When you decide to sell your home, you must ask yourself the question “how could I add value?”.In this blog, we discuss some of the key improvements that you can make to increase the sale value of your property. Alternatively, our experienced estate agents can offer help and advice to guide you in making decisions on how to increase the sale price of your home.
If you have space that isn’t utilised in your home, it could be lucrative to convert it into a useable space or living area. Loft conversions in particular are highly sought after. Converting your loft into an extra bedroom or office space could add significant value to your home. Another area of your home to consider converting is the garage, as they often contain underutilised space. A house with more living areas is likely to fetch a larger sum when it comes to selling your property in the future.
Parking space can be hard to come by, particularly in city centres. As such, a home with off-road parking is an attractive feature to potential buyers. If you are looking to add more value to your home, then this is one of the areas you should prioritise, if possible. Perhaps you could pave a section of your front garden or at the side of your home to convert it into a functioning driveway.
Kitchens are the focal part of any home and they are one of the main attractions buyers look at when searching for a property to buy. If you have to choose an area of your home to upgrade, then a kitchen may add more impact in terms of increasing the value. If you are looking to sell in the immediate future, consider making minor changes. For example, even a fresh coat of paint could make a difference.
Adding an extra bathroom in your home can go a long way when it comes to increasing its sale value. A downstairs bathroom is a popular feature and doesn’t require masses of space. If there is an area of your home that could be converted into a bathroom, it could be a great way to boost its value and provide a more convenient living space too.
Energy efficiency is a focal point in today’s property market, not only because we are more eco-conscious in general, but also because energy costs are high. Therefore, having energy-efficient features in your home that reduce your energy bills will be likely to increase the value when you come to sell it.
Focusing on these five areas, you could boost the value of your home and fetch more money when you come to sell your property further down the line. At Hearnes, our estate agents can give you tailored advice on how to boost the value of your home, whatever your budget may be.
