Some ways you can add value to your property today

As a London-based real estate blogger Ahmed Nashaat makes constant observations on the property market, he has also been exposed to the ways by which a certain property can add more value to it. He shares a few ideas in this blog post, which can be helpful to property owners looking to sell.

1. Beautify it

As with most anything, when you beautify your property, it commands a higher price. A fresh coat of paint can make your several-years-old-house look new and relevant. Applying some landscaping elements to your lawn can really make it look fresh and authentic to the senses, which can surely catch the interest of prospecting buyers, shares Ahmed Nashaat of London.

2. Add more space

Another thing that makes properties more attractive is the availability of more space. Some houses are built to maximize the breadth and width of the actual parcel of land where the property is located, making things seem a little too boxed in or cramped. On the other hand, having available space for a playground or a home garden breaks the monotony of a house, giving another lifestyle dimension to any home.

3. Level up with technology

Nowadays, many houses still haven’t adapted to the latest available technologies that turn homes into more convenient places to live in, notes London resident Ahmed Nashaat. You can ask for a higher price when your home has a CCTV system installed, for instance. The previously mentioned landscaped lawn can increase the total property value when you have some automatic sprinklers on it to help with the upkeep. It’s especially important if you equip your house to be more environmentally friendly by using LED lighting to lower the cost of electricity.
