How to Increase the Value of Your Home

10 ways to increase the value of your home 


Let's be honest, house prices in every neighbourhood have fallen and even the most attractive homes are sticking on the market. That said, if you are really motivated to sell your home, don't forget that there are several actions you can take which will help you attract buyers without having to depend solely on the lure of a lower price.

1. Open up spaces

2. Improve your home's interior lighting

3. Do all those small maintenance jobs that need doing

4. Install energy saving elements

5. Remember that your home starts at the front door (or front gate)

6. Make sure the flooring is in good condition

7. Make sure the bathroom is in perfect condition

8. Use neutral coloured paints

9. Remove any small flaws that might put potential buyers off

10. Make sure the plants are well tended 


Many of the properties that we are selling at the moment are bank repossessions which have been stood empty for several months, and need at the very least redecorating and in some cases a complete reform, so you may have a better chance of competing against these properties if yours is showing in excellent condition.
