By: Bespoke Lofts New research from the Halifax has revealed that 50% of UK homeowners spent an average of £6000 improving their homes last year, with those choosing to convert their lofts spending more at just over £7000 each. Many of these conversions include simple storage conversions, with actual spending on full conversions much higher. Increase in Popularity of Loft Conversions It is the first time figures have shown such an increase in loft spending. The sheer number of homeowners deciding to improve their homes rather than move shows the popularity of loft conversions, as they can be cheaper than moving home and can be financially rewarding in the long run. In the tough economic climate, many homeowners cannot justify or afford to move, so spending a fraction of the price of a new house on improving the current one make sound financial sense, a trend that has not bypassed one respected Essex based loft conversion company owner.
