Doors
This is literally and metaphorically the
portal to your home. Obviously a door needs to be in the style of the home, but
changing a door can not be put in a list of inexpensive things. One quick fix is
to make the door's hardware up to date. Handles, knockers/buzzers and
even putting potted plants near the door can improve a potential buyer’s first
impression.
Windows
Old, single-glazed windows or ones that
do not fit the style of the home can massively reduce how much people want to
buy, especially with single glazing as it instantly gives alarm bells about
their potential heating bills when winter comes.
A quick fix for the heating problem is to
install temporary insulation covers over the window, which acts like
double glazing, along with draft excluding strips to stop the breeze from coming in,
but this will make your home even less appealing to sell as it will look like a
bodged job to avoid getting real windows.
While it may not be inexpensive,
the value added by installing proper, double glazing windows will outweigh the
cost. UPVC windows from Anglian Home offer a good range of
options for everyone.
Repaint
A new coat of paint in your home can add
thousands to your property and make it much more appealing to buyers
if you pick the right colors. For competent DIYers, there is not even the
cost of hiring a painter if you have the time to take off. For everyone else,
it can be from a few hundred to a couple of thousands to fully repaint a
house.
Neutralise
This would not add any value to your home, but
it makes sense if you are serious about selling. Quirky layouts, your day to
day mess and other things that are more exclusive to you probably would not be
appealing to anyone else.
Unfortunately, these stick in the mind of
people viewing the property as they often could not envision what
the house would look like without everything they do not want. For that reason, try to make your house as
neutral as possible to appeal to more buyers.
Garage
space
For most homes, the garage is a space to
store lawnmowers, unused furniture and ladders rather than their intended use of
a car. A misused garage is quite literally a waste of space and money, so
consider making a use for it.
Even if you do not have the budget to fully insulate and convert it into a conventional room,
consider ways it can have a practical use in the home other than a really big,
cold box. The quick-fix of a garage space may not add value to the home, but it
will show people that the room has potential, so hopefully make you sell it
quicker.
