3 budget-friendly ways to add value to your home

Matthew Shaw, Head of Sales at Ultra LEDs, explains: “Improvements which create a sense of space and privacy and give a great first impression will definitely increase value, especially at a time when those selling their homes will need it most.”

“Before you start thinking about putting your home up for sale, it’s worth looking around and making some alterations to give you a better chance of selling for a great price. These changes don’t have to be expensive either, as plenty of small, inexpensive ways make a surprising difference to the value of your home. In addition, you could also speak to a local estate agent or property expert to ask about the features that tend to make the most difference to buyers in your local area.”

Here are three simple but effective (and inexpensive) ways to increase the value of your home from Tom Cain, Technical Engineer at Ultra LEDs:

Lighting is an often overlooked aspect of any space and, when installed correctly, can accentuate a room and bring a living space to life while also adding depth. Add lamps to dark corners to create cosy nooks and bright lighting to show off your home’s features. Regarding increasing interest in the property, viewings should occur during the day, but if a potential buyer is coming later on, you’ll need to ensure all bulbs are working and your home looks good at night. You could even place LED strip lights inside cupboards to add an extra touch of luxury.

Kitchen: you don’t need a brand-new kitchen to increase the value of your home. If you have a small budget, consider replacing cupboard door handles with more modern ones and giving the cupboard doors a lick of paint. Good lighting will also make a difference in this room, so try adding LED strip lights under kitchen units to add a premium and modern look that prospective buyers may be looking for.

Redecorate: adding a lick of paint can be done at a relatively low cost and is a simple way to boost the value of your home, with neutral colours working best when you’re trying to appeal to future buyers. Always remember to remove anything too personal, allowing the buyers to adapt the property to fit their own individual needs. You could also consider adding some plants and revamping the sofa with some new cushions or throws.
