Following a rise in "second-time" buyers, Ratedpeople.com has reiterated the benefit of home improvement projects to people moving on from their first property.
The challenge of landing a second home can be just as costly as getting a first foot on the property ladder.
Most homeowners will look to stay in their second property for a much longer time than their first, so they may want to make improvements to their home so that they can achieve long-term financial gain.
For many second-time buyers, the new residence represents an opportunity to start a family.
Whether it be painting rooms or the fitting of a new bathroom, second-time residences are more likely to receive the owner's attention in comparison with a first property.
Andrew Skipwith, founder of Ratedpeople.com, said: "Second-time movers are more likely to have cash to spend on home improvements and look towards making bigger alterations to their home to suit their needs over a longer period."
