TOP TEN Ten ways to add value to your home When it comes to selling your home, it needs to stand out from the competition. 1. Replace splashback Sometimes making one major change in the kitchen is enough to lift the whole room, so if you don’t want to mess with the cabinetry, cast an objective eye over the splashback as it’s a way to inject some personality into the room without going over the top. 2. Refresh with paint Painting the interior can lift the mood of your house and it’s inexpensive if you’re willing to do the work. 3. Update flooring Getting carpets cleaned can make a huge amount of difference to the look (and smell) of a home, so calling in the professionals is well worth considering. 4. Quick kitchen fixes New cupboard doors and handles update a kitchen in a budget-friendly way. 5. Makeover the bathroom A new toilet gives the impression of cleanliness and a new sink and taps can also help turn an ordinary or tired bathroom into something more modern. 6. Change the light switches Often, it’s the details that count and standard white light switches tend to look yellow over time. 7. Rethink window treatments Get the glass sparkling, check latches are working correctly and contact a glazier if any panes are cracked or need replacing. 8. Revamp the entrance Painting the front door in a strong colour, such as red or blue, updating doorway furniture and the entrance mat, you’re sending a message that your home is up-to-date and well maintained before anyone even crosses the threshold. 9. Fit new taps If the bathroom and kitchen are basically in good shape but just in need of a little updating, look at the taps. 10. Update the garden After a general tidy up, look at any gaps in planting that need to be dealt with. If you’re putting the house up for sale, gather reasonably established potted plants to fill up these holes as you can take them with you when you go. #hockingstuart #realestate #melbourne #melbre #property #investment #auction #forsale #buy #sell #rent #sold #topten
