Up-selling a home with DIY

With the property market picking up, homeowners may find now the ideal time to think about selling up.

If you're contemplating putting your property on the market, you may want to embark on some DIY work around the place to maximise your chances of a sale.

The front of your house is the first thing that prospective buyers will see so make sure this aspect of your property is looking its best to make it more enticing.

Why not challenge yourself with some DIY painting and revamp the entranceway of your home?

Ditch plain hues in favour of a bright shade of red, green or even yellow for something that is going to stand out.

When buying a home, most people will more than likely think about how they can use the different spaces. While everyone has their own furniture and style, why not show people how to use the space?

For example, placing a barbecue and outdoor furniture on a deck will not only give the space a purpose, it will make it more appealing and liveable.

Updating the flooring of your home can also make a huge difference - brightening up the place and transforming its look. For a more modern look, why not lay down tiling in place of carpet or wooden floorboards?
