You may even wish to consider purchasing an air conditioner with dehumidifierfor multi-purpose use and cost savings.

4) Extend your house. 10-50% of the value of your house can be added by using this approach. Add a conservatory if you don’t have one or extend your kitchen if it is too small. These are great ways to increase the value of your home for little cost.

5) Prune or plant garden shrubs. Hide those unsightly features such as oil drums, drain pipes and so on by planting new bushes and so on in strategic places. A short visit to the local garden center will throw up plenty of options.
