Research carried out by TileMountain.co.uk showed that there are certain improvements that increase house value no matter where you live. They compared home improvements across three key housing markets: UK, U.S. and Australia. The overarching finding was that a well-maintained property is always high on a potential buyer’s list.
No one really wants to see shoddy finishes or amateur workmanship. Structural issues such as damp, timber rot, insect infestation, broken roofs, wall cracks and leaking roof should be given priority over cosmetics improvements. They will not only lower the value of a property but also put off potential buyers.
The home exterior and garden should always make a great first impression. Small but highly rewarding improvements such as painting the front door, maintaining a neat and well manicured front porch - all help to drive up the value and first impression of your property to potential buyers.
Internally, the most important room across all three markets - UK, U.S. and Australia; is the kitchen. It is the heart of the home and so kitchen remodels are popular across all three markets as well. If a full Kitchen remodel is out of reach, updates to cabinets, and retiling the flow and splash back and practical low cost ways to increase the value of property.
