WAYS TO ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME THIS SUMMER

Back

If you're thinking about selling your property, you're probably wondering how you can add value in the most effective way. The key to adding value is to utilise what you already have and to avoid costly additions that may not bring as much return on investment.
 
Follow this guide to help you boost the value of your home.

Add a parking space

Off-road parking is amongst the top criteria buyers look for when searching for a property and it's becoming less common for properties to have a drive, so adding a parking space is a sure-fire way to bring value to your property.

If you have a front garden, consider converting it to a driveway, or expanding an existing driveway to accommodate an extra car.

Convert your loft

Converting your loft to add an extra bedroom can increase your properties' value by up to 20%!

A conversion costs considerably less than an extension and you usually don't need planning permission, however, make sure you check planners first.

Boost kerb appeal

When it comes to selling a property, first impressions are key - many buyers decide whether they like a property before they have even stepped foot inside.

There are many methods to boosting kerb appeal - consider a fresh coat of paint on your front door, replacing a tired fence, planting some greenery or adding censored lights. Make sure your garden is looking neat and welcoming too.

Invest in solar panels

With more and more buyers becoming eco-conscious, adding solar panels can make your property stand out and add a price premium.

Make sure to research your options thoroughly to ensure you get the best return on investment.
