Maximising your property’s value: simple upgrades that pay off

Needing to sell your property can happen at any time, the motivations for selling can vary. Seeking some professional advice early on can help you. Plan and implement a timeline to have the property at its premium best. It is difficult to know what to do and where to spend the money, you may have a budget. Spending money on “big ticket” items might not equate to extra sale dollars.

At Arnold Property we believe street appeal is very important in the marketing strategy. Here are some ideas to consider.

  • Front fencing, remove any “ugly” fencing.
  • Upgrade the old letterbox.
  • Remove excess weeds from lawn.
  • Renovate garden beds, include some brightly coloured flowers
  • High pressure clean paths, driveways and concrete surfaces

Painting

Engaging a licensed painter can be expensive. The property would benefit from repainting any “old fashioned” or peeling paints. Light neutral colours these days are very popular. They create an atmosphere, space and cleanliness.

Upgrading Internals

Removing any “daggy” features such as old light fitting, outdated window furnishing, tapware, door handles on kitchen cupboards and vanities.

Lighting

Any dark areas/rooms should have lighting upgrades, LED globes and fluorescent lighting are wonderful and inexpensive. Spotlight has a wide variety of colourful curtains and drapes.

Flooring

Don’t be afraid to remove the old carpet. It might reveal lovely timber floors. This will give the new owner the option to polish the floorboards or recarpet. Buffing up existing floorboards can sometimes make them look new. Tiled areas can also be professionally cleaned, to make them also look new.

Eco Upgrades

These days more and more people are favouring energy efficient properties. These improvements might include.

  • Dual flush toilets
  • Solar panels
  • Rainwater tanks
  • Insulation
