How to Improve your Kerb Appeal

First impressions count, and when it comes to your home, the first thing people see is its exterior. Kerb appeal is how attractive a property's exterior is when viewed from the street. A home with strong kerb appeal is likely to fetch a higher price and attract more potential buyers. Here are some of our top tips on how to improve the kerb appeal of your property!

Upgrade your Front Door:

Your front door is the focal point of your home's exterior. A new front door can drastically improve your kerb appeal. Choose a door that complements the style of your home and adds a pop of colour to create interest.

If you're renovating on a budget, a lick of paint can help bring a wooden door back to life!

Fencing and Railings:

Property External
Fencing and railings can bring a level of privacy and security to your home, but they can also enhance your kerb appeal. Well-maintained fences and railings with a fresh coat of paint can give your home a polished and put-together look. It is also a good idea to replace any broken panels to ensure maximum kerb appeal.

Driveways:

Driveway
A property having a driveway/off-street parking can add huge value to both your home and it's kerb appeal.

A cracked, stained or weed-ridden driveway can detract from the beauty of your home. Power-washing your driveway and giving it a good weeding can give it a fresh new look. If you're able to go the extra mile, consider repaving your driveway for ultimate kerb appeal.

Windows and Frames:

Having clean windows can make a huge difference in your home's appearance. If you're looking for a bigger fix, consider replacing your windows entirely. Not only can this help to improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), but it can also help to improve your home's kerb appeal.


Front Gardens:

Your front garden is the first thing people see when approaching your home. Ensure it's well-maintained by trimming hedges, planting seasonal flowers, mowing the grass and removing any weeds.
