Make sure that with every home improvement you also cost in upgrades to the insulation in both floors, walls and in the roof AND add in double or triple glazed windows.

According to the Energy Saving Trust a hot water cylinder jacket costs just £15 and could save you around £20 a year in fuel bills.

FUTURE PROOF THE COST AND BENEFITS

If your garden and home are expensive to maintain and run, consider whether the costs are likely to outweigh the benefits in the future.

IRON OUT THE BUMPS

A welcoming property will have a step free entrance at the front entrance and if not, at the back. Alternatively you can iron out bumpy entrances with slopes or ramps.

If your property is difficult to get into and there is no downstairs WC consider modifying the downstairs layout to add a bathroom or loo.
