For most of us Australians, our home is our major asset. It is the largest piece of savings we have to show for the daily grind, it is the pinnacle of our working lives. Owning a home is a quintessentially Australian desire and because they represent such a major chunk of our cash, it makes sense to look after it. It makes even more sense to improve it and make it worth more. In some cases, even relatively minor improvements can add large amounts.

Often the improvement will cost far less than the amount it will add to the value of the home, as it gives it an aesthetic boost and also many people simply cannot be bothered doing the work themselves, so they pay extra if someone else has sorted it all out and organised the tradesman and got the planning.

In this financial climate it makes even more sense than ever to make as many improvements on your home as the market is slower than it has been in a while and houses that sell are often those that have had work done. Many agents have noticed that people are looking for ‘finished' homes and often just a bit of work can drastically increase the chances of a quick and profitable sale.
