House prices in the UK are expected to tread water again in 2012, according to leading property experts released this week.
Looking ahead leading figures in the housing market predict another year of varying fortunes across the country, despite the fact house prices are standing 1.1% up on this time a year ago.
In previous years, this unstable market has encouraged many homeowners to delay moving – opting instead to extend rather than move out. Others have decided to make improvements to their home, like adding a balcony or new dormer windows, which will ultimately give them a better footing on the property ladder and allow them to achieve the optimum price for their home.
Our experts here at High-Tech Membrane Ltd, Basildon’s leading flat roofing company, have a number of options to add value to your home if you do decide to sell up or extend your current home.
We offer the very best in flat roof provision – single ply roofing. This method has stood the test of time over the last four decades and carries the highest of accreditations amongst experts worldwide. Single-ply comprises strong flexible sheets composed mainly of synthetic polymer. All joins carry a fusion weld-forming continuous waterproofing and are 100% resistant to weathering, chemical oxidation and UV radiation. It is also aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly and low-maintenance.
Single ply roofing can be fitted to any extension – including the growing popularity of garage conversions. In our experience, these are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to full-blown extensions because of the lower costs involved. If done properly they can add value to your home in the long run.
Another way to add value to your home is the possibility of adding a balcony or sun terrace. High-Tech Membrane has noticed a new wave of new admirers seeking planning permission to create a balcony over their garage or flat roof structure.
