 Tips To

The Va lue  of 
 Your Home
So, you are going to purchase your dream home 
and decided  to sell the current one. Well, you have 
to do some  preparations first in order to sell your 
home at a valuable  price. Usually, you have to 
because that dream house with a  spacious garden 
does not really fit within your budget. ‘Save  a little 
more’, is usually the message you get when it turns 
out  that you are too short of money to pay for 
your own dream  home with a driveway. Getting 
your investment to pay off is  also quite feasible if 
you take a few smart measures into  account. We 
list the best ideas for you!
1. A lick of 
paint
It may sound too good to be true, 
but to  boost the value (and look) of 
your home, a  fresh coat of paint on 
the walls can work  wonders. Of 
course, you don’t have to limit  
yourself to the interior walls.
Just like with a first date, 
everything  stands or falls on the 
first impression. So,  it’s not a 
foolish idea to give the facades a  
makeover as well. Have your 
facade  cleaned by a professional 
firm or paint the  whole lot from 
head to toe in a fresh color.
2. New 
kitchen
That old-fashioned kitchen from 
the 80s  with oak doors that were 
hidden away  between four dark 
walls? Have a look to  see if the 
one wall that connects to your  
living room is not a supporting 
wall. If not:  throw it out and the 
chance that you will  let the lady 
of the house dream of living in  it.
A completely new kitchen is, of 
course, not  a bargain. No budget? 
No worries. Again,  you can count 
on the paintbrush to make  
everything look spring-fresh again. 
Wow  effect assured and budget-
wise not a man  overboard.
3. Bathroom 
Update
After the kitchen, there is another 
room  that people turn off 
enormously and which  has an 
unmistakable effect on the price:  
the bathroom. What could be more  
daunting when you visit a house 
than a  completely decrepit 
bathroom? That  yellowish shower 
curtain doesn’t make  you feel like 
taking a quiet bath with some  
candles around it, right?
Also, break out those old, cracked 
tiles  together. For a few hundred 
dollars, you  can give your 
bathroom a new look: a  clean 
shower screen, new furniture and  
shiny tiles. The wellness content 
soars, just  like the value of your 
home.
4. Lost 
spaces
That attic where you never set 
foot,  couldn’t it be converted into 
an extra  room? No investment 
pays off more than  creating extra 
space. The figures speak for  
themselves: an extra bedroom 
quickly  makes a home 4% more 
expensive. You  see: many little 
ones make one big.
5. Tackle The 
Garden
The easiest solution is also the nicest: 
put  on those overalls, get a rake and 
get to  work until your garden looks 
like the one  in the books. That is to 
say no weeds on  the terrace; the 
grass is nicely mowed,  freshly 
scented flowers and some hedges  
that guarantee sufficient privacy.
The trick is to make potential buyers 
 dream – they should be able to see  
themselves sitting on that terrace, in 
the  sun, with a glass of rosé before a 
meal.
Another green solution to increase 
your  home value is to invest in solar 
panels. We  can already hear you 
arguing: the cost  price is not out of 
the question, and the  subsidies are 
being scaled back. All true,  but it is 
and remains a good investment.
Certainly, because the price of solar 
panels  has taken a serious dip in 
recent years, and  the efficiency has 
increased significantly.
6. Solar 
Panels
The advantage of solar panels is 
that you  earn back the purchase 
price fairly quickly.  Those future 
buyers know that they will  be able 
to reduce their electricity costs  
enormously.
7. The Little 
Ones
Sometimes it’s in the small details. 
How do  you give a modern touch 
to your home  without spending too 
much? Very simple:  by taking care 
of the little details. Door  handles, 
handles or switches from decades  
ago? Replacing those things takes 
neither  time nor effort – at most, 
some skill with a  screwdriver.
8. Let There be 
Light
Last but not least: light! Some of 
the best  things don’t cost a lot, 
and light is one of  them. I can’t 
believe what you can achieve  by 
controlling the light. Don’t panic; 
you  don’t have to break out all the 
walls and  put large windows 
everywhere. The right  lighting can 
immediately create a  wonderfully 
spacious feeling. A few  cleverly 
designed lamps immediately give  
the potential buyers the feeling that 
they  are already at home. Smart, 
easy and  inexpensive.
You see: you absolutely do not need to make any heavy investments to boost the 
added value of your  home in the short term. Play it smart, and before you know it, 
your house is sold, which brings you one  step closer to your own dream home. If you
