Develop your Property is aimed at the thousands of people in the UK who are looking to make a serious and long-term investment in their property. Extensions, conversions, renovations – the list of improvements is daunting and knowing where to start and who to trust on a major project can discourage those with even the very best intentions.

Written by property guru and established Which? author Kate Faulkner, Develop your Property gives clear and practical advice from the ground up. It looks at the best methods to secure finance for your projects, what the typical costs for a conversion or extension might be and how to project-manage the critical details. It also explains the key structures and features of your home and how they could be affected by a conversion project, including foundations, roofing materials, block and brickwork, plumbing and electrics, helping you to make the most of your biggest asset.
