We are Carr Family builders have recently discovered that over 2 million home owners decided to make home improvements on their home rather than move.
Here are some reason why you should improve your house instead of moving:
House prices rising and expensive fees can be more costly
With house prices on the rise, many people nowadays cannot afford to move.
18% of people have moved into smaller properties because of this whereas 33% of people made house improvements so that they can add value to their house.
The cost of moving house has soared by 70% in the last 10 years. Many people in negative equity can improve the value of their home through We are Carr family builders.
There are so many expensive fees when it comes to selling your house so why not improve and make money instead of paying these fees and government taxes.
The fees you need to consider are
Stamp duty tax. This can be quite expensive but it can depend as different rates are charged.
Valuation or survey – These are necessary as it will flag up any problems your new house might have.
Different survey includes – basic survey, homebuyers report or building survey.

Simpler and easier – less stress and hassle
The thought of packing all our things into boxes feels most of us with dread. It is not only time consuming but can be very stressful. Where did you put in what box etc.? Then you have to move it all onto the van and unpack at the next house.
Not only that but If you have children then you have to think about the possibility of them going to a different school.
So why not save yourself all the stress and do your house up
By improving you may be able to add luxuries you did not have before ie create a downstairs toilet or en-suite.
Add more value to your house
