You may be thinking of selling and moving or just want to increase the value of your property. With the value of property in some areas declining there are still ways to reverse this trend.
If you implement one or two of the suggestions listed your property is still likely to increase in value.
Be energy efficient
Fitting your home with energy efficient appliances can add value to your home by promising to knock the costs of bills. With a wide variety of new products on the market for this, it’s increasingly becoming a key feature for new homes. Ensure your loft is well insulated and be proud to show the viewers.
Double glaze the windows
Noisy roads can impact the value of a property. Double glazing will keep the home warm and keep the noise out, even if it’s near a main road.
Creating space
Opening up living space is becoming more and more popular, particularly for the kitchen and dining room. Combining the two into one large room creates a sociable space, great for the whole family to enjoy.
Replace doors
First impressions count volumes in a house valuation. The front door of your home can say a lot about the rest of the house to viewers seeing it for the first time. The door should display draft proofing qualities and open and close easily.
A lot of energy saving measures within the home can be installed free or carry a subsidy if you are on certain benefits. So, before you start check to see if you are entitled to any financial assistance.
