5 Top Tips for Increasing the Value of Your Home

Property for sale

For some people, buying a home, working on it and then selling it is the primary goal to keep upgrading homes.
Whether you choose to re-decorate or re-model the property, a renovation of your home can help to keep the ball rolling towards enabling you to secure a profit on your next house sale. Whilst many people complete renovations on their family home, some people even buy up multiple homes at once to transform.

If you’re hoping to make a profit and increase the value of your property, here are five top tips for your success.

1. Build a Modular Extension

Modular extensions are becoming the modern solution to a lengthy construction process for families wanting to expand their space to accommodate additional children or the need for more living space.

Companies like Vita Modular offer bespoke modular extensions that are built off-site, and transported and installed with minimal mess and disruption to your everyday living.

Whether you want to opt for a rear, wrap around or first floor extension, Vita Modular will endeavour to match your home’s aesthetic and make the most of all your unusable space to turn it into something remarkable for your family.

2. Consider Changing Your Home Layout

It can be easy to miss your home’s potential if your rooms have had the same layouts for years.

Why not change your furniture layout, purchase some rugs, or hang some different art on the walls?

This may help you to cultivate extra space, or make a smaller room seem deceptively larger. You can also use mirrors from retailers like Dunelm to reflect light and make rooms seem larger.

3. Create an En-suite

En-suite bathrooms are in high demand, especially for parents who crave bathtime away from masses of plastic toys and baby shampoo!

En-suite bathrooms can add significant value to your home, especially if it has been recently updated or renovated. If you have an ageing bathroom, it may be time to update it in order to catch a potential buyer’s eye.

4. Landscape Your Garden

Gardens are also in high demand for growing families to provide a place for children to play and thrive.

By landscaping your garden and adding flowerbeds, paths, or even a pond, you are selling the idea of a scenic oasis away from busy everyday life. You could even install some vegetable patches, and places to grow pots of herbs, a greenhouse or install swings or a play frame for children.

Gardening centres like Dobbies offer a wide selection of vibrant plants, pots and water features to make your garden thrive and bloom just in time to sell.

5. Renovate Your Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the home, and the place where friends and family come together to share stories and eat together.

You can renovate your kitchen by replacing old worktops and cupboards, or go a step further and remove walls to create an open plan kitchen and dining area for maximum connection with loved ones.

Open plan living is also great for helping to spread heat around your home, especially if you have a wood burning stove or open fire.
