If you have a property then it’s understandable that you’d want it to increase in value over time. If your property doesn’t go up in value then you may find that when you sell, you end up losing out on money which is the last thing you want. If you feel as though you are ready to make a positive change then all you have to do is take a look below.
Consider Exterior Appeal
First impressions are everything when the time comes for you to sell your home. If you leave the exterior of your home in a very bad condition then you will have people questioning your investment before they even step foot in the door.
One solution would be for you to give your home a new lick of paint. Take the time to repaint the door or even put in a new one. Hanging baskets might seem like a simple purchase, but they can work wonders for your home, too. Garden tidy-ups will work well, too, and even though you may spend a bit of money here, the reward is going to be well worth it. If you have a pool or hot tub, make it look good and invest in routine hot tub maintenance.
For Those With Them, (Especially Up North) Convert your Cellar
If you are willing to take on a huge project then converting your cellar is certainly one to be looking at. You can easily make your space more snug by doing this and you may even find that you can free up an extra bedroom as a result.
The best thing about converting your cellar is that you do not need planning permission. It’s a change of use for planning purposes and this means you can get it done in no time at all.
Converting a cellar isn’t easy and you will need professional advice to get this done. You will also need to take note of your area. If your house is already worth quite a lot when compared to other homes on the street then this will translate to you losing out and not making a profit at all.
Renovate your Loft
If you have a loft then you will want to get this renovated. By doing this, you can turn the space into a usable office and this is a great way for you to capitalize on the space. Renovating a loft takes time but it is worth doing. In a city, this is a great way for you to add value.
If you live in a rural location with more space then it could be worth not making your house top-heavy as it won’t add much value at all.
Consider extending outwards if this is the case as you will see a bigger benefit from it. If you can do this then you will soon find that it is possible for you to get the result you want and for a very affordable price. If you want to know more about upgrading your home then speaking to a qualified realtor could be the way to go.
