Putting your house on the market soon? In a market that’s been gaining traction every day, with house prices returning to all-time highs, it’s worth getting the right price.
Whether you’re selling a smart suburban terraced house or a luxury apartment in London, there are certain things you can do to get the highest returns possible. Here are five of the smartest way to boost the value of your property today.
- Enhance kerb appeal
The property façade always shapes first impressions for prospective buyers. To make sure everyone who views your property falls in love with it straight away, keeping the front features clean and tidy makes all the difference.
Whether it’s weeding and mowing the lawn or pruning potted plants and dusting the patio, there are so many ways to spruce up your property exterior. Our bonus tip: in autumn or winter, make sure you’ve had your gutters cleaned too.
Giving your kitchen a serious makeover could increase your home’s value by 10%. With extra profit on the cards after spending just a few thousands on renovations and improvements, renovating the kitchen could be the most important project to get stuck into.
Whether it’s totally stripping out the space or simply adding new, more luxurious materials, kitchen enhancements are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally valuable. As the heart of the home, most buyers will be looking for a kitchen that exceeds their needs.
- Improve energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is a talking point in the current housing market.
Along with the legal requirement to arrange an Energy Performance Certificate before you sell a property, green features make homes more appealing to buyers too.
Whether you upgrade with smart technologies or renewable technologies like solar panels, there are so many ways to boost value and eco-credentials simultaneously. Don’t forget to choose sustainable materials in your kitchen upgrade, too.
Extra bathrooms make any family household more convenient.
No matter the size of your property, building a new loo or upgrading the existing family bathroom could become the biggest selling point. An additional bathroom is guaranteed to attract more interest to your property and make higher valuations more likely. If you’re looking for a better return on investment, focusing on the bathroom could be worthwhile.
Finally, don’t overlook the value of redecorating your property. If your living areas, kitchen and bathrooms are already completed to a high standard with contemporary fittings, then a new colour scheme could be the missing piece to add more value to your home.
Whether you work with an interior designer or inspire choices with your own tastes and style, freshening up your home with new shades could breathe new life into the space.
Boosting the resale value of your property does require some investment. But with careful planning and some smart upgrades, you could be rewarded very highly at valuation. Plus, any improvements you make before the sale will make the rest of your time in the property much more enjoyable. Good luck!
