Selling a home can be time-consuming, expensive and stressful. But, with a few home modifications, the whole process can be made a lot simpler. It turns out that when it comes to buying a property, buyers are looking for a particular set of features. Things like having a property that is well-insulated, as well as one that has a good broadband connection are important. This is what buyers in 2017 are prioritizing when it comes to buying a new home.
Central Heating
Even today, there are some homes that don’t have central heating. Instead, they rely on storage heaters which are expensive and inflexible. Not being able to turn the heating on, as and when you need it, is a massive inconvenience and reduces a family’s quality of life. New home buyers are looking for properties, therefore, that have central heating systems. Central heating systems that are on-demand are good, but those connected to smart meters are even better, giving buyers additional flexibility. idealhome.co.uk suggest that you make sure your heating has been serviced before selling your home.
Double Glazing
If you plan to sell your home for cash (cashclosing.com is a good place to look for this), a great way to increase what you’re offered is to install doubled-glazed, or even triple-glazed windows. Glazing works by taking two sheets of glass and then sucking out all the air in-between to create a vacuum. This vacuum acts as a kind of barrier, stopping the heat in your home from escaping, and keeping household energy bills down. As a result, double-glazing adds value to any home and brings it up to date. It’s also really good for attracting buyers who are eco-conscious.
A Garden
When people buy a home, they don’t just want an empty yard or a stretch of concrete: they want somewhere beautiful that they can enjoy with their family. Remember, a lot of people who come to look around your home will be moving from a flat or apartment with very little or any outdoor space. So any garden you can show off can make a big difference and help facilitate the sale.
You don’t have to go overboard and spend a fortune on making a bespoke garden. A few plant pots and shrubs will do. You need just enough to show potential buyers what they could do with the space if they were to buy your home.
Secure Doors And Windows
Another major consideration when buying a house is security. If your home is in a rough area, then security is a must because of the ever-present risk of opportunistic criminals breaking in and stealing stuff. But it’s also important to have secure windows and doors if you live in an upmarket neighborhood or village. Criminals find out where wealthy people live because they know that if they were to break in, they would find lots of things of value.
Off-Road Parking
Finally, whether or not your house has off road parking can make a big difference to its sale value. Off-road parking, whether on a driveway or a garage helps reduce vehicle crime.
