If you’re looking to sell your house, then you might find that you can get a little bit more for it with the help of a little preparation and improvement. In some cases, you might find that you can get a lot more!
Optimising the value of your home before a sale is often a matter of taking a few simple steps. Let’s take a look at some of the more obvious ones.
Choose a modern fitted wardrobe
Having the right storage solutions in your home will allow you to clear space elsewhere. Get it right, and you’ll end up with a home that’s clear and spacious throughout – because all of that clutter will have been neatly stowed away.
A fitted storage solution like a modern fitted wardrobe will allow you to get the best possible use from the available space. This goes especially if the building comes with a lot of sloping ceilings and awkward nooks.
Replace your doors
Both your interior and exterior doors will have a big impact on the appeal of your property. The front door will allow you to make a great first impression on buyers, and the internal doors will help to tie the home together. Installing new doors is something that you can do yourself – but be aware that you might need to make small adjustments, so some basic woodworking experience might be worth having.
Invest in Solar
Solar panels can constitute a fairly major investment – but they can recoup their value over time, even if you’re living in a part of the world that doesn’t receive a lot of sunshine (the UK would fall squarely into this category). Since more solar panels are being made than ever before, they’re getting a great deal cheaper and more efficient in the process. So, if you’ve considered making an investment in solar recently, then you might find that it’s more affordable than it was.
Deep clean the house
If your house is a little bit on the dour and grimy side, then you’ll dissuade potential buyers from putting in an offer. In some cases, this effect can be subconscious – meaning that even if they can’t point to any particular blemish, a general atmosphere of dinginess can be an influence. There’s only one solution, here: go through the entire house and clean it thoroughly, from top to bottom.
