Our five easy ways to increase the value of your homeIf you are thinking of moving home or you're simply thinking of the future, you may be looking at ways to up the value of your property. But many think increasing value is a costly initial investment that usually requires a loft conversion or an extension. So, we at Inventive Homes are going to dispel that myth and show you how you can increase property value inexpensively. Give the bathroom & kitchen a makeover For buyers, the most important rooms are the kitchen and bathroom. If either are dirty or outdated it'll hurt your asking price, so take time to give it a bit of a makeover. We aren't talking about a complete overhaul - that costs a lot of money. Simple things will work just as well. Add a new toilet seat, replace the discoloured floor with vinyl tiles, and rid any damp that has grown on your bath or shower. Convert the garage It is thought that 90% of British garages don't even house the car. They're just used as storage rooms for the junk you accumulate while living there. So clear it out and add a small heater, a couch, and maybe a TV. That extra living space will boost the price of your home. A laundry chute People pay for convenience, and it's no different with your home. If it offers a buyer ways to make household chores easier and quicker it's going to do wonders for price. You may even think adding a laundry chute is an expensive job, but you will be surprised. We can build chutes designed around your home, eliminating the daily hassle of hauling laundry up and downstairs. A dream for any buyer! Urban homes - pave your front garden If your house is in the middle of the countryside, keep the flower beds. But if you live in an urban area where parking is at a premium, pave the front yard. People like to have their own parking space. You may need planning permission, so be sure to ask. Improve lighting Good lighting can make rooms look brighter and airy - something anyone on the hunt for a home will surely be looking out for. Replace thick curtains with modern blinds, purchase lights and lamp shades, and rearrange furniture. A small job that will make a big difference. [Return] |
