Home improvement work on features such as kitchen sinks may prove to be a lucrative option for residents who are looking to raise the value of their house.People who opt to invest in their home to make it more profitable will be making a more productive choice than those who decide to sell and purchase a new property in the present market, a representative from Build It has claimed.Anna-Marie DeSouza, editor at Build It, said Obviously you always need to carefully look at your financial situation and job stability before taking out any sort of loan.However, investing in your home is a highly profitable manoeuvre under various circumstances.Ms DeSouza also warned that people must be careful that the money they invest will be sufficiently recouped in a sale.Her remarks follow research conducted by FrogTape on May 17th, which found that 54 per cent of men have previously cut corners when decorating their homes.
