Your Basket is Empty
Why would you not want to increase the value of your home?
In the UK, the average property price outside of London is £267,500 as of the end of 2024. There’s definitely a lot homeowners do to make that number higher. You don’t even need to be selling to read an article like this. In fact, we’d argue everyone should make little ‘tweakments’ to their home to slowly increase the value.
Below, we’ve found some of the most recommended tips by experts to help you increase the value of your home.
Always focus on the heart of the home. For us, and many experts, that’s the kitchen.
According to experts’ opinions, when shopping for houses, many buyers prioritise modern and functional kitchens. The first step is replacing old-fashioned devices with smart models, like stainless steel refrigerators andAga stoves that are appealing and useful. Maybe replacing the cupboards, painting, and regrouting the floor (if you have tiles) are all great ideas that can help the kitchen look fresh without doing a full renovation.
You could also think about changing the countertops with long-lasting materials, like quartz or granite, for an immediate improvement. Again, you can do this without doing a full kitchen renovation.
The exterior sells—it’s all about that curb appeal.
Begin with the landscape: cut overgrown shrubs, put flower plants, and cover with fresh mulch for a neat look. According to professionals, repainting or power washing is the recommended treatment for removing and making your house look fresh. If you’ve neverpressure-washed the outside of your home, you’ll be amazed at the difference it can make. You can rent pressure washers if you don't want to buy one.
You might also want to change to a bold colour or install contemporary front door hardware. Where you can afford it, update old windows with energy-efficient models that look good and help with improving the energy efficiency of the home.
Updating bathrooms and living spaces within a house can give very good returns. Rainfall showerheads or vessel sinks are some options for sleek modern fixtures that could replace worn-out ones. For a timeless classic style, regrout tiles and paint walls in neutral colours inside the bathroom.
Declutter and let in as much natural light as possible to make living spaces feel open and light. If the old carpets are replaced with wooden or laminated ones, it can help to improve the look and value of a room. Home buyers who love technology would like to see such things as smart thermostats or voice-commanded lighting. While the latter is not usual, in UK homes today,programmable thermostats are increasingly becoming a standard feature.
Enhancing your house’s value does not mean that you have to refurbish it from scratch. These are changes in curb appeal or infrastructural changes that will definitely result in higher pricing for the home, according to experts’ suggestions, at least while also making it worth staying. Do not forget that today’s investment in your house may be profitable tomorrow.
