Quick and cheap ways to increase the value of your home.

Quick and cheap ways to increase the value of your home.

Everyone wants their home to be worth as much as possible. There are small changes you can make, that are almost cost free, that will increase the value almost instantly. Regardless of whether you’re looking to move now or at some point in the future it’s a good idea to consider the below and do the work now. It can only be a good thing.

Cleanliness 🧼🧽
It sounds obvious, but a clean home is much more appealing to viewers. Go beyond a quick vacuum—deep clean before valuations, especially around tile grout and kitchen/bathroom sealant. These small details stand out and show you care for your home. Regular deep cleans also help maintain your property long-term.

Dated Decor 🎨
Outdated decor can hurt your home’s appeal. Peeling wallpaper, faded paint, or scuffed woodwork suggests extra work for buyers. A weekend spent freshening up walls and trim can make a big difference in both interest and valuation.

Declutter 📦🗂️
A clutter-free home feels more spacious and organized. Too much stuff can make buyers think your home lacks storage—or worse, space. Pack away extras in boxes or baskets, and consider donating to charity. Let your home, not your stuff, do the talking.

Overgrown Gardens 🌿✂️
Messy gardens look smaller and can feel like a big job to viewers. Tidy up hedges, flower beds, and lawns to make your outdoor space feel larger and more inviting. Keep it maintained year-round to make future touch-ups easier.

When it comes to selling your home, first impressions matter — and not just your own. According to new research from Churchill Home Insurance, unattractive or poorly maintained neighbouring properties can reduce the value of your home by an average of 16%, or £42,880.
