In the last two years, the gap between asking and selling prices of homes increased from 2.8% to 3.3%, which equates to a loss of around £10,000. Although in some instances this is down to over-optimistic house sellers, often it's a result of people rushing to sell their homes without making any effort to improve the value of their property.
Although it may seem counterintuitive to spend whilst preparing for a costly move, renovating your home can actually generate a larger profit once you sell. We've come up with five ways to make your home more appealing to prospective buyers, so you can up the asking price and enjoy some extra cash in the long-run.
Signs of rising damp are a big red flag for prospective buyers, whilst cracks in the wall could see them running a mile. From a lick of paint to the interior walls to fixing structural issues like subsidence and damp, ensuring your property is in top condition before you sell is vital. It's worth checking that your wiring, plumbing and central heating are in good working order too. At the right price, a fully functioning and safe home will sell much faster than one with risky underlying issues.
Whilst some buyers might be looking for a 'project', walking into an outdated kitchen with tired old cabinets or an ageing bathroom with mouldy grouting can be a real turn off. If you can't afford to fully refurbish your kitchen, why not swap old cabinet doors and handles for modern replacements, or update the lighting arrangement with a contemporary design using spotlights and down lighting? In the bathroom simply replace the faucets, regrout the tiles and of course, get the Marigolds on and give it a thorough clean.
Adding an extension or conservatory to your home can hugely increase the value of your property, adding between £10,000 and £30,000 or more to the valuation. For some people, the cost of construction may be too costly, however, there are more affordable ways to remodel your home. You could knock through walls to create an open plan feel- just make sure you meet with an architect or structural engineer before you start wielding a sledgehammer. For an even more low-cost option, add fitted storage to bedrooms and living areas to optimise alcoves and awkward corners.
A well-kept garden is often the clincher for prospective buyers, so it's time to put on your garden gloves and get pruning. Along with trimming the hedges and neatening up the lawn, you should pressure wash the patio and place some potted plants in any empty areas. You could also swap tired metal fences for sturdier replacements and fill in any gaps in the foliage with colourful flowers and plants. Another top tip is to add a secure shed or another outside storage unit; this will impress keen gardeners who need to store equipment outside.
Adding high-quality roof and wall coating will improve the overall kerb appeal of your home. It'll make it look fresh and new, without the cost of re-painting. The first picture a buyer sees on an estate agent's website is usually a home's facade, and peeling paint or faded tiles is not a good look. Not only will coating improve the appearance of your home, but it also has other benefits which will appeal to prospective buyers. Coating has weatherproofing qualities, adds an extra layer of insulation and offers long-lasting protection for any property.
While you may be able to carry out some of these jobs yourself, roof and wall coating requires a specialist hand. Here at Kingdom Coatings, we can restore your roof and exterior walls using premium waterproof coatings that will enhance the functionality of your property and entice prospective buyers to make the right offer. Get in touch with us today and find out how we can increase the value of your home.
Excellent all round service. Very professional and meticulous job. Neighbours extremely impressed with the look of our house - (night & day!!) So impressed with everything - great job - Brian & Scott are great workers - thank you.
From the initial contact with Peter the surveyor to Barry and Bob who carried out the work I had complete confidence that the workmanship would be of a high standard. I was not disappointed.
It was a pleasure to have 2 workmen arriving bright & cheery every morning at the specified time. Ryan & Martin were very professional and kept us informed at every stage. Nothing was any bother for them. We would certainly recommend them and your company to family and friends. Passers by have actually commented on the quality of the work.
As far as can be seen at the moment we are extremely pleased with all we have had done. It will take a little time to adjust to it all and see how it wears. We trust that all will be well and the warranty will cover all. Your 2 workmen are a real credit to your company.
Brian and Scott went well over what I expected and were so willing to help me out over anything I asked. If I ever were to get Kingdom Coatings to do additional work, I would ask for them. Thank you.
A very professional company who know exactly what is required to produce a top class job. Their staff are equally professional and work unsupervised to give the client exactly what they are looking for.
The workers explained what was required before starting, making sure we understood the work that was to be carried out. They showed much respect to us as customers. Overall delighted with the work and attitude to those of us who are older and in need of guidance.
A very pleasant experience with NO hassle whatsoever. We are extremely delighted with the finished job and would highly recommend Kingdom Coatings.
Great staff, they just came and got on with the job. No messing about. Very hard working. The lady in the office was great at keeping us informed with what was happening. Overall a good experience. (Walls)
The installers were hard working and polite with a sense of humour. Management and office staff could not be faulted either for going out their way to provide a safe service.
The two men were very polite and have done a great job. You hear so many stories about companies who come to your door trying to sell you things. From Mandy who came to give us a quote to the two lads who did the job, cannot fault them. Very professional.
We have found the service from your company to be of a very high standard and would advise anyone we know to use your company. Both men were extremely polite and helpful. Thank you.
From start to finish we have been very happy with the hard work Brian and Scott have been involved in. Nothing has been a bother to them, and Dave and I have been very impressed that they were always asking if we were happy with the results and indeed we are. (Walls)
I have been well satisfied with the way that the whole job has been tackled and I'm very pleased with the end results.
Professional, pleasant workers. Work was carried out efficiently with no delay during the process. Clean – up of surroundings, driveway, windows etc very good. Overall I'm completely satisfied.
I’m extremely pleased with the work carried out at my house. Greg and Barry are an excellent team. They worked hard the day my roof was cleaned – the weather was baltic but it didn’t phase them. A job well done indeed.
A very hard working team who worked extremely hard and did a great job. They kept me informed at regular intervals during their visits. A thoroughly professional service. Well done!
Very professional, there was no pressure in their approach and their operatives showed their experience and always explained what they were doing and when such an activity was to be carried out.
Extremely pleased. Colour a little lighter than I expected but makes a huge difference to our property. We will recommend Kingdom Coatings to others.
I am extremely satisfied with the way and manner that your personnel showed in carrying out their work. Will only be too happy to recommend your company to anybody that enquires. (Walls)
