5 Key Fixes to Increase Your Home Price
Create Value
Apart from a fresh coat of paint, homeowners often struggle with deciding what they should look at renovating – especially if they are on a budget to get it done.
In our experience, focusing on the following key areas will create the biggest impact for the least amount of money, which reduces the risk of overcapitalising.
Even if you aren’t planning on selling right away, you’ll still improve the look and feel of your home while adding value.
No.1: The Front Door
First impressions count. The better your home looks from the outside, the more appealing it will be to potential buyers.
A fresh coat of paint, new fly screen and door handles for your front door are a great way to give you home the wow factor.
No.2: Garden Front & Back
Speaking of kerb appeal, making sure your garden is neat, well-maintained and weeded is a very easy way to make sure your home presents well to potential buyers.
Removing rubbish around the yards is also a big must.
No.3: Lighting
Natural light is a major factor in a buyer’s decision process. Consider removing unnecessary window covers, replacing old and broken blinds and consider getting some warm LED lights installed, especially in darker rooms.
Good lighting will give a significant upgrade to the feel of your home.
No.4: flooring
Replacing carpet or refinishing floorboards will give each room a new look.
Keeping flooring as consistent as possible also helps to make it feel more spacious and improves the flow between rooms.
no.5: Kitchen Update
Unless a kitchen is retro, or the layout doesn’t work, you can save a lot of money by updating rather than gutting and replacing.
New benchtops, cabinet doors and handles, new appliances and fixtures can really give new life to an older kitchen without a full replacement.
