Which improvement to spend ££££s on?

[workininacoalmine]

Name changed. We want to sell our family home (largeish 4 bed Edwardian semi) to downsize now DC have all left. We have about £50k to improve it. One bedroom is currently in loft conversion but it's a bit crap. We are going to spend about 30k on building a new garage and landscaping the garden (a mess currently), then have 20k or a bit more left over to do one of these options: 1. Improve the current loft conversion to make it a wow factor master bed with en suite; 2.Build a utility room on side of the house 3.En suite to main bedroom and improve and modernise the family bathroom. Kind of guessing at the costs right now these are just thoughts. Want to make the house attractive to buyers and increase its value if we can. Any nuggets of wisdom welcome! Thanks mumsnetters

Save the money to spend on your new place.

I agree that it's not a good idea to do any of the work, not even the garage. Just to put you off even further: think how often you start a job and it uncovers loads of other things that need doing. Leave the hornets nest alone!

Thanks for updating, I love it when people come back to a thread with a decision! Good luck with your house sale.

If you’ve got off road parking I don’t think you need the garage.
Good idea to get the 3 EAs round to value as is.
