As house prices are at the highest they’ve been for a long time, if you’re looking to sell your house, people want the maximum value they can get for it. There are many ways you can do this, whether it’s building an extension or simply changing a few of the colour schemes. However you want to do it, there are also options on how you want to sell your house. You can use online estate agents or you could do it through a property company. Whichever way you choose to sell, this article will list just some of the ways in which you can increase the value of your house.
Build a Conservatory
This doesn’t mean you should build some cheap extension that looks like it was built by a ten year old. If you do decide that this is the route you want to go down, properly research what size you want and what shape you want. You also need to take into account that the style matches the rest of the house also. A conservatory extension can add anywhere from around 6-7% to the value of your home so it’s a very viable option.
Convert Your Garage
Instead of having a garage, why not convert it into another bedroom for your house? Or you could even convert it into a study or a dining area. It’s common in the modern day and age not to have a garage so knocking it down and erecting a living space will add value to your property. Make sure you get the appropriate planning permission needed if that’s what’s required.
Redo the Kitchen
The kitchen is considered to be the hub of the house and the showpiece. If your kitchen looks old and boring, then your house value will plummet. Consider redoing your kitchen with a modern look and for the most modern of touches, make sure you include a kitchen island, which is great to socialize around and serve or eat off. A new kitchen can add around 4 to 5 percent to the value of your home so make sure you look at this option to improve the value.
If you do just one of these things, you should be increasing the value of your property and earning yourself some extra money in the long run.
