Parking – An Issue?

Are all your cars parked in front of your property? – This is very off-putting to anyone thinking about buying your home. Just because you doesn’t have a garage it doesn’t mean you can’t create some off-street car parking. If there is no way to add to your drive to incorporate a parking lot, you might want to ask your municipal authorities for planning permission to lower the curb on the pavement adjacent to your home. An off-street parking space can add up to 10 percent to the home price.

Swimming Pool/Tennis Court

Consider whether you would like a pool indoors or outside, also look at the position of your home before making the final decision Think about the weather when making your choice, to attract buyers if your climate is colder then look to construct an indoor pool. Even if the pool is heated and has a cover on, if the weather is cold potential purchasers know it is hardly going to get any use, therefore you could find a pool is a negative point. A more favourable decision would be a lovely heated indoor pool, possibly with attractive doors leading out to a decking area; bring the outdoors inside. A potential buyer wants to have fun, so an attractive, warm pool is going to look inviting. Putting in a pool, when completed correctly, is going to be something that will add a nice sum of money to the value of your home, about 10 percent.

If you are going one step further for the luxury market, look at a tennis court; but remember these type of luxuries only fit in a few neighbourhoods. Between 5 and 10 percent increase in home value, is the going rate for adding a court to your home.

Both of these additions serve as an indulgence that you can offer the potential purchaser. Unfortunately these type of additions could make the future buyer base a lot smaller. Once you do manage to sell your home, the price it sells for might be more than you ever dreamt for.

Installing A Waterside Feature

My years of selling Vancouver MLS listings confirmed me one theory. If you are considering a waterside attraction then remember that these ordinarily hold their value. You may find, according to a survey, that it might increase the value by a third, which is fantastic news. I know many of us wish we had a stream or lake in our grounds, unluckily few of us do; although there is nothing stopping us building a pond. When building a pond, don’t forget that the difference between a lake and a pond, is that you should be able to see the bottom, that light should penetrate all the way through. Think about what room you have and what room you want to allocate to a pond, from a simple water feature to a more complex pond with fish and fancy fitments.

Do your research before you even start putting in a pond; the water source, the depth you require and will the water be flowing freely so mosquitoes are avoided are just some items to consider. If built right it will be worth it, but it is one of those renovation tasks best left to the professionals or at least with the help of a skilled tradesperson.
