Complete guide to home renovation - increase your property value

Put my Valencia penthouse as it is and delegate the renovations to the buyer or renovate it before putting it on the market? Definitely both are valid options and opting for one or the other depends on your sales goals and how urgently you want to sell. If you need to get cash as soon as possible and your apartment is generating expenses that you are struggling to meet, selling it as is is the best option. On the other hand, if you are looking to obtain the best possible sale price, your ideal way is the reform, since through it you will revalue your property between fifteen and twenty-five percent. We tell you how to achieve it.

Renovations that will make your property worth 25% more

So, will all the renovations raise the price of your Valencia penthouse by up to 25%? The answer is no. For a renovation to perform to its full potential, it must be absorbed by the market. This means that it is necessary to detect what the current buyer is willing to pay, since starting a series of reforms without proper advice and without a strategy to support it, could lead to losing the invested capital. Let's see then the reforms that currently increase exponentially the value of Valencia apartments.

                Attic painting Valencia

Painting is one of those non-negotiable interventions when selling your home, since walls and ceilings in poor condition generate immediate rejection by potential buyers. Since what we are looking for is to provide the space with the greatest possible neutrality, we will choose a white or ivory tone paint.

                Bathroom and kitchen updates

Another breaking point for today's client is in the bathroom and kitchen. If these look too dated and with cabinets that seem to be crying for help from their silent debacle, the buyer will discard your Valencia penthouse for more updated options.

Therefore, the necessary reforms in these spaces are: change of tiles and floors, replacement of sanitary fixtures and faucets, and replacement of cabinets and closets. If you do not want to go as far as changing the cabinets, an intermediate option is to paint them and change the knobs, since these draw positive attention when they look modern and in excellent condition.

                Change windows for bay windows

In the cases of villas with their respective garden, there are likely to be two problems: that natural light does not reach adequately to all rooms of the house and that the garden can not be appreciated from every corner of the house. We will solve both drawbacks by changing the conventional windows for wide windows and, as far as possible, to the ground.

                Reforms focused on sustainability

We are moving towards mandatory sustainable housing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, all the reforms aimed at ensuring that the house has its own water recycling system, that it maintains the interior temperature for much longer, that it produces energy by means of solar panels and also that the construction materials used are manufactured using environmentally friendly processes, increase the value of any property.

Among all the options that exist in this regard, sustainable openings are the most demanded of all. By means of a double sheet of glass and hermetic enclosure systems to prevent the exchange of interior air with the outside, cool environments are achieved in summer and warm in winter with minimal heating costs.

                Goodbye corridors

 The corridor has become obsolete. Currently, it is one of the biggest stones in the shoe of those who want to sell their attic Valencia with the highest possible profitability, as buyers are intransigent about considering a floor with corridors being that there is an interesting offer of those who no longer have this effective way to waste space.

Consequently, tearing down the partitions that delimit the corridors allows for more spacious and luminous rooms.

                Customize lighting

Interior lighting has become an indisputable added value for those looking to buy a Valencia apartment. Placing powerful and low consumption zenithal lights in strategic places of the house, such as the living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, will give the property that touch of quality that will allow you to stand out from the competition and go beyond the screen when the potential buyer is making the virtual visit from the comfort of your own home.

                Renovate plumbing and electrical

Every potential buyer will greatly appreciate knowing that you will not have to go into the tedious task of chopping walls and destroy the bathroom and kitchen that now look great, to renew what is not seen, but sooner or later begin to generate problems that can not be ignored. An unparalleled advantage of this intervention to your attic Valencia is that it is a reform that always raises the price of your property, as it does not depend on the personal tastes of each inhabitant of the home, so no one will ever stop buying your apartment for it, but on the contrary.

                Removal of carpets

One comment that is never missing from the visits we take our buying clients on is the one that assures them that they will rip out all the carpeting from the Valencia floors they see, and put in floating or ceramic tile floors in its place. Carpet is great...for recreating an eighties feel, but not for presenting a home to our contemporaries. So, unless you plan to sell your penthouse Valencia to a vintage film production company, it is best not to continue losing potential customers because of the unsightly carpet. From our real estate Valencia we recommend you to change it for floors according to our times.

                Placing baseboards

Never underestimate the transformative power that wall baseboards exert on the ambiance of a home. The baseboard gives the visual sensation of completeness. It is true that we are even talking about a placebo effect, since the practical effects of the baseboard are minimal. However, when they are missing, the client immediately perceives that void and adds it to his to-do list, and you can be absolutely sure that each thing that the potential buyer adds to his to-do list will take him one more meter away from your Valencia penthouse.

                Replace interior doors

When interior doors show the effect of prolonged use or are becoming outdated in their designs, they give the home an old and rickety look that undermines the purchase intention of its visitors. So replacing them with more modern ones is a strategy that pays off.
