British people value outdoorspace! Make your gardenfeel inviting, clean and a

space people would want tospend time in! Think of it asanother room in your houseto maintain. You can add adeck or patio, water feature

or fish pond to create anescape from the busy world

for potential buyers toimagine themselves in!

Don't neglect simple

improvements like tidyingup the lawn, planting some

flowers or sweeping upleaves.

Don't neglect your kerb

appeal either, a fresh coat ofpaint to the exterior of your

home could mean anincrease in value! Something

as simple as a new frontdoor or new fencing could

also go a long way in makinga good first impression!

GARDEN & KERB


Parking is a must for mostbuyers with parking

becoming more and morescarce! Even if your buyers

don't own a vehicle, itsadded value for when their

families or friends comeover to see their brand new

home!

Consider paving part of yourfront yard to create off roadparking. You might have to

apply to have the kerbdropped, but it’s still well

worth investigating.

PARKING


GARAGE & LOFT

Consider converting yourgarage into an extra

reception room to increasethe square footage of your

home!

Garages can also beconverted into great niche

spaces such as homeoffices, play rooms, teen

hang out spaces orentertainment areas!

What about the loft? Most

houses don’t requireplanning permission to

convert the loft and theymake really stunningspaces. Plus, they’re

reported to add up to 20%onto a property’s value.


KITCHEN

There’s nothing moreappealing than a big

welcoming kitchen in whichto cook and entertain. If youonly have time or budget to

convert and upgrade onearea, then definitely

concentrate on the kitchen!

Expanding your home toextend the kitchen to the full

width of your propertymeans a vast amount of

extra space!

Your bathroom should benext priority when it comes

to upgrading, after thekitchen. Replacing taps andtiles are cosmetic changes

that can create a brand newmodern space!

If you're looking for

something a bit morebudget friendly, consider

new paint (yes you can painttiles!) or replacing cabinets

and hardware!


BATHROOM


STRUCTURALINSPECTIONSMake sure you fix any

structural problems beforeyou put your house on the

market. If you can't afford todo anything else then do

this!

If your property is structurallyunsound, buyers are likely to

use this as leverage tonegotiate as they will know

they will have to investmoney upfront fixing those

problems

Adding central heating to aproperty that doesn't already

have it will drastically increaseits value.

It’s considered essential by

many buyers!

turbines or new insolation willappeal to many buyers,

especially young, modernbuyers!

Making your home cheaper to

run will make it stand outfrom other homes buyers are

looking at!

DOUBLE UP!Double glazed windows inyour home is definitely one

of the best ways to add value.

Double glazing is prettymuch a standard in newly

built homes, so having singleglazed puts you at an

immediate disadvantage!
