Making the right decisions in a tough market

An innovative new service that will revolutionise the way houses are bought and sold in England and Wales has been developed by Betternest.co.uk...

It’s particularly relevant in today’s difficult housing market since it gives buyers greater confidence in making their decisions and provides a powerful tool for sellers to attract purchasers.

Extensive research by chief executive Simon Smith – an Architectural Association graduate - and his team has shown that the majority of terrace and semi-detached houses have hidden potential. Their Betternest Property Potential Report, which costs £395, demonstrates how potential can be exploited by making alterations to bring space benefits and add to a property’s resale value. Information that helps prospective buyers decide between competing properties or assess the likely profit that can be realised by improving a selected one.

The unique feature of the Property Potential Report is that it capitalises on opportunities in, the little understood, permitted development rights attached to most properties, that get round the problem of applying for planning permission, which is expensive and time consuming to seek and can be refused.

Three key questions

The report answers three questions frequently asked by purchasers:

  • What space can I add?
  • How much will it cost?
  • What profit can I make?

Smith comments, “When you buy a property you buy its potential. I am often asked to visit properties to give an opinion on the development potential that exists to meet client’s short and long term expectations.”

"This is what a Betternest Property Potential Report does. It's a unique, fast and accurate assessment of a house, saying what can be done within the specific rights applying to the property. It shows what can be done to the property, how much it will cost and what financial return can be expected on the investment."
