Every investor wants his property to fetch the best returns and it is the ultimate goal of any property investment. Some low cost, moderate cost and high cost options are available to help you achieve this goal and that too within your budget. Let us look at some of these.
If your do not intend to spend a hefty amount on your property but still want it to look attractive to the buyers, the simplest thing you can do is to clean it. A clean and neat looking property casts a good first impression. By just getting a paint job done or some minor repairs done, your property will get a spruced up look. Little things like correct lighting, new mailbox, strategically placed plants, changing small fixtures, de-cluttering etc. can enhance the appeal of the property without burning a hole in your pocket. Make sure to spruce up the garden and the main entrance as it helps in giving a good first impression to the prospective buyer.
If your budget is moderate, you can go in for some minor renovation work. For example a simple room can be given more character by adding a crown moulding or adding a skylight. You can also opt for change in flooring, adding insulation, replacing old doors and windows with new ones depending upon your budget and the demands of the space. In case of large, high-cost property and estates, you can give a complete overhaul to the kitchen and the bathrooms to give it a modern look and feel. Also, opt for fittings, fixtures and materials that require less maintenance. A house that is easy to clean and maintain is preferred by buyers over houses that need constant maintenance.
Most often the security aspect of the property is overlooked by the seller but it matters very much to the buyer. The issue of security is something that is considered by every buyer. So installation of security components like electrified fences, quality alarm and automated gates are recommended.
Installing energy conservation measures and solar panels in the property is another way to enhance its value.
Thus, some little things when kept in mind will surely help you fetch the best deal for your property.
