People looking to add few pounds to their property value should make it warmer and more energy efficient, says the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC).
Andrew Leech, executive director of the body, says that loft and cavity wall insulation will not only help to keep your energy bills down it will also bump up the value of your home and make it more appealing to potential purchasers.
He also stated that the house has to have what he calls "kerb appeal", meaning it looks good from the outside and suggested that ideally the windows should be double glazed and secure.
"If you're talking about looking at selling a house on then you have got to make it look as normal as possible, you don't want any garish paintings, decorations or [colour] schemes running throughout the house. You want to make it a very neutral environment because people can relate to that more," Mr Leech added.
Phil Spencer, presenter of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location, said last year that painting the outside of the house may cost between £100 and £1,000 but could add around £5,000 to its value.
