If you have the money saved to improve your home, you may be weighing up which changes to make. Here are 10 of the most popular improvements people have made.

1. The loft or basement conversion into a livable space, such as a bedroom, workshop or model railway room, can add value to your property and provide more space.

2. If you have a big garden, but would prefer more indoor living space, having a conservatory could be the right choice. They make for a great feature and are perfect for relaxing with the Sunday papers.

3. Converting the garage into an extra bedroom or having an additional room built above it are two popular options if you need another room.

4. If you are happy with the number of bedrooms, but want to change the living space elsewhere in the house, knocking through the walls or having them put in, could dramatically change the property.

5. If you are relying on standalone or electric heating devices, you may want to consider having central heating fitted to the property.

6. If you have more than enough space, but not enough lavatories, having an additional bathroom/toilet added - either downstairs or as an en suite - could be the solution.

7. If your garden is the only thing letting your property down or you just want somewhere nice to sit out in this summer, having your garden worked on could be improvement enough.

8. Kitchen fittings can look dated after a while, so if you are keen to have new units and doors brought in, now may be the right time.

9. If your home doesn't have double glazing, you could be missing out on a quieter, easier to heat, living environment.

10. New flooring could be the answer if you want to make the change away from carpet or vice versa. Plus, with acoustic insulation and sound control, you can have greater privacy in your home.

Sound reduction can be achieved with the help of acoustic insulation when having new flooring fitted.
