Three Ways to Add Value to Your Home in 2022

 

Is 2022 the year you want to make improvements to your home?

Whether you plan to renovate an old and tired property or you’re considering building a first floor addition on your Sydney property, we take a look at three ways you can add value to your home in 2022.

Upgrade the Exterior of Your Home

Whether you’re planning to sell, or you just want to improve your home, making sure that the exterior is in top condition is key. Check all the main areas, such as the roof, windows and doors and if necessary complete repairs or replacements. Ensuring that your home looks good and doesn’t require any major remedial work outside will not only entice more potential buyers but will ensure that your home remains safe and weather-proof. You will potentially enjoy more energy savings too.

One important house addition that will add value to your Sydney home is an attractive and well-maintained garden. Having easy-to-care-for outdoor spaces will create more kerb appeal and cut down the amount of time you need to spend keeping it looking good.

Create a Granny Annexe

Incorporating a granny flat or granny annexe onto your property has the potential to add value to your home. A granny flat is a secondary dwelling that can be attached or separate from your main residence and is usually completely self-contained, in that it has its own entrance and facilities.

While most homeowners choose to build a granny annexe to provide independent living space for a relative, it can be used to give some independence to older teenagers. Plus, in the current climate, it offers great potential for a home office area.

Whether you have room in your backyard to create a new space or you can extend your house outwards or upwards, it will maximise your space and even give you the potential to earn some money by renting it out.

No wonder it’s one of the most popular home additions in Sydney.

Refresh Kitchens and Bathrooms

There’s no doubt that kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Potential buyers may reject a home if they don’t like the kitchen or bathroom or if they feel that they will need to be replaced. However, there’s no need to rip out your old fixtures and fittings and replace everything with new ones. Some clever refurbishments will go a long way to making these rooms feel fresh and new. Consider painting and adding new handles to kitchen units and replacing taps and other hardware in bathrooms. Changing tiles and flooring can also go a long way to giving your kitchen and bathroom a clean and new look.

If you do want to learn more about renovating your house or adding second floor additions, Sydney based Your Style will be more than happy to help.
