Hi ,

Whether your home needs a face lift or you are considering a refresh to sell it, there are little upgrades you can make that don't cost an arm and a leg.

Don't underestimate the power of small fix-ups like a fresh coat of paint, upgrading door handles, tapware, lighting fixtures or even simply moving your furniture around for better feng shui. Doing minor cosmetic repairs is an ideal step to take. 

If your kitchen or bathroom surfaces are laminate, replacing them with a good quality engineered stone is a very affordable alternative compared to expensive marble or granite, which often aren't as practical due to their porous nature and propensity to stains. Stone benchtops lift the profile of a kitchen or bathroom. 

Another alternative could be instead of replacing outdated cabinetry, sometimes a lick of paint or new handles can do wonders and adds more of a contemporary feel to the space.

In terms of outdoor spaces, make sure your garden is neat and tidy. Throw away any dead plants or consider repainting your front fence or changing your outdoor lighting. This will improve the overall look and feel of your home, not just for potential buyers but for your own lifestyle if the renovations are simply just for you. 

First impressions count. If you're looking to make these changes to sell your home, consider styling or, as we call it, staging your home. Staging your home can help you to make a good first impression. It can transform your home and can highlight the best features to the potential buyer. Staging tasks can involve things like de-cluttering, de-personalising, deep cleaning or any of the small repairs we touched on earlier. Doing this can broaden the appeal of the house and functionality of various rooms, which helps buyers picture themselves living there, ultimately increasing the value of your property.
