Many factors play a role. The amount of the investment costs, changes in the residential area, the time factor, etc. What are the best overall consequences to expect?
Are you looking to sell your house or apartment? Naturally, you want to get the highest price possible. The price of a property depends largely on its location. You cannot change that. Therefore, you should consider which factors you can influence positively.
If you come up with good solutions in advance, you will have strong arguments during the sales negotiations and increase the value of your property.
A property not only needs regular maintenance, but also a lot of attention to detail.
Don't waste any space
Does your house have more to offer? Transform your attic into new living space. Set up a gym, a study, or a sauna in the basement. Basement rooms are not generally considered usable space. However, if they are converted for residential purposes, they are. Perhaps you have space for an extension, a conservatory, or even another garage. Modernization is also a new standard for you, and it may delight your loved ones later on when the next generation moves into the house. Any changes you make should be in keeping with the style of your house.
Energy check
An energy check is worthwhile and will help you find out whether energy is being wasted. An energy performance certificate is required if you want to sell your house or apartment. You should therefore seek professional assistance. Energy-efficient renovations not only reduce energy costs in the long term, they are also good for the environment and increase the value of your property. If you look at how energy costs have developed over recent years, you will see that this will be a huge relief for you and will always have a positive effect on the value of your property.
Fit for old age
Make your property barrier-free. Large doors and age-appropriate bathroom fittings, such as walk-in showers, are very popular—and not just with seniors. Once you experience these benefits for yourself, you won't want to be without them. Renovations for senior living are subsidized in all states. Take advantage of subsidies and increase the value of your property at the same time.
A garden paradise
Maintain your garden over the years and create a place to relax. Investing in your garden always pays off. Family gatherings, garden parties, or a good book in the evening sun—who wouldn't want that? The same applies to the balcony of an apartment. Here you can create a place that invites you to take a break and relax. Equipped with seating and beautiful plants, it will immediately catch the eye and be rated higher by prospective buyers than if it is used for drying laundry or as storage space.
First impressions count
Now turn your attention to the exterior appearance. The façade is the calling card of your home. Dirty window frames and windows or porous plaster do not make a good impression. Sometimes all it takes is a little touch-up work and a fresh coat of paint to show your house in its best light. This not only increases the value of your property, but also improves your quality of life. Look forward to coming home. The entrance to your home should also be inviting and make you want to stay.
If you have taken good care of your property and done many of the things listed above, this will definitely have a positive effect on the price of your property. Nevertheless, are you wondering what the best price to ask is? Seek advice from a real estate agent and rely on the experience of an expert. They will be able to advise you on how your property is valued or how its value can be increased.
Is it worth modernizing before selling?
Perhaps you are also wondering whether extensive renovation or conversion work is necessary? How can you show your property to its best advantage, and what small renovations will have a big impact?
Instead of carrying out energy-efficient renovations yourself, you can hire an energy consultant to provide an assessment. They will then draw up a five-year plan with improvement measures and provide information about possible subsidies. This shows what needs to be done or what can be done and gives prospective buyers scope for their own ideas and innovations. This also applies to inquiries with the building authority and checking the development plan: What changes can be made to the house? Can it be demolished and even rebuilt? The answers to these questions are often decisive for prospective buyers.
