New doors, cabinets, handles and worktops can be replaced by spending very little. Special focus should be placed on storage options and high quality worktops.
Flooring – Installing the right flooring boosts property value. If you have carpets, you can replace them with wooden flooring with a durable factory finish to give your home a luxurious feel.
Energy Efficiency – Converting the home to an eco-friendly place is the smartest thing to do in today’s time. It not only adds value to your home but also saves money in the long run.
Bathroom – A new stylish toilet can significantly increase the value of your home. Make sure the bathrooms are environment friendly, built with good quality fixtures and accessories that stand out.
