But it's generally accepted that most fittings don't recover their cost,
especially at the upper end price wise of such things. Bathrooms, kitchens
etc. Whereas things like fitting central heating where non existed, or
adding a garage generally will.

In a widely quoted survey last year, the change that increased the
value of a property the most (more accurately retained the highest %
of the cost), was surprisingly, off street parking.

I can believe that - although it's not often possible to provide it
afterwards, as it were.

Apparently council flats with externally fitted water heaters were
cited as the single item most devaluing the value of the property ;-)

No surprise there then. ;-)
