If you’re a property investor or a homeowner planning to sell their property, consider making valuable updates before putting your property on the market. Here are some of the changes you can make to a home to ensure you maximise your return on investment.
Open plan kitchen
If there is one room where you can spend and have a good chance of getting a return on your investment, it is the kitchen. For anyone buying a house, this is one room that needs to inspire. By eliminating the walls and joining the living room with the kitchen,this option is cost-efficient and space-friendly. There’s more space and opportunity for interaction in the living spaces as well as more natural light.
Updated bathrooms
A bathroom equipped with new fixtures and beautiful components will add to a home’s selling price. A remodeled bathroom also provides homeowners with increased utility that they can enjoy. For example, the addition of a bathtub, laundry appliances, water and energy-saving appliances and smart lighting.
Fresh flooring
Don’t underestimate flooring when it comes to giving a property a much needed overhaul. Areas with high foot traffic could benefit from a fresh carpet or an entirely new and much more durable flooring.
Curb appeal
Buyers will almost certainly drive by to the front of your property, so you’ll want to ensure you have an impressive curb appeal. Quick, but striking updates you can make include a new house number and letterbox, fresh paint and improved lighting fixtures.You can take it a step further with new fencing and professional landscaping.
Period feature restoration
If you’re looking to add value to an older property, it’s worth looking into its history. Ask your builder to help you determine when the property was built. A period restoration can be costly and take a long time, but you don’t need to restore the entirety of your home. It can be as simple as adding doors that fit the home’s character or choosing vintage-style tiles.
Lifts and extension
Extra space at home is always welcome. Creating an extension means that the square meterage will increase and that the functions of your home are more expanded. Your extension will also give your property the potential of a more functional layout as well as the opportunity to add more rooms, such as a private home office away from the noise and clutter of shared living spaces.
