Upgrade Your Kitchen

A potential buyer who spends a lot of time in the kitchen won’t want to turn up to a tiny, filthy, boring old kitchen. An attractive looking, hygienic and stylish kitchen is the way forward. This is not only important to potential buyers, but also to surveyors. First think about if you want to make any structural changes, such as making it larger, or adding additional features, then think about where you’ll be able to do this and what extra features you’d like.

If you feel you have lots of space but It just needs a bit of clean up, then change the paint, clean worktops, units, the sink, oven and microwave and everything else in your kitchen, as well as replacing kitchen tiles if needs be. Adequate lighting and an extractor fan to remove cooking smells are also essential.

Aesthetically Pleasing Interior Flooring

The floor Is one of the main things that buyers look at when entering a house. Carpets with stains and dirt can be a big put off, and you won’t be doing yourself any favours by keeping your carpet as it is. Ensure your carpet’s clean and stylish by installing either laminate, tile, hardwood or stone flooring or an aesthetically pleasing luxurious carpet. If your carpet doesn’t look too bad then give it a good wash and hover and fix any bumps or problems in hardwood, stone, tile or laminate flooring – remembering to maintain it.
