put to use as an extra bedroom or two, an extra bathroom or en suite, hobbies’ room, child’s room or office space.
As a general rule, double whatever you spend on the loft as added value. It’s your best asset, so it’s worth a bit of dust and upheaval.

The kitchen is the heart of the home; extending or updating your existing space really adds value

But remember, as with any renovation, every home has its ceiling price, so make sure that the cost does not outweigh the profit.

A loft extension is an excellent way to add another bedroom to your property and boost its value

Here are the top 10 ways to add value to your property

Loft conversions. These can add upwards of 20% to the overall value of your home. They come under permitted development so you won’t need planning permission, but have to pass Building Regulations.
Basement conversions. Another great use of space, and if you already have a cellar, it qualifies as change of use, so you shouldn’t need to apply for planning permission. Estimated to add 20-40% value.
A rear/ side extension. Generally to create a larger kitchen/ open-plan downstairs living space.
Convert the garage to useable space: a bedroom or office.
Updating the ‘powerhouse’ of the home: the kitchen. Even if you’re not carrying out major renovations, it pays to update a tired kitchen – repaint, refresh work spaces, replace cupboard doors etc.
Spruce up the bathroom, or better still install an en suite or an extra WC where you can.
Apply for planning permission. If you don’t plan to do the work yourself, having permission in place is attractive to future buyers.
Improve energy efficiency and insulation.
If space allows, add a conservatory.
Work on curb appeal – tidy up front gardens, re-paint the door and windows and make any repairs.

South London places we love: Camberwell

We love Camberwell

In the mid-nineteenth century, Camberwell and Denmark Hill were the go-to destinations for tired Londoners seeking the healing powers of the area’s famous mineral springs. Today, the area is a wonderful mix of busy shopping streets, unique modern and period properties, leafy parks and a growing selection of bars, cafes and restaurants. As we’re based on Denmark Hill we may be a tad biased, but we think Camberwell is one of the best parts of South London.

Theo’s Pizza and the Hill Street Bakery on Grove Lane, Camberwell

We really love Camberwell’s food

Where this neighbourhood really stands out is the fantastic food on offer. On Camberwell Church Street alone there’s the new bottle shop and meat bar Nape, bargain-tastic falafel and shawarma at Falafel & Shawarma, punchy Xinjiang specialities at Silk Road, London’s best kebabs at FM Mangal, inventive British cooking at the Camberwell Arms, and smoky charcoal grilled deliciousness at Queen’s. Great coffee is available at Daily Goods and the Lumberjack. And just around the corner on Grove Lane you’ll find some of London’s best pizzas at Theo’s, superlative sourdough at the Hill Bakery, and great roasts (and more!) at the Crooked Well. The Pigeon Hole Café on Datchelor Place, Nandine on Vestry Road, and No 67 at the South London Gallery are other lovely spots to while away an hour or so.

And we love to share the love

Feeling hungry yet? There’s loads more! Camberwell is one of South East London’s most exciting neighbourhoods, and it’s a brilliant place to live. We love to share our favourite local spots, and have put together detailed guides to help give you a feel for South London’s neighbourhoods.

South London places we love: Herne Hill

There’s so much happening in Herne Hill.

Nestled in amongst the tall redbrick Edwardian properties is a lively village centre with an abundance of friendly pubs and great eateries. Close to the station you’ll find an array of independent food shops that include grocers, butchers, bakers and artisan delis. Shopping in the area has the family in mind with everything you need close at hand: independent fashion boutiques, book stores, a toy shop and bike shop not to mention several chemists, GP practices and a family friendly dental practice.

Redbrick Edwardian properties

A particular favourite for us at Estate Agents Herne Hill is the Sunday market located in the semi-pedestrianised area next to the station. With copious stalls providing locally produced foods and arts and crafts it draws shoppers from all over South London. It is always difficult to resist the lure of what’s on offer, just as it’s always a fun day out.

Sunday market in Herne Hill

Herne Hill attracts a sporty and outdoorsy type due to the wonderful Brockwell Park with its many attractions. Home to the Brockwell Lido and Fusion gym, there is something here for everyone to get involved in, from the fitness fanatic to the fair-weather summer swimmer. The park also has a wonderful children’s play area, and summer paddling pool.

The appeal of the area is such that properties in Herne Hill don’t stay on the market for long.

Selling property with online estate agents? 10 reasons not to

Selling your property with online estate agents may save you fees, but will it actually jeopardise your sale – and the price?

10 reasons why you should ask Urban Village to sell your property instead of solely relying on online estate agents

We have a live, vetted database of real buyers we are out viewing with every day.
There is no time for time wasters. We vet for top quality, serious buyers who are ready to invest.
Our sophisticated closing skills will get you an offer during the viewing.
We negotiate the price for you – no need for awkward discussions.
Buyers like dealing with a good agent, rather than direct with the seller, as it’s less emotional.
We know local buyers and show other similar properties to yours.
Agreeing the sale is only the start of the process.
We provide regular updates, such as searches and surveys, keeping the sale right on track.
We handle price renegotiations and fight your corner from a neutral and respectful standpoint.
We don’t get paid a penny until successful completion.

Better yet, we can market your property alongside your online estate agents and we’ll *refund any marketing fees already paid to the online agents if you sell with us.

Suzanne Vincent, founder of Urban Village Homes

Don’t just take our word for it….look at our reviews

We have over 50 FIVE STAR reviews on our website from happy customers. By going the extra mile, we are highly likely to add value to your sale (effectively paying for our fee) and making the whole experience far better for you.

South London places we love: Loughborough Junction

A recent article in a London newspaper confirms everything that many locals already know – Loughborough Junction is now firmly on the property map. “The Junction is worth getting to know,” reported last week’s Evening Standard Homes & Property section.
Compared to its “funkier neighbour” of Brixton, “this low-profile location offers home-buyers significantly better value for money. Nevertheless you will still need a budget of about £500,000 for a two-bedroom flat.” There’s the London property market for you.
But it’s about time that Loughborough Junction gained some attention – and not just for being “east of Brixton”.

Why buy in Loughborough Junction?

There is excellent Victorian and Georgian housing stock; brilliant local schools; the wonderful Ruskin Park; quick transport links to the City (Farringdon in 15 mins); the growing number of independent coffee shops (Blue Turtle Oasis; The Beanery and Sunshine Arts cafe) and a great live music venue and bar (The Junction) and local cinema, as well as the much-loved The Cambria pub. Projects such as Loughborough Farm and Cafe and The Save Ruskin Park Paddling Pool group underline the fantastic feeling of community in the area. Which goes to show that all you really need is a park, some good coffee and some great neighbours to make somewhere feel like home – and Loughborough Junction has that in abundance.

Thinking of moving to Loughborough Junction? We can help

We offer free guides to many of South London neighbourhoods; drop us a line or give us a call today to find out more.
