4 Easy ways to boost the value of your sale of house
Got a little time and energy to spare before selling your property? If so, implementing the tips below could add substantial value to your house without breaking your budget.
- Brush up
One of the simplest and most affordable ways to improve your home is by giving it a fresh coat of paint. Painting the outside of the house is especially important, as this is the first part of the home that prospective buyers will see. Remember to choose neutral, gentle colours – such as white or beige – as these will appeal to the greatest number of potential purchasers.
- Go green
Adding some foliage to the inside of your home creates a lush, pleasant space for potential buyers, while a vibrant front garden is an inviting addition to any home – whether or not you’re trying to finalise a sale of house. Spend some time pruning, cleaning and freshening up your front garden (if you have one), or ensuring that the entrance-way to your home is clear of clutter and debris. Purchase indoor, low-maintenance plants for the interior of your home.
- Make an impression
Whether or not you have a front garden, ensure that the front of your house is aesthetically appealing to visitors. Paint or varnish your front door, clean porches or paths and trim away overgrown shrubs. Replace faulty fittings or bulbs in outside lamps and get rid of worn-out welcome mats. Remember that, as this is the point of entry to your house, your home is very likely to be judged by its entrance.
- Fix what's broken
Walk through your home and take note of what needs to be replaced. Broken or damaged doorknobs, cupboard handles, light-switches, locks, and taps should be replaced, while holes in walls should be filled. These are all repairs that can be made quickly, simply and inexpensively. Old, stained tiles in bathrooms can be revitalised with a coat of special bathroom tile paint. Scrub grouting clean, or replace it with new grouting, and be sure to get rid of any mildew in the house.
