House prices in the UK are expected to tread water again in 2012, according to Britain’s biggest building society. 

Looking ahead Nationwide predict another year of varying fortunes across the country, despite the fact house prices are standing 1.1% up on this time a year ago.

In previous years, this unstable market has encouraged many homeowners to delay moving - opting instead to extend rather than move out. Others have decided to make improvements to their home, like installing new windows and doors, which will ultimately give them a better footing on the property ladder and allow them to achieve the optimum price for their home.  

At Acorn Window Services, Basildon’s leading conservatory and window specialist, they offer a number of services to make the very best from your home. 

Maybe you are in desperate need of more space in your home? According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) adding a conservatory to your home can increase the value by as much as 5%. Other research shows that by the time you come to sell your property, you will recoup the full cost of building the conservatory in the first place, making it a worthwhile venture. A conservatory is more than just an investment to the overall value of your house – and it’s much more than just an extra room. It will offer you a space, which is part home, part garden, to enjoy in all weathers and climates, with a plethora of uses. 

The experts at Acorn Windows can also advise on improving the appearance of your home if you plan to put it on the market. They have a catalogue of examples where homeowners have increased the value of their home with simple measures including upgrading windows or installing modern doors. 

People are nearly always drawn to the windows of a home, before taking in anything else, and battered, weather-beaten frames or outdated styles can seriously impact on the image it projects to potential buyers. New double glazing can reinvigorate an older property without losing any of its original character. 

As double glazing specialists, Acorn Windows have a range of products available to revamp your home as well as a team of highly skilled professionals to fit them. 

They are also proud to offer one of the leading Bi-folding door systems in the country. Bi-fold doors are simply folding doors which fold in or out to open up a space and allow you wider openings to your conservatory, patio or swimming pool.
