Home improvement projects, renovations, and generally adding to your home can be really good for the value of the property when you go to put it on the market. That being said, projects both big and small can either add value to your home or devalue it. Here are some projects that just about always make your property worth more later on:

Redecorating
Redecorating is the most popular home improvement that will add value to a property. Adding a new layer of paint and fixing all the little defects will really lift the face value of your home. You can either do your redecorating yourself or have a professional come help you do it more efficiently. When potential buyers come to look at your newly spruced-up house, they will get a sense that someone has always been taking care of the place. It may not look good as new, but those little improvements can go a long way. You will want to especially fix things like chipping or peeling paint, dirty walls, dripping taps, mold, squeaks in the doors, stairs and floors, broken bulbs, and any poorly fitted flooring. Anything that might become a larger issue than it is now should be fixed right away. Any unattractive defects should also be taken care of, and it may not even cost that much or take any energy at all.

Replacements

Replacing your old doors can really make a huge visual difference – a lot more than you know. The outside of the house will give the first impression of anyone coming to see it. Make sure your front door looks good and is clean so that the first time any visitors walk into your house is a good time. Although you may not need to replace a door completely, consider adding a fresh coat of paint on it to improve how it looks. Even small changes like a new doorknob or repainting your number plates can make a difference.

 

The Kitchen

The kitchen is often the most important part of the house for some people. You do not need to carry out a complete renovation or replace everything, but as with the rest of your home, little changes can go a long way. A small part of your budget can go to your kitchen for making tiny changes in lighting, cleaning, cupboard handles, and other refreshments. Make sure that your counters are clutter-free and clean to help buyers feel more comfortable with the kitchen, making them more willing to pay a higher price.

 

The Bathroom

You can add a whole new bathroom or just update an old one. Buy a new toilet, sink, or even just do a deep, deep cleaning. Bathrooms can get quite grimy, so be sure to really clean it thoroughly. Maybe even replace the shower curtain or the glass screen. Small fixes like that won’t cost too much but will certainly improve the look of your bathroom.

 

The Backyard

Well-designed and clean landscaping is a great way to add a lot more value to your home. A backyard should be extra space for activities, entertaining, and relaxing. Make sure it is not cluttered and that it looks well maintained. When it comes to your yard, you want to make sure that you leave no rock unturned. Having an outdoor space will be a definite plus for potential buyers and a well-maintained yard will work well in your favor.
