Q. How can you increase the value of your\nhome? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. By making it more attractive to buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Show houses sell very quickly \u2013 Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Because every show house is perfect.\nBuyers don\u2019t need to do anything. A show house is ready to go, inside and out.\nIt is immaculate. The floors are new, bathrooms and kitchens gleam, and\nelectrical fittings are modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the garden of a show house is perfect\n– turfed with a few shrubs or small trees. No digging, levelling, or raking. All\nthe new owner has to do is run over it with a lawnmower once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could spend \u00a310-20,000 on a new\nkitchen, and the same again renovating your bathrooms. You could spend \u00a315,000\non a new block-paved driveway, and another \u00a325,000 replacing all your windows.\nAny of these improvements would make your house easier to sell. But you would\nbe unlikely to get your money back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You CAN still improve the value of your house. Just keep the projects small. Give yourself a few months to get everything done, and this series of projects could make a big difference to the value of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Tidy the Garden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any garden viewers can see from the road\nmust be immaculate. Better still if your back garden is tidy, de-cluttered, and\nobviously easy to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need a skip to take away all your\nrubbish. Once you get started you will have a lot of rubbish – Think bigger and\nit might be big enough. You could always collect all your junk in one corner,\nsee how much you have, and then decide what size skip to get. But that means\npicking everything up twice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some skip hire services offer a\u2018man &\nvan\u2019 service as an alternative to a skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Power Wash the Drive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Power
Power Wash the Drive<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All driveways get dirty over time, and a\nsoot-blackened or oil-stained driveway looks bad to a prospective buyer. It\nlooks like you don\u2019t care about the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy an electric power washer for\naround \u00a3100, but don\u2019t waste your money. A petrol power washer costs around\n\u00a3300, but has three times the power and will last you a lifetime. Why pay\nsomeone to do it once, when you can buy a power washer for the same outlay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your drive is concrete, tarmac,\nblock paving, or paving slabs, it will look a hundred times better when you\nspend a day cleaning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Replace Garage Doors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Replace

Tired up-and-over doors look dreadful and\nlowerthe value of yourproperty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your old garage door is an eyesore, a\nmassive blot on your property landscape that no buyer can ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have many options for replacement\ngarage doors: side-hinged, roller shutters, round the corner vertical\nshuttering, and many more. Add a remote control for extra luxury and no more\nwrestling to close it in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose from treated timber, PVC, aluminium,\nand steel doors – No more jams and never have to paint it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Redecorate Inside<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Redecorate
Redecorate Inside<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Did your teenager insist on a goth-style\nall-black bedroom? Not to many people\u2019s taste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t have lime green and\npurple d\u00e9cor, your choices of colours are very personal and will distract\nviewers who may be unable to see past your colour scheme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy 20 litres of good quality matt white or\nmagnolia paint and go all through the house. Anybody can live with white walls\nuntil they get around to painting them to their own taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if your rooms are all white or\nmagnolia, there will be scuffs on the walls and skirting boards that need\npainting over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Solar Panels<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Solar
Solar Panels<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Solar panels will soon be a necessity for\nevery home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sooner you buy solar panels, the sooner\nyou start saving. Lower fuel bills are just the start. You can feed your excess\nelectricity into the National Grid and get paid. With gas becoming more\nexpensive year by year, an all-electric home becomes more attractive,\nespecially if you can generate your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar panels appeal to anyone who cares\nabout global warming. But they have awider appeal \u2013to anyone who wants lower\nelectricity bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Repair Fencing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Repair

Fences are a pain. If you have one it must\nbe in good repair or any time you put into tidying your garden will be wasted.\nFirst impressions count and nothing looks worse than a broken Waney lap fence\npanel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check every fence panel for damage and\nreplace any that are broken. If you have a close-board fence, you might be able\nto repair it, but lap fencing panels are so cheap, it\u2019s not worth the hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a couple of cans of a dark fence\ntreatment. Dark because it will make your new panels look the same as your old\nones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. New Curtains<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New
New Curtains<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Window treatments make a huge impact on a\nroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a simple job to replace loud or faded\ncurtains with modern drapes that any viewer will admire. Choose curtains in a\nplain, muted colour that will complement and contrast with your room d\u00e9cor.\nReady-made curtains are inexpensive and are easy to fit. Curtain linings may\nseem like a waste of money, but they make all the difference to the way your\ncurtains hang – Unlined curtains look cheap and give the wrong impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add new curtain poles and tie-backs to\ncomplete the effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Blinds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Blinds\"
Blinds<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Blinds work better than curtains in\nkitchens and bathrooms where space is limited. Check out all the modern style\noptions before making your choice. Steer clear of venetian blinds because they\nare difficult to clean and look like office furnishings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roller blinds work well in most homes\nbecause you can display your good taste by unrolling the blind a foot or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy ready-made blinds, but to fit\ninside a window alcove made-to-measure blinds give a better fit and look\nbetter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. New Light Fittings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New
New Light Fittings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Light fittings serve two purposes; to look\ngood and to provide light. It is worth replacing any dated fittings you have\nand purchasing contemporary light fittings that are designed primarily to look\ngood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, your fittings should be designed\nto take LED bulbs. Some fittings boast that they take \u201cenergy-saving\u201d halogen bulbs.\nHalogen bulbs use almost as much energy as an old-fashioned filament bulb.\nHaving halogen bulbs will adversely affect your BER rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have CFL bulbs in any fittings,\nreplace them with LED bulbs to improve your BER rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Replace Kitchen Cupboard Doors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Replace

Fitting a new kitchen is an expensive and\ndisruptive project. Replacing your cupboard doors and drawer fronts could\nachieve much of the same impression as new units at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen fashions change, and if your\nkitchen was fitted more than a few years ago, the chances are that it will look\ndated. Get advice from a company that specialises in supplying and fitting new\nkitchen cupboard doors. The same companies will replace doors on your bathroom\nunits, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Replace Electrical Sockets<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Replace
Replace Electrical Sockets<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sockets and light switches can be\ndecorative as well as functional. Your electrical sockets may still do the job,\nbut replacing them with new ones in a metallic finish will greatly enhance your\nhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider sockets that include one or more\nUSB sockets and surge protection for electronic devices.Light switches with LED\nindicators are best if the switch is outside the room where the light is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making single sockets into doubles will\nalso add value to your home and it is a simple job for an electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get\nrid of trailing multi-block sockets<\/strong> \u2013 They are\nevidence your home is short of sockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. New Internal Doors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"New
New Internal Doors<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Internal doors that are scratched by pets,\ndented by kids or just plain old-fashioned detract from the value of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greasy finger marks on unvarnished doors\nlook dreadful. Wonky hinges, doors that jam shut or rattle in their frames are\nall turn-offs for people visiting your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you can buy doors and fit them\nyourself. It might take you a weekend to fit one door. Better to hire a\nspecialist who can fit a new door better than you can in less than an hour,\ncomplete with handles and locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Replace BathroomFittings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Replace

You don\u2019t have to go the whole hog and\nreplace your bathroom suite – Unless it\u2019s avocado green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just replacing sink and bath taps with\ncontemporary ones will make a big difference. Adding modern matching towel\nholders, towel rails and a toilet roll holder will really make your bathroom\npop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go the whole hog by changing the toilet\nseat, adding glass shelves, new mirrors, and of course, a new toilet brush and\nholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set it all off with new lighting and\neveryone who sees it will be ecstatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Replace Cloudy Window Units<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Replace
Replace Cloudy Window Units<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nobody tells you when you buy double\nglazing that the units won\u2019t last for life. PVC frames will, but the\ndouble-glazed units themselves fail. The seal corrodes and moisture gets\nbetween the two panes of glass, causing cloudiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing the whole window is unnecessary\nand expensive. Replacing just the glass won\u2019t damage your d\u00e9cor, is cheaper,\nand less wasteful. The work can be done from the inside and is quicker than\nfitting entire new window frames. If you have one cloudy window and they are\nall the same age, there will be more that need replacing once you start\nlooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Replace Carpets with Laminate Flooring<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Replace
Replace Carpets with Laminate Flooring<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Carpets are totally unhygienic, everywhere.\nEven if you have them cleaned, anyone buying your house will feel the need to\nrip them up because they can never be certain that all your dirt has gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rip them up and replace them with low-cost\nlaminate flooring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laminate is easy to clean and looks clean<\/strong>. It is quick to\ninstall and looks and wears better than vinyl. There are hundreds of different\nstyles to choose from but go for one that is bland and that no-one can take\noffence at, and get the same colour all through the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Insulate the Loft<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Insulate
Insulate the Loft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BER values are an important contributor to\nyour house value. You probably already have some loft insulation, but almost\ncertainly less than the currently recommended 270mm (27cm or nearly 11 inches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an easy but uncomfortable job to do\nyourself, so it might make sense to get a professional in. A professional\ninstaller will explain all your alternatives and the advantages and\ndisadvantages of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also get to sort out all the years\nof junk that you have thrown through the loft access door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Hire Professional Cleaners<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hire
Hire Professional Cleaners<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve seen the reality shows on TV where\npeople delight in finding imperfections in B&B bedrooms, well, if you are\nselling your house, you are on the receiving end of that level of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody wants to live with someone else\u2019s\ndirt. If you are selling your home, invest in a professional cleaning service\nto get the job done right. A pro comes to your home with fresh eyes and sees\nthings you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave this job until you have finished\ngetting workmen in to make any other necessary improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Do You Start?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your home is the largest investment you\nwill ever make. But living is a messy business. There will always be repairs\nand improvements to do to maximise its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Some jobs cost less than\nothers, so do those first while you get funds together for the bigger jobs.<\/li>
  • Get the outside jobs done\nfirst. Potential buyers will only look inside if they like the look of the\noutside.<\/li>
  • Think DIY where you can. No\nneed to engage a pro designer. Just keep things simple.<\/li>
  • Only get an estate agent in\nonce you have the house and garden ready for viewing,<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
