What Actually Adds Value to Your Home …and What’s a Waste?

About this episode

This episode explores what home renovations truly add value to a property and which are considered a waste of money.

Everyone says “just do the kitchen”… but is that really what adds value to your home? In this episode, we’re cutting through the home renovation myths to look at what actually makes a difference - and what could end up being a waste of money. Lexie and Sara walk you through understanding the difference between adding value to your life vs your sale price, look at where different budgets work hardest, and break down what buyers really care about. If someone gave you £25k to spend on your house tomorrow, where would you spend it? And what home upgrade do you think is overrated?
