Tip : Add an extra room, bathroom or deck space
Premium Team is back with new tips to add value to your home.
Tip : Add an extra room, bathroom or deck space:
One of the biggest upgrades you can make to a property is adding a whole new room.
Usually, this involves converting an unused loft or basement into new living space – a child's bedroom, a mini apartment for an elderly relative or tenant, a bar or a games room. Or you can physically expand your home by adding decking or building a patio, so you'll have an outdoor dining and entertaining area in the summer.
If your home only has one bathroom, adding a second bathroom can offer the biggest return on investment. Areas under stairs and utility rooms can be suitable for a small bathroom, but if you want to include a shower or a bath, you may need to sacrifice part of your bedroom space to create an en-suite.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
