If you are looking to sell your home or remortgage it in the future it is important that you can gain maximum value at that precise moment in time. As a homeowner there are a range of things that you can do to ensure that your house retains its value, and that it grows over time as you live there. Here, we take a look at a few simple tips to help:
Look after the Property Exterior – Curb appeal is a massive part of the valuation of a property. It is the first thing that a person valuing your home, or a potential buyer will see. If you are planning on a complete revamp, think about how it will impact on your neighbours and surrounding area (does it fit in with the style of the neighbourhood), as well as how it fits with the interior and the rest of your home. Keep well-cleaned windows and doors and a pleasant front garden if you have one.
A Quick Spring Clean – If you do have visitors entering your home always make sure that it is as clean as possible. You’ll have warning, or know that there is a period of time where potential buyers could be visiting. Clear away clutter, dust around, and clean away dirt and grime. It’s a good habit for your own day-to-day life satisfaction as well as adding to the potential value of your home.
Make Sure Everything is Above Board – Look at the finer detail of your home and ensure that if anything is broken, fix it as soon as possible. Maker sure all the locks on the doors and windows are in full working order, that the windows are cleaned, all lights are working properly, and anything else you can think of that might otherwise be overlooked and jeopardise a potential sale or valuation.
