10 easy ways to increase your home’s value

Boosting the value of your home doesn’t have to involve expensive extensions or a complete kitchen overhaul. Today we look at some simple changes that will set your home apart from others on the market – and get it sold for more.

First step: declutter.

You want the future owners to be able to picture their own belongings in the home and not be distracted by your mess. Sort through all your old clothes, books, magazines, trinkets and toys. Store everything you don’t need on a daily basis out of sight, or give unwanted items to charity.
Buyers love seeing extra space for storage. Add overhead racks and more shelving to your garage, build slide-out storage for kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and attach shelves or hooks to the back of wardrobe doors.

Create extra seating.

Having a second seating area can add instant value to your home. Look indoors for free space for a formal dining setting, or buy an outdoor table to create an additional area for entertaining.
