Are you planning to sell your home in the near future? We all know that our homes need to look the best if we want to get the asking price. But did you know that the kitchen and bathroom are the top rooms that buyers look for in a property? That’s why it’s important to make sure they’re looking their best.
Keep the kitchen and bathroom to a good standard
At the very least, you should keep your kitchen and bathroom to a good standard so that when prospective buyers come to view your property they can see that they are well maintained. If you’ve got a wobbly cabinet handle or loo seat, get those fixed, and polish up all your surfaces so they look good as new.
Add in the latest technology
As people become more environmentally-conscious, buyers look for eco-friendly solutions in the kitchen and bathroom. Add things like tap aerators and devices that reduce the amount of water used when you flush the toilet. Prospective buyers are keen to have these measures already installed so they don’t need to worry about them when they move in.
If your kitchen and bathroom are old… Redesign
It can seem like a hassle, but if your kitchen and bathroom are old and past their prime the best thing you can do is renovate them. In the kitchen, the current trends are open plan kitchen/diners with lots of natural light, and bathroom trends include waterfall showers and sleek nickel or brass fixtures.
Buyers don’t want to go to the trouble of redesigning the bathroom and kitchen the moment they move in, so renovating these rooms can increase the value of your property by 5%.
