If you feel as though your home is not looking as good as it could, or if you want to boost curb appeal, then you have come to the right place.

Here you can find out everything you need to know about the upgrades you should be making to rocket the value of your property while also putting yourself in a position to make a quick sale.

1. Update the Colour

Believe it or not, adding colour to your home will make it appear way more modern. A bright entrance or a new door will add brightness while also adding charm to the interior. You can also have a new garage door installed to match your main front door, as well as adding a resin driveway. Either way, just make sure that whatever shade you choose, is the current trend. That being said, you don’t need to limit yourself to standard colours. Although white or wooden doors were once the norm, pastel colours are making a huge comeback.

2. Put up a Fence

A new fence won’t just increase aesthetic appeal, it will also increase security in your home. Fences should be wood or a similar material, to increase charm.

3. Add a Balcony

Adding a balcony gives people the chance to admire any stunning views your property may have. If you want to make the most out of your balcony, why not make it a glass one? This will give you the modern look and it will also make it much easier for you to make your property more modern and stylish.

4. Manage your Lawn

Lawn care is a fantastic way for you to increase the value of your property. It also helps you to get the overall respect of your neighbours too. If possible, you need to try and water and fertilise your plants. On top of this, you need to improve convenience where possible. this will make it easier for the people who may be investing in your home, to maintain the appeal you have worked so hard to achieve. If you feel as though you need consistency, then why not invest in some kind of irrigation system?

5. Go Green

Enhance your home by adding a rainwater collection system, or even a vegetated roof. Solar panels and solar lighting can also help your home appeal to eco-conscious purchasers.

6. Change your Shingles

At one point, many people avoided dark roofs because they felt as though they had ventilation or even heat issues. If you have a bright home, why not opt for a new roof, with a more neutral feel to add contrast? Lighter asphalt shingles don’t tend to add value as much as darker shingles do, so keep that in mind.

7.  Outdoor Entertainment

Extending or even adding entertainment features to your home is one of the best ways for you to increase your home’s value. Add an outdoor entertainment area with a grill or even a dining area to rocket your exterior appeal.

8. Add some New Lights

Nothing enhances your home like having great lighting. Soft lighting can enhance the design of your home while highlighting trees. Porch lights add a welcoming glow around the entrance of your home too.

9. Decking

Decking is another fantastic way for you to boost your home’s value. It’s easy to maintain, looks great and most of all, is able to withstand any weather condition.

10. Landscaping

If you do have some green space, then why not invest in it and try to make it look great? Rocks, trees, shrubs and plants are all very good options.
