6 ways to add value to your property
  • Lifestyle

Make your home office a haven

Many companies have embraced a hybrid way of working, allowing employees to work from home a few days per week. Therefore, creating an inspiring and inviting workspace in your home, will maximise the appeal of your property to a potential buyer.

A thoughtfully designed space is conducive to greater productivity in the comfort of your home, for yourself and future owners.

Make the outdoors an extension of your home

The way we live has been influenced by the pandemic, and more and more people are making their homes an extension of their lifestyle with warm and welcoming outdoor areas.

Whether that be building a new patio with a built-in braai or revamping a verandah with comfy couches, tables and chairs, outdoor living has become an important aspect for buyers

Make space for wellness

Wellness and self-care, both physically and mentally, has become the antidote to our busy, everyday lives. What could be more desirable and convenient than to enjoy a private space that exudes peace, calm and quiet, right at home?

Spa-like bathrooms, a home gym or a quiet mediation area are all valuable additions for buyers who are looking for an inclusive lifestyle choice.

Make smart home upgrades

Energy-saving and environmentally friendly upgrades are the new and sustainable way forward – not only for the planet but for potential buyers as well, especially in the current load shedding climate.

The number one improvement is quick and easy. Simply install energy efficient LED light bulbs that can be automated and controlled via an app, making a huge difference in how you interact with your home

Kitchens sell properties

The kitchen is the heart of the home, with open plan living areas often forming an integral part of a home’s design. Any improvement to your kitchen, whether big or small, will be worth your while.

By modernising cupboards and countertops, adding a new appliance or updating fittings and flooring, a kitchen upgrade is always a good investment.

Create a year-round entertainment area

Often, by adding or extending an entertainment area, homeowners are able to create extra space in which to entertain or just simply relax. This is one project that can be tailored to your budget and requirements.

From adding functional features such as protection from the weather and sliding doors, to green areas and flat surfaces, you can make your property more desirable
