Hi all,
I recently bought a property in WA and would like to add value to create equity. Nothing unusual there. A house down the street from me recently sold for about $135k more and it was on a smaller block but far nicer in its finish. It had a pool and a lovely outdoor area, more modern finishes and better presentation throughout.
I know there is a good amount of areas I can improve in my place although it is already a nice place but my vision in this area is not a strong point for me. I know the usual, paint neutral colours when selling etc and maximise your market but I am not selling, I am looking to increase value so could I get any ideas you are happy to share. I am wide open and ready to accept constructive criticism since I have done no work to the place at all yet and none of the d?cor is my own, so I am fully off the hook here.
I'm told that kerb appeal is a big area to add value and I know that this is a weak area for the house. It needs a good tidy up and some landscaping as at the moment it is very blah and forgettable and almost a turn of for some reason although I can't out my finger on exactly why.
I have not got a budget in mind yet I am simply looking to see where I can get the most bang for my buck.
I cannot easily add photos to this.
