Revamping the garden, giving the living room a fresh lick of paint or sprucing up the kitchen or bathroom: many of us may well be thinking of honing our home improvement skills this year – especially given the current lockdown.
For those wanting a longer term project then buying a property that requires a degree of modernisation has its benefits. Often you can snap up a relative bargain, while you can also create a home to suit your own style and requirements.
Of course, if it’s an extensive renovation then you should always seek the advice of a registered tradesperson; if you want to carry out work to a listed, older property you will need to speak to your local planning authority to ensure you have the correct permissions.
Whatever you’re after – be it a period cottage in need of a complete overhaul, a London apartment ripe for refurbishment or a family home simply wanting a bit of TLC – the selection of properties featured below may well provide a little inspiration.
