- The housing market may be quieter but there has been a huge increase in spending in the DIY/home improvement market, according to GfK, as many of us take this time to do projects in our homes.
- All this DIY will prove beneficial to those considering moving once the lockdown has lifted. 76% of prospective buyers are put off by cracks, marks and stains according to Sell House Fast.
- In 2019 the NAEA found 98% of homeowners had improved their homes within the past 5 years, with redecorating (72%) and garden makeovers (40%) being the two most popular improvements.
- Doing home improvements at this time will not only keep us active and provide a focus, it will help sell our home too.
