If you’ve decided to sell your property, you’ve likely wondered how you can add to its value without breaking the bank. Loft conversions, and bathroom renovations might be the obvious solutions but there are simpler, less costly routes you can take. We looked into some quick, easy and economical ways to add value to your property.
Keep it neutral
Nothing breathes new life into a space like a fresh lick of paint. The key is to stick with neutral colours so that prospective buyers can envision the space with their personal style added to it. Neutral colours will also open up the space and make it appear lighter and airier. A pop of colour like a brightly painted door will give it a modern feel without overpowering the space.
Create space
It seems obvious that more space will add value to a property, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you need the expertise of a builder. It’s as simple as getting rid of clutter. Create space by optimising your storage areas and organising your belongings. Prospective buyers should see a living space and not a storage space for clutter. This doesn’t mean smart storage solutions aren’t a big plus.
Security
A property’s aesthetic often takes centre stage, but security should not be overlooked. A secure property with added locks, cameras and motion sensors, will increase the appeal and value of your property.
New tiles
We know what you’re thinking. Retiling is a really expensive project, but this is only one solution to your tiling problem. There is special tile paint available with which you can transform your tiles with any pattern or colour you like. There are also really trendy stick-on tiles available, that look very much like the real deal.
Light fixtures
Old light fixtures can quickly make a room appear dated. By replacing old lights with modern alternatives, will immediately transform the look and feel of a space. This is a small price to pay for something that will significantly boost the aesthetic of a property.
Door handles
This is another seemingly small detail that can change the look of a room completely. Take a look at the trends to add a current feel to the space or opt for a timeless handle that will stand the test of time. Either way, it adds a fresh note to any space.
