Don't Move - Improve
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Olly_Fallon]Olly Fallon

Times are tough financially across the world. Here in the UK all we hear is doom and gloom about the economy and the stagnant housing market. People simply cannot move home without suffering a significant loss financially, due to the value of their properties.

So the key is to make the best of what you have got - don't move - improve.

The home improvement industry is one that most would assume would be number one to fail in a recession. This, in some cases, can be true however is this extreme recession, not only are house prices falling but interest rates are so low that even people with savings are seeing no returns.

Really now is the best time to use your savings to improve your home either to make it more comfortable or to add value for when the housing market begins to recover.

There are many ways that a home can be improved to make your time spent there much more enjoyable. Below are three product ranges that you can choose from that not only add a bit of luxury living, but also add value to your property.

Sun Awnings - these blinds are mounted in a small horizontal cassette on the wall of you property. When not in use you would hardly know an awning was there. At the press of a button the awning extends offering large areas of shelter from both the sun and light showers. This is like an extension to your home and will count as such when you come to sell your property.

Auto Garage Doors - Most people do not use their garages as manual doors are heavy and laborious. Automated garage doors have fallen a lot in price with the recession so now is a great time to invest. This will allow you to keep your car safe and sheltered without you even having to leave the vehicle.

Conservatory roof blinds - these exterior blinds prevent the suns heat from hitting your conservatory roof immediately cutting a significant amount of heat but not reducing the light. This makes a once unusable conservatory usable again on the hottest of days. Heat is easily controlled by how far you choose to have the blind extended. All this at the push of a button - stylish and practical!

With discounts being offered on the above products that are larger than ever before, anyone in the fortunate position to have savings could be investing in their home, enjoying their time spent there as well as improving for a potential future sell.
