Home improvements can be one of the most strategic investments in increasing your property’s Value. But not all upgrades are created equal.
Some enhancements yield high returns, while others might cost more than they’re worth.
At London Estate Agency, we help property owners unlock the full potential of their homes — and we do far more than sell or rent.
From Tenant Screening to Rent Protection and even EPC certifications, our in-house services are designed to maximise your return and protect your investment every step of the way.
The Value-Boosting Power of Home Improvements
Not all home improvements are about aesthetics — many are strategic financial moves.
Whether you’re preparing to sell or let, strategic upgrades can yield significant increases in property valuation.
Kitchen Renovations – The Heart of the Home
A kitchen upgrade remains one of the top-performing investments in property value.
Modernising your kitchen with energy-efficient appliances, quality countertops, and stylish cabinetry can add between 5% to 15% to the total Value of your home.
Tip: Stick to a timeless design. Buyers and renters alike favour neutral, functional, and durable kitchen layouts.
Suppose you’re renovating to attract high-quality tenants. In that case, our team can assist with a tailored EPC consultation, ensuring your new kitchen isn’t just stylish but energy-efficient — boosting your EPC rating and your property’s desirability.
Bathroom Upgrades – Small Space, Big Impact
Second only to the kitchen, a bathroom renovation is a game-changer. A clean, modern, and well-designed bathroom can offer a return on investment (ROI) of up to 70%. Consider walk-in showers, dual sinks, heated towel rails, and water-saving toilets.
For landlords, this isn’t just about increasing Value — it’s about reducing void periods and commanding higher rents. Our Tenant Screening service ensures your upgraded property is matched with tenants who carefully treat it.
Loft Conversions – Expand to Add Value
Adding extra usable space is one of the most profitable ways to increase property value.
A loft conversion can boost your home’s Value by up to 20%, particularly if it includes an additional bedroom and en-suite.
Before making structural changes, checking compliance and energy performance is crucial.
We offer in-house EPC services to ensure your conversion meets modern standards, giving buyers and renters peace of mind.
Energy Efficiency Improvements – EPC Ratings Matter
In today’s market, energy efficiency isn’t optional — it’s expected. Buyers and tenants are increasingly looking for homes with strong EPC ratings.
Improving insulation, installing double glazing, and upgrading your boiler can drastically reduce utility bills and increase property value by thousands.
At London Estate Agency, we don’t just sell properties. We offer fully compliant EPCs for both sales and lettings, helping you stay ahead of legal requirements while making your property more appealing.
Curb Appeal – First Impressions Count
A well-maintained exterior can add up to 10% to a property’s Value.
From painting the front door to landscaping the garden, external upgrades increase interest and reduce time on the market.
Want to know how your property presents to potential tenants? Our lettings team offers expert consultation on minor yet powerful improvements that can transform your property’s curb appeal.
Open-Plan Living – Modern Layouts Add Desirability
Modern buyers and renters gravitate towards open-plan living. Knocking down non-structural walls to combine the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas can dramatically improve light and space, adding up to 6% in Value.
When paired with our Rent Protection services, you’re not just improving your property but investing in a safer, more secure rental future.
Garden Landscaping – Outdoor Space is Premium
Post-pandemic, the demand for quality outdoor space has skyrocketed. Simple landscaping, a patio area, or even a well-designed deck can offer an ROI of over 80%. A stunning garden draws attention and sets your listing apart, whether selling or letting.

The Hidden Value of Professional Support
Many homeowners dive into improvements without fully understanding local regulations, energy requirements, or what buyers are actually looking for.
That’s where we come in.

Tenant Screening to reduce risk

Letting vs Selling – Maximise Value Either Way
Whether you’re preparing to sell your home or rent it out, every improvement should be geared toward ROI and legal compliance.
For landlords, a strong EPC and modern finish means higher rents and better tenants. For sellers, it means faster sales and higher offers.
Let our in-house experts handle the details — from arranging certificate compliance checks to tenant placement.
We help you capitalise on your investment without the stress.
