Invest In Your Home

Nowadays it is not just about living in the house for decades without renovating it. Today it is all about renovating your home and keeping it updated. After all, you never know if you want to sell it or change it, and if you have kept it updated, then it doesn’t acquire such a profound renovation anymore. Also, an updated house has clearly more value to it. I realized this only after my wife and I had our third child and our home back then became just too small for us. Once we started selling it, we were perplexed about the price because a similar house 50 meters from us was selling for 20% more. At that point, after having visited them and gotten some good pieces of advice, I realized that keeping your house in mint condition really does pay off. So, how to make the most of your house’s value? Well, there are few things that raise the value of your home.

First, put some paint on the walls. Freshening up your walls every few years keeps the overall atmosphere fresh. A paint bucket doesn’t cost much and the painting process itself might turn out even fun!

Second, take a critical look at your textiles. Which ones need updating and which ones should be thrown away altogether? Textiles are often crucial when it comes to the “selling look”.

Third, a proper fireplace of good quality always brings the realty price up. When we were selling our last home, we made a decision to replace the old fireplace with a new one. The old one wasn’t looking or working very well for it was once chosen and installed in a hurry. Now we turned to Uunisepät, a Finnish fireplace company, which is known to be of high quality and having superb customer service – and it really was all that.
I have to say that unlike with many renovation workers, the experts at Uunisepät were a pleasure to work with because their schedules and promises always kept. Also, at Uunisepät I found the exact fireplace that suited our room size.

So, do invest in your home regardless of whether you are selling it or keeping it.
