Will a basement conversion add value to my property?

 

Here at Tapco, we have seen a huge rise in basement conversions in the last 6 months. As the UK has emerged out of the housing bubble which was effected badly through the recession, more people are adding value to their existing and potential homes through basement conversions.

‘Will a basement conversion add value to my property?’ Yes definitely, in more ways that meets the naked eye. Of course, adding extra space to your property means adding an extra room. Therefore adding an extra room/living space means adding more value to the price of your property, typically around up to 20% of your property value.

However, the benefits of a basement conversion do not stop just there. The extra living space can be converted to your specification, whether it’s a cinema room, games room, office space, gym or utility room. Or how about a wine cellar? The ideas are pretty much endless.

With a new basement conversion, Tapco will build your basement conversion with an energy efficient scope. Wall and floor insulation will be brand new. Thus, with the technology we use the basement does not overheat or cool down too fast.

As a specialist in damp proofing and water proofing, Tapco will ensure all strategic project planning are done to full extent, leaving happy home owners with a stress free mind for any problems.
