5 Kitchen updates that can up the value of your Property

Take a look around your kitchen. What would you do to make it work better for you? All those things that come to mind are likely what a buyer would be looking for in any home that they view. If you intend to sell your home in the near future, you’ll probably need to make a few changes that will boost its value. These adjustments don't always have to be complex or expensive - as long as they improve the way the space can be used.

Start with a plan. You need a clear direction of where you are heading with your updates and renovations. You will need to do a little homework before you start planning, for example, your budget and price range of properties in your area. You don’t want to make your home unaffordable but at the same time, you want it to be attractive to potential buyers. Ideally, you want practical and pretty at a great price.

In this blog, we focus on five of the top updates you can make to your kitchen, which up the entire property’s value.

#1: Install modern cupboard units for neat storage

Looking to score value points through kitchen storage? Storage is a great element to focus on. Everyone needs sufficient storage space and it is something potential buyers will look out for. It allows you to add to the room’s visual appeal while keeping it functional.

#2: Change the layout to free up the flow of foot traffic

Sometimes we get accustomed to moving around obstructions that complicate things that should be simple. Changing the layout in favour of a seamless flow improves the use of space, making the most of its potential.

#3: A fresh coat of paint on walls and standing structures

If the kitchen operates well but looks a little drab, you should consider a fresh coat of paint. It can either be the same colour or a new one. This reflects natural light well and brings life into the room.

#4: Focus on the finer details

It’s easy to miss the finer details, but they can really make all the difference. Switching out old taps, door handles and electric switches for new ones (or even just cleaning or polishing them) can refine the entire look. And don’t underestimate the effect a tile backsplash can have on a room, it can really tie your theme together beautifully.

#5: Incorporating smart technology into the room

Most people already have smartphones, but smart homes are rapidly becoming all the rage in the property world. Get appliances with smart software to make the kitchen - and home at large - easy to run. Potential buyers will love this!
While you’re on a mission to make your house more sellable, you have to keep in mind that both function and style count to potential buyers. You’ll want to capture their attention with aesthetics, do so by making the changes useful. If you need help improving the value for money in your kitchen, you’re at the right place.
