61% of UK Homeowners Plan Home Improvements in Next Two Years

July 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Research has shown that instead of moving home, almost two thirds of UK homeowners are seriously considering improving their existing properties, with a large number planning on hiring a company to undertake major work such as a loft conversion or conservatory.

This news did not come as a surprise to Herts & Essex Lofts (http://www.hertsandessexlofts.co.uk/) owner Marc Loppas, who has seen a steady rise in loft conversion go aheads over the past year. According to Royal Mail Home Insurance, 32% of homeowners are planning on investing in a conservatory, while 16% are to opt for a loft conversion.

Marc Loppas, whose Hertfordshire based company provides loft conversions and conservatories for homeowners throughout the county and neighbouring Essex, says: “I was not too surprised by this piece of research, as loft conversions and extensions are a lot cheaper and less risky than moving home at this moment in time. Many of my customers are keen to increase the value of their home now, and see the benefits once the country is out of the recession and the market begins to pick up, whenever that may be.”
Loppas added: “Loft conversions, when done properly, can add tens of thousands to a home’s value. If you have plans to move home in the future, now is as good a time as ever to take advantage of loft conversion special offers that may be out there.”

Marc Loppas runs Herts & Essex Lofts, a loft conversion company also specialising in home improvements, extensions and garage conversions in and around Essex and Hertfordshire.
