There are many upgrades you can opt for in your home to add value. Every homeowner will want a substantial appreciation of the resale value, even if one doesn’t intend to sell the property anytime soon. However, not everyone can opt for expensive upgrades. Changing the roof or the flooring of the house can be costly. Fortunately, there are many budget ways to add value to your property.
• Let us start with one of the cheapest avenues you can opt for. Change the light fittings including the lights in your home. You can choose LED. You may go for recessed lights. You can have pendants or even chandeliers. There are many state of the art lighting options that would not cost a fortune but will have a desired impact on the value of your home.
• Think of upgrading your parking. You may have a garage or you may use off street parking. You can upgrade the garage door, change the façade, you can get a shade if you don’t have one and you can make changes to your driveway.
• Flooring is expensive but not floor coverings. You can get laminates, carpets, fresh coat of staining if you have wooden floors or you can get natural stones polished. You may also opt for laminates for walls at appropriate places or you can have wallpapers if you want.
• Kitchen appliances are usually expensive. You may not want to upgrade your kitchen infrastructure but consider changing the back splashes, getting a new countertop or perhaps redesign the kitchen to have more space and to make it much more pleasing. You can always get a new coat of paint and some new tiles.
• A fresh coat of paint is always effective when you have to add value to your property. Paint the whole house, interiors and exteriors. If the interiors are in relatively impeccable condition, then paint the exteriors. The external curb appeal plays a significant role in value appreciation of any property.
• Check your bathroom and see if you can do anything with the fixtures or fittings. You may change the plumbing fixtures, just the visible fittings and not the piping. You may get a new mirror for the bathroom, a heated towel rail or some luxury amenities that don’t necessarily cost a lot.
• Work on landscaping, if you have a lawn, the entrance and the porch to enhance the curb appeal. There are many ingenious ways to deck them up without spending much money.
