You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on home improvements to make it more appealing. By simply taking the time to maintain your property, you may significantly increase its value and kerb appeal. Of course, there are instances where a small investment can lead to big improvements.

Every Little Bit Counts!

Simple Wins

A significant portion of the exterior of your house is taken up by your garage door. Therefore, a fast brush-off of any cobwebs and removal of any dust and filth might result in a substantial gain. To fully impress potential buyers, pay close attention to the door’s rollers and running tracks as you prepare for a home inspection.

Additional quick wins include concrete verandahs, walkways, and your driveway. One can never resist the fun of pressure washing.

Gutters

Gutters that do their job go unnoticed, but importantly, add to the impression of a well-maintained home. A scoot up the ladder for a quick tidy means rainwater will collect where it’s supposed to – in your tank – and not spill over, leaving your freshly cleaned porches puddle free. A clean of your gutters also means you’re better prepared for possible bushfires.

Furniture

Your outdoor furniture gets a lot of use for barbecues, parties and general good times. A splash of furniture oil on your wooden tables and chairs will give them a lift for summer and keep them in top condition year-round.

First impressions count and your front lawn is the foyer of the home!

Lawns and Gardens

This is where you can truly improve the kerb appeal of your house. A thick, lush lawn looks fantastic and is simple to maintain. The ideal place to start is with a quick and easy facelift. Applying a little magic in the form of ColourGuard Plus will instantly bring life to your lawn. If your grass is starting to appear a little worn out, this inexpensive organic lawn paint will green it up, give it a health boost, and transform your front yard. 

Need a new lawn?

Most potential homebuyers don’t want to put extra money and effort into a property after buying it. Hence, by renovating and enhancing your home to increase its worth, you’re increasing its appeal to potential purchasers. Research shows that a lush, green lawn could improve property values by up 15-20%! This makes installing a new lawn one of the most cost-effective ways to easily add value to your home!

Finishing touches

A front door dressed in a modern colour looks smart and inviting. And while you’ve got your painting gear out you can revitalise your fences, fascia and window frames, too. So cheap for a high-class result!

If you’re not the gardening type, it doesn’t get any easier than this – potted, low-maintenance plants. There are two great benefits to these: an immediate pay-off, plus you can take them with you if you move.

There’s not just a financial gain to a spruce up of your home. Easily seen numbers on your letterbox means you’ll receive the right mail, and pizza when it’s still hot. A buff up also makes it super easy for home buyers to find your address for your open home inspections.

Lastly, some ornamental lighting in your garden beds will really make your handiwork pop, but before you take your sunset shot for Instagram, stand back and appreciate what you’ve achieved: an increase in your home’s value.
