<p>We Brits are borderline obsessed with property &#8211; from late-night <em>Rightmove</em> scrolls to full-blown grand design Pinterest boards. And it’s not slowing down any time soon. Big builds, clever extensions, kitchen overhauls… we’re all at it, and when it’s done well, it’s not just a lifestyle upgrade, it’s a savvy investment too. </p>



<p>In fact, a recent report by Aviva found nearly seven million UK homeowners are planning to renovate in the next two years, so if you&#8217;re dabbling in the idea, you&#8217;re not alone.</p>
