Hello MrHappyChap

M| If a terraced house (in an area popular with first time
M| buyers) has a kitchen extension with a flat roof, would the
M| construction of a "regular" roof usually add value to the
M| house?

Around here, there's not much you can do to "add value" - the location
is everything, and there's such a huge pressure that costs just keep
on increasing despite anything.

Eg, last house. I spent around 15k improving it. Went up in value from
90k to 125k in five years. I then sold it and it was sold a year later
for 250k with nothing extra done to improve it.
