C&G’s Guide: Upgrades to Increase your Home’s Value

Tips & Advice

Putting your property on the market? Naturally, you want the best possible return for your most important asset. Upgrades are a rewarding strategy for increasing your home’s market value and attracting more buyers. C&G’s latest blog lists the renovations that will ensure your property stands out.

Kitchen

They’re the ‘heart of a home,’ and often receive the most attention at open inspections. Buyers love seeing sleek and modern appliances that boost functionality and convenience. You should also reconsider your kitchen’s cupboards and pantry, creating more smart storage options if necessary. People enjoy having plenty of space to store their kitchenware while maintaining a minimalistic look.

Bedroom

Bedrooms are great for increasing both rental yield and overall value. If you are lucky enough to have the space to create an extra bedroom, the overall value add to your property can be significant. A key consideration however should be incorporating a built-in robe to the room.

Bathroom

A shiny bathroom is sure to impress buyers. If your budget allows for it, a second bathroom will also attract families that appreciate the extra space. Keep up with popular bathroom trends, and ensure all tiling, plumbing and fixtures are modernised and aesthetic. Water-saving shower systems that optimise hot water bills will also serve as a fantastic selling point. 

Energy-efficient appliances

Your home may look great, but buyers may backtrack if it costs too much to live there. Investing in energy-efficient amenities will impress buyers who are conscious about their environmental footprint and bills. Consider sustainable options when upgrading your electrical appliances, lighting, insulation, and water recycling systems.
