Quick and easy ways to increase the value of your property

When you’re about to put your property on the market, you want to make sure it will attract the attention of buyers.

A little attention to detail will help it to stand out from the competition, thereby increasing its appeal and adding to its value.

Say it with paint

A coat of paint throughout the interior will freshen up your property and make it look and smell good to prospective buyers. Avoid the temptation to be adventurous with colours: a neutral shade is the best option.

Dress up your doors

If the cupboard doors and drawers in your property look a little tired, new knobs and handles for all your doors, drawers and cabinets will modernise your rooms and add sparkle to your property.

Revamp your light switches

You’ve probably been flicking themon and off for years without even noticing them, but a newcomer toyour property could find them aged, yellowing and old-fashioned, to put it mildly. An electrician will be needed to replace them, but this is not a costly exercise.

Do up your entrance

Make sure the entrance to your property gives the right message to prospective buyers. If your front door needs painting or replacing, this is not an expensive exercise. Keep fresh flowers on any furniture in theentryway and buy new entrance mats if the current ones look even a little shabby.

Check your windows

Your windows can affect the important first impressions of prospective buyers. Make sure you keep them clean and sparkling, and replace any tired-looking curtains or blinds.

Tap into your bathroom

By fitting modern, attractive taps to replace outdated ones you will enhance its appearance.
