5 ways to increase the value of your home

Selling your home can be a transformative process, and a way to mark the next chapter of your life.

You’ll likely want to make as much profit as possible from your sale, so ensuring that you make some small but effective changes can mean that you’ll retain, if not grow your profit.

Here are five changes you can make to your home to increase its value before you sell.

1.    Boost Your Kerb Appeal

They say not to judge a book by its cover, but buyers definitely judge a house by its aesthetics. If you want to be able to sell your home for a substantial profit, ensuring that it looks up to scratch is one way to make sure you can ask for an elevated price with a higher likelihood of a successful sale.

To do this, landscaping your garden, painting the front of your house, and ensuring that there are no cracks in any plasterwork or rendering is a good place to start.

You could also replace your doorbell with a Ring doorbell which doubles as a camera and speaker for your deliveries and visitors, making it an excellent alternative to a traditional doorbell.

2.    Refit Your Kitchen

Your kitchen is the heart of your home, so giving it a good refit will enable prospective buyers to envision their family in a settled domestic situation.

When refitting your kitchen, you’ll want to keep the colour scheme neutral so that your kitchen will appear to be bigger, but also give the new family a blank canvas to project their ideas for their home decor.

If you need some kitchen worktop inspiration for your new kitchen, companies like Lawcris offer a huge selection of worktops in a huge range of colours and patterns.

3.    Build Some Decking Outdoors

Decking can be so transformative for your garden or outdoor area, and will add significant value to your home. Adding a raised area to your garden will allow you to have an outdoor eating area for entertaining during the summer, a seating area or place to put a barbecue.

Additionally, decking can also be a great place to put pots of flowers, herbs or fruit and veg that will give your garden a homely feel, even if you don’t have any landscaped areas or even any grass.

For pots and plants, you might want to visit a garden centre like Dobbie’s where you can find a wide variety of different items that will help you grow your plants. From luxury pots to fertiliser, seeds and bulbs, they have everything you need to create a successful and thriving garden.

4.    Remodel Your Bathroom

Bathrooms are another room that form an important impression for potential buyers. A luxurious and well maintained bathroom is a tickbox for many buyers due to the expense of fitting a new one.

A bathroom is also the room in which you can relax and refresh after a long day, so fitting a deep tub, shower and heated towel rails can significantly sway a buyer’s willingness to pay the asking price.
