How to add value to your home

Kerb appeal

The exterior of your house is the first thing a buyer will see. Make a positive first impression with simple changes such as repainting the front of your house (or even just repainting the front door!), tidying up the garden, mowing the lawn if you have one, cleaning your windows, window frames and door, and jet washing your front path or driveway. All this can make a huge difference on how your property is perceived at first glance. If you usually park a car or van in front of your house, you could park it somewhere else when someone is coming for a viewing.

Cosmetic appeal

There are various simple ways to improve the presentation of the interior of your property too. First and foremost, declutter! Allow buyers to more easily visualise the potential of your home by clearing surfaces, packing away everyday clutter and organising storage spaces. If necessary, you could arrange some short-term storage for any excess items. At Perry’s we offer a wide range of storage options, from short to long-term to meet your needs, so let us know if we can help.

Both reducing clutter and brightening up your space can make your rooms appear larger. Neutral colours on the walls, curtains or blinds fully open and mirrors can help. And get all those DIY jobs you’ve been meaning to do for years sorted. For example, fill any cracks in your walls, fix dripping taps and touch up any paintwork that’s looking tired or scuffed.

If you want to go further, some small upgrades can really help to sway a buyer’s decision. You could update or regrout bathroom tiles, replace taps or kitchen worktops, cupboard doors or handles. These are fairly simple changes that can be guaranteed to lift how a room looks, and they’ll also be an investment in achieving the best sale price possible.

Once you’ve secured the best price for your home, we would love to help you move into your new one. Contact us today on 0800 211 8030 or email our team on mail@perryremovals.com
