Anglian Home Improvements Sponsor Jack Piper

Anglian Home Improvements sponsors Jack Piper

(PRWeb UK) August 27, 2009

Anglian Home Improvements have confirmed the sponsorship of Jack Piper for the rest of the season in the Formula Renault 2-litre BARC series with Falcon Motorsport.

The Norwich teenager is one of motorsport’s rising stars and has seen continued success in his early career. Martin Troughton, Marketing Director for Anglian said “we are delighted to have had this opportunity to support Jack and British motorsport. It’s crucial to encourage and develop young aspiring professionals in every industry and Jack is showing enormous potential”.

Jacks BARC Formula 2 litre Renault has been completely re-painted and puts the Anglian Knight into the fast lane with a creative livery design. First tests for Jack Piper went well in early August and the team along with his sponsors Anglian Home Improvements were both confident and excited about pre qualifying and the first competitive race of the season.

Anglian Home Improvements provided additional support as staff and friends came together at Donnington Park in the Midlands on Sunday 9th August for Jack’s maiden race. The day was extremely eventful with a mixture of results for Jack as retirement unfortunately forced an early exit from the race. His confidence and potential remains very high for the remainder of the season.

Please keep an eye out on the Anglian Home Improvements Blog for the very latest on Anglian and Jack Piper.

HomeGain Releases 2011 Home Improvement Survey Results

Emeryville, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 19, 2011

HomeGain.com, the first website to offer web-based free instant home values, today announced that it has released the results of its nationwide home improvement and home staging Home Sale Maximizer™ survey.

HomeGain surveyed nearly 600 real estate professionals nationwide and configured a list of the top 10 do-it-yourself home improvements that cost under $ 5,000 and benefit sellers most when they sell their homes.

According to the HomeGain survey, the top five home improvements that real estate professionals recommend to home sellers based on average cost and return on investment (from highest to lowest ROI) are:

1. Cleaning and de-cluttering ($ 290 cost / $ 1,990 price increase / 586% ROI)

2. Lightening and brightening ($ 375 cost / $ 1,550 price increase / 313% ROI)

3. Home staging ($ 550 cost / $ 2,194 price increase / 299% ROI)

4. Landscaping ($ 540 cost / $ 1,932 price increase / 258% ROI)

5. Repairing electrical or plumbing ($ 535 cost / $ 1,505 price increase / 181% ROI)

Cleaning and de-cluttering continues to rank as the top suggested home improvement (since the survey was originally conducted in 2000), recommended by 99 percent of real estate professionals, costing less than $ 300 and returning a value of nearly $ 2,000 to the home’s sale price, or a 586 percent return on investment.

“Sellers need to prepare their homes for sale before putting them on the market,” said Louis Cammarosano, General Manager at HomeGain. “Homes that have initial appeal have a better shot at selling faster and closer to the asking price than homes rushed to the market with no improvements.”

Rounding out the top 10 low cost, do-it-yourself home improvements includes: updating electrical systems and/or plumbing, updating the kitchen and bathrooms, replacing or shampooing carpets, painting interior walls, repairing damaged floors, and painting the outside of the home.

The home improvement projects with the highest price increases to a home’s resale value are updating the kitchen ($ 1,265 cost / $ 3,435 price increase), followed by painting the outside of the home ($ 1,467 cost / $ 2,222 price increase) and home staging ($ 550 cost / $ 2,194 price increase).
