How to Boost the Value of Your Property with a Patio and More

House prices may go up and down as the economy fluctuates but there are some things you can do to your home to make it more valuable for prospective purchasers. Regardless of whether you want to sell your home and move on now or a few years down the line, here are a few wise investments which will pay you back when you make that decision.

1 – Make an impression on the outside. What is on the outside of your property is almost as important as what is on the inside, particularly when you live somewhere as fabulous as Australia with weather that is designed for outdoor living. A well designed patio area is always a good investment. As well as adding to the landscaping of the garden it increases the living space of your home which is always in high demand. You must also make an effort to tidy up the garden area before any prospective purchasers come around. Prune your bushes and tidy up tangled trees. A tidy, well kept and landscaped outdoor area can help to add value to your home.

2 – Make an entrance. Do not under estimate the value of your front door from the outside and the inside. Most people searching for a property know instinctively when they approach and walk through the front door whether it is what they are looking for – you only get one chance to make a first impression so you should make sure it is a great one. Make sure that the door is brightly painted, that the doorbell works and that everything around is clean, tidy and inviting.

3 – Make sure that everything is generally tidy. When they are viewing a house people look for tell tale signs about whether a property has been well maintained and cared for, so make sure that you fix those leaking pipes, replace the broken down pipes, repair any leaking windows and insulate the attic. This all helps to create the best impression for prospective purchasers.

4 – De-clutter and create a feeling of space. A house that has a sense of space and flow is more appealing to purchasers. Whether this entails knocking down a non structural wall, removing some items of furniture or just generally de-cluttering your home, do it. This is another way that a patio can really help to add value – helping to increase the living space of your property.
