Increase the market value of your home with these quick fixes

A little bit of elbow grease and an old tin of paint can go a long way towards revamping a tired-looking home.

• Spring clean! Did you know that one of the simplest and most effective ways of increasing a property’s market value when you sell house is simply by cleaning it up? Spend a day tidying up your home from top to toe – paying special attention to the exterior. Fill garbage bags with litter, scattered leaves and other bits of debris that may be cluttering your property, and give the lawn a good mowing.

  While you’re at it, scrub down your kitchen and bathroom, too. Potential buyers pay particular attention to these areas of a home.

• Got some old paint lurking in the garage? Why not give your front door a fresh coat? It won’t take long to paint your front door, and it will instantly rejuvenate your home’s façade.
• Take a walk around your property and look for areas that need a few minutes’ attention. Knock a nail into a crooked post box, or clean the large grease stain marring your driveway. Taking a few minutes to fix noticeable problem areas could greatly enhance your home’s appeal, and hence its market value.
