According to the experts, most house hunters make up their minds about a property within the first 10 seconds. For some, it’s even quicker. The majority of people base their decision on a property’s kerb appeal - if a home looks attractive and well-maintained, people are more likely to fall in love with it and more likely to put in an offer.
Even if you’re not planning on selling your property, maintaining its exterior can help to boost its value and keep your investment safe. What’s more, giving your home some TLC now will help to prevent maintenance issues in the future and could save you money in the long run.
Enhanced Kerb Appeal
A full exterior refurbishment can significantly improve your home’s kerb appeal. Freshly cleaned and repaired walls, renovated windows and a bright, shiny roof will give your home a whole new look, bringing its exterior right up to date and making it far more attractive to potential buyers and passers-by.
Higher Market Value
Carrying out a full house refurbishment is very likely to increase the value of your home. Potential buyers will appreciate the fact that your property’s exterior is in great condition. Not only does this make it more attractive and demonstrate that the home has been well looked after, it also tells house hunters that maintenance issues have been properly managed, something that’s very appealing to potential new owners.
Because a full house refurbishment can add significantly to the value of your property, it will provide a great return on your investment when it comes time to sell.
Give Your Property A Competitive Edge
In a busy and highly competitive housing market, your property may need a little something extra to attract the highest offers. If you refurbish UPVC windows, renovate walls and give your roof a little TLC, it will help your home stand out from the crowd, and potentially lead to a quicker sale.
Protection From The Elements
While enhancing the look of your home is of course important, especially if you plan to sell, protecting it from the harsh Scottish weather is even more essential. Investing in a roof tile refurbishment, exterior wall renovation and other improvements will help to shield your home from the elements, extend its lifespan and prevent weather related damage that can put buyers off.
Energy Efficient Windows And Doors
Installing new windows and doors will cut out draughts, stop heat escaping from your home and make your property more energy efficient. As well as helping you to reduce your bills and do your bit for the environment, new windows and doors will transform the look of your home, making it more attractive and, in turn, more valuable.
Improved Safety
Poorly maintained exteriors can pose a risk to health and safety. If a tile falls from your roof or part of your fascia collapses, it could do a lot of damage and potentially injure a passer-by. Addressing any structural issues that are affecting your home will make it safe for you, your family and the people who walk by your property every day.
