The properties have a value that is determined mainly by the square meters, the area in which it is, the years of construction, number of bedrooms, if it has a garden etc. Once acquired, those things do not really change. But we can add value (and perception) to our home with some details. Some more expensive than others but it is worth making the list and taking them into account.
FLAT. The apartment gives a value to the house, believe me. My apartment was sold to me with carpet (I hate it) and I would have paid a little more for a stave or parquet. The floor can last a lifetime if it is of good quality and is well taken care of.
BATHROOM. A classic bathroom furniture (without decorations of the time) and good quality raise a house a lot. They don’t have to be too expensive, but with a medium investment it looks a lot.
CURTAINS. Although it may seem a lie, simple designer curtains, good quality and lucid dress very well.
LAMPS. If you place about 3 strategic lamps (living room, dining room and hallway for example) also simple but beautiful that give indirect lighting, will give an immediate “lifting”.
PAINTING. If the walls are too dirty or yellow it will greatly detract from the look of your house. We always say that the walls are like teeth: nobody likes to look at a yellow and worn smile.
Best of all, you can enjoy all these things while you live there, and that when you show the property, they will see your home with more value than the neighbour’s (even if they are identical). The difference is in the details and of course the cleanliness, but that is to always have and move with it.
It’s funny but most people don’t know specifically why he liked a house, but he knows he liked it. It is unlikely that you will notice a lamp or curtains, but the atmosphere in general will make you feel at ease and you will know that you liked it. That’s the idea.
