Simple Home Improvements

A recent survey conducted by Lloyds TSB Insurance found that in a hope to increase the value of their property, ten per cent of home owners carried out home improvement. According to estate agents, this tactic usually proves profitable.

Updating and modernising the interior to improve the appearance of your property, without making any large structural or layout changes can add up to five per cent to the value of your home.

If you can bring your d?cor into the 21st century, update any dated or broken furniture, create a usable and attractive garden and fix broken guttering and leaky roof tiles, you will earn more in property value than the works cost you to do.

The simplest and cheapest ways to add value to your property, without having to spend a fortune on doing the work revolve around improving its appearance. Contrary to the well-known saying, a house, like a book is judged by its cover, so your home should make people want to walk through the front door.

Repair and restore your roof to its former glory, clean, mend and unclog and give your garage door a lick of paint. Your drive way should also be clear of weeds and oil stains.

If you are blessed with outdoor space, don't let it become a complete waste of space. A garden should be tidy and welcoming, complete with attractive garden furniture and plants.

No matter how easy it is to repaint or change the wallpaper,people will not buy a property if the paint in the lounge was the wrong colour, or the wallpaper was circa 1969. So keep d?cor neutral and understated.

Windows should also be dressed. If you can't afford stylish wooden blinds or heavy curtains, drapes and sheers work well to soften lighting and add elegant and understated style.

Flooring is another make or break factor when buying a property. Wood flooring has been the fashion du jour of the decade, but not everyone has impeccable floor boards under the carpet. An easy way to liven up a dull old carpet or making scruffy floor boards less intimidating is to invest in a bright and stylish rug. You can add colour and style without the cost of re-carpeting.
