A pick of the best New Year projects

Whether it’s giving the living room a fresh lick of paint, revamping the garden or sprucing up the kitchen or bathroom – many of us may well have made a resolution to hone our home improvement skills this year.

For those wanting a longer-term project, buying a property that requires a degree of modernisation has its benefits. Often you can snap up a relative bargain, while creating a home to suit your own style and requirements.

Of course, if it’s an extensive renovation then you should always seek the advice of a registered tradesperson. If you want to carry out work to a listed property you will also need to speak to your local planning authority to ensure you have the correct permissions.

Whatever you’re after – be it a family home ready for some TLC, a historic waterside property in need of an overhaul or a city house ripe for refurbishment – the selection of properties featured below may provide a little inspiration.
