Really great move
New letting rules
Fusion in action
The first families have moved into an unique mixed housing scheme in the East Devon seaside town of Budleigh Salterton. Lord Clinton, whose company Clinton Devon Estates was behind the scheme, met the first families at a tree planting ceremony to mark end of Phase One at the Horizon development on the town’s Greenway Lane, above. The scheme includes Cavanna Homes and Cornerstone housing association. Student Genna Evans and her husband Martin have just received the keys for their three-bedroom rented home, specially adapted for wheelchair access for their son Jesse. Genna said: “It’s incredible the difference it’s made.”
A Westcountry letting agent has welcomed new rules which came into force on October 1. Now letting agents have to be a member of one of three approved property ombudsman redress schemes. Andrew Luxton of Stags said: “We as a firm will support any measures to ensure that bad landlord and agents are removed from the private rented sector. However, landlords and tenants also need to choose agents that offer financial protection through client money protection schemes. One of the first questions that landlords or tenants should ask when using an agent is whether they belong to a professional body, or are signed up an Property Ombudsman scheme.”
Westcountry housebuilder Cavanna Homes secured three sales within 24 hours of inviting the first visitors into its four-bedroom show home at its Fusion development on the edge of Paignton. Sales manager Lynn Worley said: “The level of interest has been incredible. From the moment we opened the doors to our show home the whole team were busy dealing with enquiries from visitors and then with follow-up phone calls.” The first homeowners will soon be moving into Fusion and Cavanna has already taken a total of 15 reservations. The development is just off Brixham Road and forms a new extension to an existing community.

It’s official: featuring your property as a Western Morning News Property of the Week gets results. We’ve known this for a long time, but felt we just had to blow our own trumpet – just a little – when two endorsements came in this week, one from a buyer and one from an agent. Both offers were made within days of the properties appearing in our Homes section. Whinfield, above, in South Brent was our Property of the Week on April 26. Homes writer Gillian Molesworth learned about John and Anne Collier, and how their substantial Victorian house had been in their family since 1898. You could say that this genteel
residence, an easy commute to Plymouth and with panoramic views of Dartmoor, could sell itself – nonetheless, the deal was sealed within days of the feature’s publication. Agents Luscombe Maye have reported a completed sale, at the full guide price of £950,000. Bredon, our cover property, is a beautiful character property in Otterton near Budleigh Salterton. It was last for sale in 2001, when it appeared as the WMN Property of the Week (a while ago, but then, you don’t change a winning formula). John and Evelyn Dobson had just started their house hunt for a Westcountry gathering place for
their children and grandchildren. “It was our good fortune that Bredon appeared as Property of the Week in the WMN shortly after our search began. It met every single one of our requirements, with the additional advantage of providing some of the finest rural views in Devon,” said John. “We hastily made a near offer.” When John and Evelyn decided to sell, they knew where to come first – you can read all about Bredon as our Property of the Week, for sale with Wilkinson Grant for £965,000, on pages 10 and 11.

4 buyers’ guide
The top end of the market is healthy thanks to upcountry buyers in search of lifestyle properties such as this beautiful Old Vicarage in Princetown on Dartmoor (Bradleys, £725,000)
Increase in sales across market Iain Christie, of Bradleys in Plymouth, offers advice to buyers This has been an interesting year so far, with the market showing strong signs of recovery compared with the last few years. There has been a slight increase in values and a higher level of transactions across the board. The volume of first-time buyers coming into the market place at the lower end has increased and they have been competing with the buy-tolet market, as more investors look to increase or start a portfolio to either top up or provide a pension. The student-let market has gone from strength to strength as potential yields are higher than a standard buy to let, with many hovering around the 10%to 12% mark. We have also seen an increase at the top end of the market, with viewings on our luxury homes increasing as
many buyers move to Devon and Cornwall for a change of lifestyle. As we enter the year, there was still a degree of uncertainty but it soon became apparent that the property market was moving forward. With an influx of new properties at the start of the year, the activity levels grew through the first few months and the market was buzzing by Easter. Now that we have reached October, the main focus is on being in your new home before Christmas. This will bring a renewed interest in the property market and activity is likely to increase to the levels we saw in the early part of the year. Vendors who came on to the market in late spring/early summer, who had been encouraged to overprice their properties, are now seeing the reality of the situation and are reducing to fall in line with the current market.
This student let in Cecil Street, Plymouth (Bradleys, £335,000) is arranged as ten double letting rooms, and yields a gross income of £40,480 over 11 months The market was stronger in the early part of the year and if your property is currently overpriced then be prepared for a lack of activity and in some cases no viewings at all! Buyers are aware of pricing as they do a lot of research via the internet and they are fully armed with their own comparables. If you are considering selling my advice is not to be led into false marketing, take a realistic approach to the value of your property and use the comparables that are available to
Trade is brisk at the lower end of the market, where firsttime buyers compete with buy-to-let investors for properties such as this three-bed semi-detached in Queens Road, Plymouth (Bradleys, £110,000)
you on various websites. Whilst this will give you a rough idea of the value, you should still take the advice of a good local agent as their experience is invaluable and they can advise you on current trends. It is essential in this market that you choose your agent carefully and look at the overall marketing package and not just the fee! Buyers are not that easy to find so you need to be sure your agent is taking a proactive approach and that they are working for you to achieve
the best price and not just a sale. Whilst an increasing number of our enquiries come from the internet we still deal with a high level of foot traffic via our high street branches and this should be paramount in your choice as you cannot rely on one source alone. Another suggestion is to use the estate agents’ Trip Advisor, Allagents, as this will give you an independent view on your agent before you make your choice. In autumn the levels of interest are likely to heat up, and with the fear of interest rate increases in the early part of next year there has never been a better time to buy. With this in mind, seek the advice of an independent mortgage advisor to make sure that you are getting access to all of the best deals and not just from a select panel. The bottom line is that if you are thinking of buying or selling then don’t wait for 2015 as it will only cost you more money as house prices will no doubt increase slightly and the cost of borrowing will increase. This also applies if you are thinking of buying an investment property as the potential yield will only decrease as we progress into 2015. Call 01752 260400 or visit www.bradleys-estateagents.co.uk.

Buyers warm up as temperatures drop With the memories of long, warm summer nights seemingly fading into the distance and evenings starting to draw in, we would normally expect the temperature of the region’s property market to show similar signs of cooling. Not so it would seem. Although numbers of new applicants registering their search criteria have slightly slowed, those buyers previously registered as looking for property are showing no intention of taking the heat out of what has been a truly bubbling market throughout 2014. Over the summer months across North Cornwall we have seen prices slowly rise and average sales value increase as activity in deals of higher value properties improves. A particular sale which comes to mind is Oeston Park in Bude, listed at £700,000. This imposing 1930s former gentleman's residence has a separate 200-year-old cottage, and is set within superb landscaped gardens with views over the canal and nature reserve areas of Bude. It sold on the first day of marketing, achieving its full asking price. Properties with individual features or distinct character across all price ranges continue to attract the lion’s share of interest from buyers moving into the region. We recently completed on the sale of Moreton Mill near Holsworthy, an extremely attractive former watermill with generous gardens located on the border of Devon and Cornwall, which resulted in a bidding war. Now, as we approach the autumn months, the emphasis will be on buyers looking to move home before the Christmas holidays. I have visited plenty of vendors over the past couple of weeks who

Most are choosing to place their properties for sale now with a view of securing a move in time to see the New Year of 2015 in from their next home. Those buyers who have failed to find a dream home over the summer
months will choose to keep one eye on the market over the autumn and winter months from a distance, and are likely to enjoy some fresh new stock to consider ahead of the New Year. Kivells, Bude office, 01288 359999 or visit www.kivells.com

10 property of the week
Beautiful thatch has a fantastic outlook When retired naval captain John Dobson and his wife Evelyn were house hunting in 2001 they wanted a generous, fun place for their children and grandchildren to come together. It must have some land (but not too much), and it must be close to great transport links, as John’s business in the care sector required frequent travel. Eminently practical, John also wanted a house on high ground (no flood risk), and with some character, but preferably not listed. They couldn’t believe their luck when they saw Bredon as the Western Morning News Property of the Week just after their search began. “It met every single one of our requirements, with the additional advantage of some of the finest rural views in Devon,” said John. “We hastily made a near offer, which was accepted, and we moved in during the autumn.” Set in the delightful East Devon village of Otterton, Bredon was built in the 1920s. Since then it has not only been beautifully maintained, but also extended and improved through the decades. This charming house is built in the style of a traditional cob cottage with a thatched roof curving attractively around the windows, but closer inspection reveals that Bredon’s walls are actually brick – insulated cavity walls, at that. The house also has hard wood double-glazed leaded windows, great for preserving heat. Another insulating factor is the thatched roof. “I was wary of the thatch at first, because we had no previous experience of it,” said John.
Gillian Molesworth finds a much loved family gathering place in Devon “We talked to a number of thatchedroof owners who were clearly devotees, and quickly became persuaded of the advantages. As one said to us, it is like having a 16-inch blanket over the house, which keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. Our insurance is only marginally more than a standard roof, and there are several excellent master thatchers in the area who keep maintenance prices at a competitive level.” Inside, Bredon’s rooms are bright and spacious. It has a cheerful kitchen with cooking range, polished granite work surfaces and a large island unit in the centre. There is a handsome dining room, and also a breakfast room.

Built in the 1920s and lovingly tended through the generations, Bredon has the atmosphere of a traditional character property, with the practicality of a modern building massive inglenook-style fireplace with log burning stove and heavy beam. The study also has wonderful views. The Dobsons have added a large garden room which captures the stunning views, and a quality conservatory by Everest that also overlooks the village. Upstairs in the house are four bedrooms, two of them en suite, and a further lavatory/shower room. Bredon also has a self-contained annexe with kitchen/sitting room, bathroom and bedroom. A large room used by the previous owners for staff accommodation has been converted into a generous 400 sq foot playroom, perfect for boisterous youngsters. “It’s proved most successful, especially since it is on the opposite end of the house to the sitting room!” said John. “As this room also has its own entrance it would be perfect for anyone working from home.” There is a detached double garage at the side of the house in keeping with the style, and also residual detailed planning consent to build a further 1,000sq ft on two levels on the northern side of Bredon. John and Evelyn are keen gardeners, and have kept the trees, shrubs and borders on the property’s 1.5 acres looking beautiful. They have also added a quality all-weather tennis court. “We actually open the gardens to the public as part of a village open

garden event, and helped to raise thousands for charity through it,” said John. “The only frustrating thing is that people often photograph the house rather than the garden!” Bredon is clearly a house that has been much loved through the generations, and kept shipshape inside and out as only a naval family can. It’s certainly fulfilled its remit of much-loved family gathering spot,
where the Dobsons’ seven grandchildren, now aged eight to 16, have gathered for memorable family holidays. Indeed, they have taken news of the sale hardest of all, and even wrote a formal petition asking their grandparents not to sell. “Over the past 13 years we have been immensely proud to have owned one of the most admired thatched houses in Devon, but alas, the time
has come to downsize,” said John. “We have already purchased our retirement property so there is no onward chain and we can move at the speed desired by our purchasers.”

Calling all walkers and cyclists! This three-bedroom semi-detached moorland house close to Bellever Forest and Tor has amazing views, and good-sized gardens. If let for 30 weeks I estimate this property could generate £14,000 to £15,000. Agents: Abode, Tavistock, 01822 618833, www.abodewestcountry.co.uk
Grimscott, Bude, Cornwall, £540,000
Taking walks on Gillian Molesworth discovers that there is so much moor to enjoy in the Westcountry during the autumn Autumn is a beautiful time to get out and about in the Westcountry. Pack your sturdy footwear and waterproofs and go walking on the moors or woodlands to take in the autumn foliage. You’ll enjoy yourself while you’re out, and then reward yourself with a hearty pub meal afterwards. Whether you’re planning a half-term excursion with kids or a getaway for two, there are some great properties to use as a base to enjoy the Westcountry wilds. Here’s our selection on the magnificent moors: DARTMOOR Where to walk: You are spoiled for choice on beautiful Dartmoor, but this walk around Birch Tor is a gentle stroll with spectacular views. It is just over a mile of easy walking. Park off the B3212 at SX 682819. The path starts at the back of the car park and widens into a track. On top of the hill you will see a large pile of rocks and the path takes you up to these and then along the top to Birch Tor (SX 686814). From here you can see the white building of the Warren House Inn, and the remains of the old Vitifier and Golden Dagger mines. Behind you to the south east is Hamel Down Tor and the ancient settlement of Grimspound. To the north west is Fernworthy. After enjoying the views retrace your steps to the car. From www.divinedartmoorwalks.co.uk
Close to a popular coastal resort, this versatile dormer bungalow has incredible views of surrounding countryside from all the main rooms, as well as 11.9 acres of pasture with two loose boxes. Over a 30-week season I would anticipate it earning in the region of £21,000. Agents: Stags, Launceston, 01566 487005, www.stags.co.uk
Where to eat: The Warren House Inn or East Dart are the closest to the walk, and the Ring of Bells Inn is closest to the accommodation. All are known for great food and atmosphere.
Jasmine Cottage, Kilve, Somerset, £279,950
Where to stay: Puddaven is a southfacing converted barn near North Bovey. It has wonderful country views, and dogs are welcome. Sleeps four. From £343 per week. BODMIN MOOR Here is a friendly loop of about 3.5 miles at Garrow near Blisland, which
takes in some well preserved Bronze Age huts and medieval field systems near the prehistoric site known as King Arthur’s Hall. Where to walk: Park just short of the waterworks on Emblance Downs (SX131767) and walk roughly north, keeping the enclosure wall on your right until you reach a small stone circle. Walk uphill to a fence, over which is a stile. Descend to a stone bridge over a stream, walk through a conifer plantation, then bear right uphill on the ancient trackway. The track leads you in a counter-clockwise loop around the Bronze Age settlement; then retrace your steps through the plantation. From “Shortish Walks on Bodmin Moor” by Paul White, Bossiney 2008 Where to eat: Head for the Old Inn at St Breward for hearty and flavourful local comfort food, or to the Blisland Inn for a draught of real ale. Where to stay: Churchgate Cottage is a pretty granite and slate cottage in the centre of Blisland, overlooking the village green. It has exposed wooden beams and a granite lintel fireplace. It has two bedrooms and sleeps up to three. From £290 per week. EXMOOR Here’s a longer walk with stunning views around the area of Winsford. Where to walk: Leave your car in the pleasant village of Winsford (Grid ref. SS906350) for this scenic route of about six miles. Walk west from the Bridge Cottage Tea Rooms, fork right over the ford, and follow Ash Lane in the direction of Comers Cross, passing the church on your right. Follow this lane for about 400 metres to a footpath sign on the left (Grid ref. 901351). After Withycombe Farm, turn left along a track and climb towards Winsford Hill. Ahead and to your left is the Punchbowl – a dramatic natural amphitheatre – which the bridleway skirts on the western
edge. The summit of Winsford Hill is about 300 metres west of the bridleway and can be reached by heading through the heather or more easily by using the paths and tracks that crisscross this area. The summit provides wide ranging panoramas especially north to Dunkery Beacon.
If period features and a beautiful setting appeal, then this cottage in a popular Quantock village within a mile of the sea is for you. All main rooms overlook lovely gardens and it’s well situated for superb walks. If let for 25 to 30 weeks, I estimate it could achieve £14,000. Agents: Webbers, Minehead, 01643 706917, www.webbers.co.uk The estimated income figures above are net of agency fees and VAT, but not running costs.

The advantages of using a reputable agency include more bookings and less hassle as it manages marketing and deals with booking administration on your behalf. As well as its marketing expertise, you gain a prompt response to customer queries and an effective website and booking system. The holiday cottage industry is increasingly competitive and even if you have a bespoke website it can be difficult to top search engine listings and reach a broad market. Annually, Helpful Holidays’ website receives over 1.2 million visits and we send over 300,000 pieces of direct mail and over a million email newsletters to a carefully selected database of potential customers. Free support and advice should be willingly provided by an agency, based on its experience of the letting market. This includes everything from development and planning and income forecasts to advice on regulations, interior design, reliable caretakers and suppliers. An agency should give you financial security. Helpful Holidays guarantees payment to owners for every confirmed booking, even if it is cancelled and holds a damage deposit. If an agency has knowledgeable members of staff they’ll guide customers to properties which suit them best, resulting in repeat bookings and recommendations from happy holidaymakers.
Q. The neighbour to my holiday cottage has applied for planning permission for major alterations to his property. I have several bookings for next year, and am concerned the work may disturb my guests. – LJ, Newquay
visitors who have already booked for dates which are likely to be affected. The work may well be detrimental to their enjoyment of your property, especially if they arrive unaware of the situation. We recommend you offer those who have already booked the options of either cancelling with a full refund, or receiving a substantial discount as compensation. As to future enquiries for weeks which may be affected, be truthful; potential customers may be willing to tolerate possible disruption in return for a generous discount.
Q. Does a free-standing bath in a bedroom appeal to holidaymakers or is it impractical? – MD, Bovey Tracey A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Whilst not so practical at home, a bathtub bedroom gives the ambience of a boutique hotel and is appreciated in a holiday home where guests have time to indulge in a long relaxing soak. Supplemented by other bathrooms, the bedroom bath is most striking when designed as an extravagant feature; cast iron, claw-footed, roll-top baths are effective, though designer freestanding baths are now available in a wide range of shapes. Space is essential and location will be influenced by plumbing and electrics, but if you can position the bath to take in a beautiful countryside or coastal view, it will add to the romance. A bathtub doesn’t have to be a ‘wet area’ providing children won’t be splashing around; timber or stone flooring, a bath mat and a low velocity extractor can alleviate concerns about soggy carpets. If you have a question for our holiday home experts, please send it via email to: wmnproperty@ westernmorningnews.co.uk
A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:
For the full route see www.walkingbritain.co.uk, ref 1222. Where to eat: The four-star Royal Oak Inn at Winsford (pictured) is one of Britain’s most photographed buildings, and has great food, too. Where to stay: Nethercote Byre near
Winsford is a keen walker’s dream. Up a mile-long drive in Exmoor countryside, it is surrounded by footpaths straight from the front door. Leave the car at home and explore a different walk every day. It sleeps eight and costs from £460 per week. All of the above cottages can be
hired through Helpful Holidays – see details below.

Try to find out whether planning permission is likely to be granted and, if so, when these alterations will be taking place. Objections to the proposed alterations, builders’ work schedules and weather can delay work. If planning permission is granted and a date set, ascertain the times when the builders will start and finish their work. You will need to advise

Rich veins of gold I have a friend who has spent over 30 years living in Fiji, a group of islands in the South Pacific. Jo’s home is surrounded by beautiful hills, mountains and lush rain forests. Her small garden is filled with exquisite orchids displayed against a backdrop of brightly coloured flowering shrubs that wouldn’t be hardy enough to grow outside in my own garden. The heat and humidity sometimes is almost too much for Jo, but plants love it and grow well. Although Jo is well and truly settled in the Fijian lifestyle, she’s surrounded by a lot of green all year round. What she really misses about Devon is the ever-changing seasons: spring with its fresh new leaves and cherry blossoms, and her favourite season, autumn, with its fiery reds, oranges and yellows. Plants react to the length of daylight hours. As the days shorten and temperatures start to fall, plants begin their preparations for winter, when they will live off the food stored during the summer. As they begin to shut down their systems the green pigment in leaves (chlorophyll), is no longer manufactured and begins to fade away, revealing yellows and oranges. Bright reds and purples are visible when glucose becomes trapped in the leaves during this process. The colours will vary according to the species and the weather conditions. Dry October days followed by cool nights will often produce the best display. During the past few months there have been gradual colour changes amidst trees and shrubs as they prepare for that final explosion of colour before shedding their old leaves and slipping quietly into their dormant winter rest period. Year on year I watch this spectacle happening all around me. It’s just awesome. Euonymus alatus is one of the finest and most reliable plants for
Autumn garden are magical sights. Otter Nurseries plant guru Rose Clark reveals the best selections for lateseason colour autumn colour and a long standing favourite of mine. It’s a slow growing shrub reaching 2m or so; the leaves turn brilliant
Japanese Maples (Acer) are renowned for their explosions of autumn colour crimson pink. Once the leaves have fallen the curious cork-winged branches are revealed. ‘Compactus’ is an equally colourful form but more compact in habit, reaching only one metre in height. They are adaptable and happy in almost any soil, in full sun or part shade. If I had the space to plant a large tree I would choose Liquidambar styraciflua. It’s beautiful. The leaf is very similar in shape to a maple leaf and can often cause confusion
between the species. During the spring and summer the lobed shiny leaves are rich green, and during autumn they assume a gorgeous crimson colouring. ‘Worplesdon’ is a lovely form with orange and yellow colouring during the autumn - plant in moist but free-draining soil. Japanese Maples (Acer) are renowned for their varying leaf shapes and explosions of autumn colour. I simply adore A Seiryu. Its leaf is fine and soft. All through the summer it’s been gently shimmering in the breeze, protected from the strongest midday summer sun, but now the leaves are dancing like fire in shades of red, yellow and orange. Most Japanese maples are happy growing in pots of lime free (ericaceous) compost. Parrotia persica is little known to many, and a large specimen is a breathtaking sight. I first saw it growing in a local garden a number of years ago. In spring its bare branches are covered by dense clusters of small spider like red flowers. The grey/ fawn bark peels on mature plants. In autumn the green leaves change to fiery scarlet and gold. Grow in acidic soil for best autumn colour.

Rose’s truly fabulous fungi As part of my soil preparation and planting, I have been using Mycorrhizal Fungi, and I have been delighted with the results. It’s a bit of a tongue twister and not a new thing (in fact it’s been around in the soil as naturally occurring phenomenon for millions of years), but only recently has it been sold in a packet. The fungus develops a close relationship with the root tissue, often by invading the root but not damaging it, or by developing just outside the root. Tiny fungal strands spread into the surrounding soil and act as an absorption system, supplying additional water and nutrients to the plant. The plant returns the favour by providing sugars and other organic substances which help the Mychorrizal fungi to grow. This mutually beneficial situation is known as symbiosis.
Mycorrhizal fungi help plants to; produce well developed root systems overcome replanting problems more successfully cope more successfully with drought conditions increase crops I use it for planting a number of subjects including trees, shrubs, climbers, roses, bulbs, potatoes – the list is endless. Once I have dug the soil over and cleared the debris and weeds, I’m ready to plant. Here’s how: 1. Dig a hole twice the diameter of the root ball but a fraction deeper. 2. If the ground appears dry, pour a can water into the base of the hole. 3. Put in a stake if required. 4. Mix a small amount of soil with compost and place in the base of the hole.
5. Sprinkle in the recommended amount of Mycorrhizal fungi. 6. Gently tease out the roots to encourage them to grow outwards, and sit them on the Mycorrhizal, making sure roots and fungi are in direct contact with each other. The
roots of bare rooted plants should be spread out in the planting hole. 7. Return a mix of compost and soil to fill in the remainder of the hole and firm in. 8. Sprinkle a small amount of bone meal on top and water if necessary.

Be smart with your money
BY JULIA GRAY Everyone makes changes to their home to suit their lifestyle and their taste, but you may also be interested in discovering what would make it
more valuable when the time comes for you to sell. Luckily, the home improvements that most appeal to buyers are the same ones that appeal to you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good news all round! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still

concerned about resale though, ask local estate agents whether the work youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering is advisable. They should know if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be spending more than the finished property would be worth, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be spending your money on the right home improvements for the area and the type of people who will buy your home. For example, a lot of cottages and other small houses have a downstairs bathroom, usually off the kitchen, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste. Sometimes moving the bathroom into one of the bedrooms will add value, but it does depend on the number of bedrooms and who you want to appeal to when you sell. Buyers might expect a downstairs bathroom in that area or type of property, so moving the bathroom upstairs could be a waste of time and money. If your house has two or three bedrooms and is likely to appeal to younger buyers who have a family or are planning one, they might want the bathroom downstairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an upstairs bathroom isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much good if it means young children have to sleep downstairs. However, if you expect to sell to older, downs-
izing buyers whose kids have flown the nest, they mostly prefer an upstairs bathroom because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convenient. If you can fit a toilet (and washbasin) upstairs without compromising the layout too much, this can be a good solution. In areas where parking is tricky, having offstreet parking makes life easier day to day and is a big asset when you sell. However, off-street parking is a better investment in some areas than others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you live in an expensive urban area, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost certainly money well spent. You may need planning permission for offstreet parking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the interactive house at www.planningportal.gov.uk has information on what you can do without planning, but check with your local council too, as there are exceptions to the rules. In most cases, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also need to apply to the council to drop the kerb to access your off-street parking easily. Dropping the kerb can be expensive, sometimes costing thousands of pounds because the pavement has to be altered too, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a cheap way to add value but can make a big difference both now and when you come to sell.
Add vaue to your home by knowing which features are as likely to appeal to potenential buyers as to yourselves. Bathrooms and parking are key
