Changed my mind about living in fixer upper - what kind of finish?

Advice please?

A few years ago I bought a fixer upper. Did loft and side extension, had nightmare with builders etc etc, now it is progressing again and I really don't want to move in. It just feels so negative to me.

I had originally planned to do underfloor heating downstairs, a pantry, another shower room downstairs. You know, make it lovely for my family. Now I just want to move on.

How much would you put into a property that you won't actually live in? I'm not sure whether ufh and the extra shower room etc will increase value, or rather more indirectly just make it a more attractive property with no increase in price tag or type of offer.

It is a 3 bed, with two extra bedrooms in the loft converted edwardian house in zone 2 of London, bought for £900k, others on the market for £1.5m with loft and side extension.

What would you advise?

It's quite a buyers market around these parts.....
