One thing that people are always keen to know is how to add value to their home. There are nearly endless ways to do that, so in this article, I will just focus on one area: the home’s exterior.

  1. Clean up the driveway – Buyers like to see a well-maintained driveway meaning easy access to parking areas. Make sure it is well paved or tarmacked and also consider adding some decorative touches. This can include planting flowers along the edges.
  2. Add outdoor lighting – This will make sure your home doesn’t look gloomy for evening showings. It also adds security and means buyers know they won’t have to stumble around in the dark to enter.
  3. Repaint the front door – This is a big part of the visual appeal of your property. Remember to pick a colour that the majority of people will like.
  4. Do some work on the backyard – This can range from full-blown to landscape to just spending some time to tidy up beds and mow the lawn.
