How to find the right house renovation to buy?

Finding the right house renovation to buy

When embarking on your search for renovation properties, it's important to exercise caution and avoid getting carried away by the potential of a project. Before allowing yourself to envision the possibilities, it's crucial to take a step back and consider the bigger picture.

Please consider:

• Location: Location is a key factor to consider when choosing a property for renovation. It's important to take into account factors such as transport links, local schools, and nearby amenities. Remember the old adage: it's better to buy the worst house on the best street than the best house on the worst street.

• Neighbourhood: It's a good idea to research other properties in the area before committing to a renovation project. Look into whether any nearby properties have undergone extensions, loft conversions, or other major works. This can help you gain insight into how receptive the local planning officers may be to your proposed renovations.

• Parking: Has it got off-road parking? Is there potential to add parking as part of the renovation?

• Restrictions: It's important to carefully review the property details before embarking on a renovation project. Restrictions may be in place if the property is leasehold, located in a conservation area, or subject to a restrictive covenant. These restrictions may limit the alterations you are able to make, so it's important to understand them before proceeding with any renovations.
