While owners of property in need of restoration might want to carry out improvements by themselves, it could affect the future value of their home if they make a mistake.This is the advice from Andrew Leech, director at the National Home Improvement Council, who noted any major DIY projects in the home should be logged for future reference.
"You have also got to be careful that you are quite competent at doing these jobs because some of these things like electricity and gas require specialists," he pointed out.
"If you have done things on heating or electricity, when the solicitor asks for details of the improvements that you have made, he or she may also ask for certificates to show that you have made these improvements; if you haven't got certificates, then you won't sell the house."
Meanwhile, figures from Nationwide show London house prices and those in other parts of the country rose 0.5 per cent on average in March.
