3 Home Improvements That Can End Up Decreasing The Value Of Your Home
Before you commit to doing any home improvement project yourself, or employing someone to do it for you, it’s important that what you have planned will definitely increase your home’s current valuation.
There’s no point in doing anything that won’t have a positive effect on its value, and could potentially reduce its sellability.
If you want some up-to-date ideas of how you can enhance your home and boost its sale price, have a read of our blog post about 2021’s home trends here.
Be very cautious about doing any of the following projects, as they have been known to negatively impact the cost of houses:
Losing one of your bedrooms
Your home may once have been fully occupied, but because someone has now left, you have a spare bedroom lying empty that isn’t being put to use.
Knocking through this bedroom to extend another area of the house may come into your thoughts, but we’d advise against this idea.
Permanently reducing the number of bedrooms you have could prove a mistake as turning e.g. a 4-bed house into a 3-bed house very rarely works out in your favour, financially.
Doing too much re-carpeting
You’re always right to replace any worn out carpets in your living space, but re-carpeting everywhere isn’t necessarily the best move unless you can consider carpet cleaning fort myers as the best choice to do the work.
Some buyers won’t like carpeting, or will prefer a mix of flooring throughout a house, rather than wall-to-wall carpeting. If there is a tough stain in yur caroet you can get people from carpet cleaning pittsburgh to help cleaning it from your carpet.
According to carpet cleaning services, having too much carpet could be off-putting to them as they know it will cost them a lot of money to have it removed and replaced with something more to their taste. So try and just re-carpet sparingly, as and when it’s really needed. Or, if you’re planning to use it, it is best to get them cleaned by carpet cleaning in Humble and spread them where ever you need!
Getting rid of a garden lawn
There’s a real urge for garden space amongst house buyers after the pandemic, so think again about having your lawn taken out as it provides a connection to nature.
We know that maintaining a lawn with the help of some mosquito treatment services, can be time-consuming, but it is always worth it in the long run. When well-manicured and well looked after, it can be a major selling-point.
If you are determined to ditch it, just swap it for an artificial lawn instead, which will look just as authentic and need zero upkeep.
