Five years inside the UK building trade Skip straight to the bundle →

Which home improvements actually add value — and which quietly lose you money

A straight answer from someone who's spent five years inside the UK building trade. Not an estate agent. Not an architect. Not a conservatory company that somehow always ranks conservatories near the top.

One report, two printable checklists. Written for people about to spend real money on a real house — not for people collecting tips.

01

What's in the bundle

Three separate documents. One does the thinking, two do the checking.

01
The Core Report

Which improvements actually add value

What genuinely pays off, what quietly doesn't, how it shifts by house type and by where you live — plus a real process for working out whether your project is worth doing.

The Quick Decision Checklist

The whole framework condensed onto one page. Built for actually using when you're stood in the room deciding — not for re-reading the full report every time.

Cost Overrun Red Flags

The four things that turn a fixed-price quote into a runaway bill. Hold a builder's quote against this before you sign anything.

What you'll actually know

Specific, checkable things — not "add kerb appeal" and "consider your budget".

01

Which improvements are worth it for your specific type of house. A detached, a terrace, a flat and a Victorian semi don't play by the same rules — most guides pretend they do.

02

The one number that decides whether any project is worth doing — and exactly where to find it yourself, free, in about ten minutes.

03

The seven upgrades that quietly cost people money at resale. Including two that almost everyone assumes are safe bets.

04

The four things that turn a fixed-price quote into a runaway bill — and how to spot them before you sign, not after.

05

A worked example with real numbers, showing the maths on a project that's worth doing and one that isn't. Not just the theory.

06

Why renting it out and selling it need completely different spending decisions — and what changes if you're a landlord.

03

Why listen to me

Every other guide ranking which improvements add value comes from someone with a reason to say what they're saying. An estate agent wants your listing. An architect wants the design contract. A conservatory company will somehow always rank conservatories near the top.

I've spent the last five years inside the building trade itself — in a builders merchant, working operations, transport, the trade counter, and running the yard. I've dealt with builders, tradespeople and customers across every part of that business, and heard first-hand what goes right and what goes wrong on real jobs. Not from behind a desk.

I don't have a listing to win or a contract to land. Just what I've actually seen — including the jobs where someone spent good money on entirely the wrong thing.
