A conservatory (cost £5,000-£30,000) can add around 7 per cent to the value, while a full-blown extension (£10,000-£30,000) adds 11 per cent.

3 Target market

Market your home to the most likely type of buyer – create an office, a play room, or a study.

4 Pave over the front garden

This will add value if parking space is precious

5 Paint the house

A lick of paint could cost up to £1,000 but may add much more to the price.
