If you’re looking to sell your home or just improve its curb appeal, an expert has shared seven ways to do just that. The team at Pergolux UK shared tips on increasing the value of your home such as improved parking, smart home features, and a fresh coat of paint.
Spring is considered the best time to buy and sell a house, with Sam Stevens from Pergolux UK saying: “Lots of homes seem to go on the market during spring making it a great time to buy. “For those looking to sell it may seem like you’re better off putting your house on the market at a quieter time of the year but the truth is, not many people are looking to move in the winter months. That’s why this time of the year is great to get started on projects that will increase the value of your home. Things like upgraded kitchens, extra living space and parking are all things that can add value.
“Buyers should also familiarise themselves with the features that can increase the value of a home. Understanding the upgrades they can make means a smart investment.”
Pergolux UK suggested sprucing up the front of your house by jetwashing the drive, cleaning the door number and adding some greenery or lights to make the place look well-kept.
They also said to undergo an extension or conversion to create more space. Spaces that can be used for home gyms or offices increase value, as do designated spaces to congregate outside such as a veranda.
In a similar vein, taking care of any outdoor space is also recommended. Neat planting and a tidy lawn in a garden or a driveway with an electric vehicle charger can all make your home more appealing.
Smart home features such as heating, lighting, and security make a home more modern and tech-savvy. Buyers who prioritise convenience, energy efficiency and safety will pay more when these features are pre-installed.
Pergolux UK also suggested upgrading the kitchen and bathroom to increase value. Upgrading taps and fixtures, giving it a fresh coat of paint, updating appliances, deep cleaning tiles and screens, and adding decorative touches all improve appeal.
