Property Valuation Increasing Renovations

Many of us see the miraculous transformation of homes and gardens on television by professionals and amateur do-it-yourselfers; it stimulates our creative juices and gets us hyped up, ready to make some changes. But don’t waste your precious time and money – focus only on improvements that will generate the biggest increase in your property valuation.

What Projects Are Key for Increase in Property Valuation?

The best projects for improving your property valuation are, happily, the most affordable and the easiest to do yourself. The biggest one that I am consistently telling people is to clean the house and section space and all clutter removed.

Creating suitable home storage facilities and cleaning and painting the interior and exterior of your house, therefore, are the jobs that top the list of desirable improvements.

The premium projects that usually require professional help are kitchen remodeling first and bathroom remodeling second. These particular upgrades will provide the best return for your money.

Put Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling High on the List

Although remodeling a kitchen seems like a daunting task, a complete overhaul pays great dividends on your property valuation when you sell your home. Purchasing new cabinets and appliances are worthy goals, but you can also make minor changes that will create impact. If you can’t replace the kitchen cabinets, replace the cabinet doors at least. If that is also beyond your means, paint them, and replace the hardware.

It’s not that difficult or expensive to replace an outdated sink, and if you can’t afford a new stove, fridge and dishwasher, don’t hang on to those gold or avocado monstrosities – buy an attractive looking one from TradeMe that are ‘all flash and no cash’.  This will definately have a positive effect on your property valuation.

Property Valuation

There was once a time when this was really cool... Now days this will seriously effect your Property Valuation in a negative way!

Bathroom Remodeling

This is the next most important improvement and the biggest property valuation dividends come from installing a new sink, bathtub, toilet, and shower stall, as well as attractive tiles and custom cabinets.

Again, if you can’t manage a complete makeover, replace the tired old taps, handles and showerhead; add shelves; and paint and redecorate the cabinets.

Other Projects to Consider

After you have decided on and planned for the most important home improvement projects, new window covering and upgraded flooring should be your next point of attention.

Choosing the best modeling and redecorating projects will not only increase the long-term value of your home, the simplest property valuation improvement projects will also provide satisfaction and new energy just from a few alterations. Remember if you are looking to sell, you are not renovating for yourself but your target market. This is very important.
