thisplace.com.au - Ideas to Increase the Value of your Home

An older home may benefit from the installation of a skylight, particularly in the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, entertaining or family areas.
Structural additions can extend the value of your home, but do them modestly.
Add a timber deck to increase the size of your house - it's considerably cheaper than an extension. A professional design may even double your money!
You will always get your money back if you build a double garage.
Built-in wardrobes make a bedroom look bigger and add value to your home, if done right.
Don't put in a swimming pool - a $25,000 pool may only add $15,000 to the value of your home. However, a landscaped courtyard pool integrating indoors and outdoors could add value.
Good landscaping is always worth the effort!
