4 Ways To Add Value To A Property In 2022

The property market is currently booming, and now thousands of homeowners are embarking on the journey of selling their properties. When selling your home, you want to get the best price possible, and there are some things that you can do to increase the property’s value. This short guide is going to show you how. Whether you choose to bring your loft conversion plans to life or redecorate, there is no denying that there are plenty of things you can do to increase that overall price point.

Redecorate

A fresh coat of paint can be enough to make your home look brand-new and increase its value. Ideally, you want to give prospective buyers a blank canvas. This allows them to envision what they want the house to look like if they buy it. It is best to stick with a neutral colour palette. Avoid going for anything too bold, as this could be off-putting for the buyer. They may struggle to picture the property without the bold colours on the wall. Research some of the most popular paint colours to add value to your home. There is plenty of inspiration online.

Build A Loft Conversion

A loft conversion is a sure-fire way to add value to any property. It creates an additional living space in the home, and the best part is that most of them do not require planning permission. Although they can be a significant upfront cost, the added property value makes it worth it. If you have ideas for your loft conversion and want to make them a reality, Fast Plans are a company that can help. Their bespoke loft conversion drawings can help you get the maximum potential out of your loft space – while working closely within your allocated budget.

Fix Minor Maintenance Issues

If there are any obvious maintenance issues that need addressing, this could decrease the value of your property. Therefore, you must fix them to make the home more appealing to prospective buyers. The fewer maintenance issues there are, the more value you can add to the property. Most homeowners can fix basic issues themselves by following some DIY tutorials. Video streaming sites like YouTube are full of them, and they are free to view. However, anything too complex should be left to a professional. This eliminates the risk of anything going wrong, which could result in a costly mistake.

Add Double Glazing

If you live on a noisy road, you will find that this negatively affects the value of your property. To address this issue head-on and increase the overall value of your home, you should consider installing double glazed windows. Double glazing not only keeps out noise – but also helps the house retain its heat, which will positively influence your energy bills. This will be very attractive to prospective buyers, especially now the price of energy bills is significantly rising around the country. There are plenty of double glazing advice guides that you can refer to online to help you find the right products.
