HOW TO BOOST YOUR HOME'S KERB APPEAL

Whether you’re thinking of selling up or not, taking care of your home inside and out gives visitors a warm welcome and a good first impression. Kerb appeal is a must if you do put your property on the market, as many potential buyers make that first judgement within seconds. According to Evolution Money, 93% judge a property based purely on how it looks from the outside, and 30% are happy to pay an extra £5,000 or more for a home with a well-maintained exterior. So, get out there and tidy the garden, repair any broken fences or gates, clean the windows and smarten up the exterior, and you’ll soon be reaping the rewards.
