5 Ways to Increase the Value of Your Brisbane Home

If you’re looking to increase the value of your Brisbane home, there are so many options it can be a little daunting to know where to start. From interior and exterior painting to landscaping, renovations and additions, there are many ways to improve your home’s appeal and price. Read on to explore what we think are the five best ways to boost your home’s resale value and create a space that you’ll love for years to come!

1. Paint the Exterior of Your Home

The exterior of your Brisbane home is the first thing that potential buyers will see, so it’s important to make a good first impression. One of the best ways to do this is by painting the outside of your home. A fresh coat of paint can make your home look fresh again, giving the impression that it has been well looked after. A fresh coat of exterior paint can also provide an older house with a more modern look. Not only will it look great, a freshly painted house will also benefit from increased protection from the elements.

One of the many benefits of exterior house painting is that it’s cost effective and makes quite an impact on potential buyers. If you’re thinking about painting the outside of your home, the best way to do so is to hire a professional painter. Painters have the experience and professional tools necessary to tackle even the largest and most complex exterior painting projects. They can also help you choose the right colours and finishes for your home, taking into account factors such as your home’s architectural style and the surrounding landscape. To get some inspiration for your home’s exterior colour scheme, check out our blog post which discusses exterior house colours in Australia.

Professional painters will also ensure that your exterior paint job lasts for years to come. Painting outside is quite different to painting inside a house and involves a lot more knowledge and experience to ensure that your painted finish stays looking great for longer – saving you money in the long term. They can also provide valuable advice on which types of paint are best for your home’s specific needs, such as a paint that can withstand Brisbane’s harsh weather conditions or what will work best for an old Queenslander.

2. Paint the Interior

One of the most rewarding and cost-effective ways to increase the value of your Brisbane home is to repaint the inside of your home. Interior house painting can make your home feel new again, and with correct preparation the imperfections and wear and tear on your walls will be removed. While you can certainly try to tackle an interior painting project yourself, it can be an involved and delicate process. A bad DIY paint job can easily leave your home looking worse than a home which needs a freshen up, while also leaving you out of pocket for the cost of painting supplies (not to mention the time you invested into the project!). Hiring a professional painter can ensure that your paint job is done right the first time.

Professional painters also have the experience and tools necessary to achieve a flawless finish, and can also help you choose the right colours and finishes for your home. They can also help with repairs, such as patching holes or cracks in the walls before painting. To get an idea of what it might cost to paint your home’s interior, check out our recent blog post on the cost to paint the interior of a house in Australia.

Hiring a professional painter can also help you avoid common painting mistakes. For example, professional painters know how to properly prepare surfaces for painting, which can help ensure that the paint adheres properly and lasts for years to come. They can also help you choose the right colours and finishes for your home, and can provide valuable advice on which types of paint are best for different areas of your home.

3. Repair Any Damage To Your Home

If your Brisbane home has any damage, such as cracks in the walls, leaky roofs, or damaged flooring, it’s important to get these issues fixed before you put your home on the market. Not only can these issues make your home less appealing to potential buyers, but they will likely lead to your home being listed at a lower price. When it comes to homes, small problems that are easily repaired can quickly turn into big problems if left unchecked.

When it comes to repairing any damage in your Brisbane home, it’s important to hire a professional contractor who has the experience and skills necessary to do the job right. Professional contractors can assess the damage and provide you with a detailed plan for how to fix it. They can also ensure that all repairs are up to code and meet the highest standards of quality and safety. A dodgy DIY to save a few dollars isn’t worth the possibility of only partially fixing or covering up the issue, leading to more expensive problems down in the future

4. Landscaping

Another great way to boost the value of your Brisbane home is by investing in landscaping. A well-designed and maintained landscape can add curb appeal and make your home more attractive to potential buyers. Consider adding some low-maintenance plants, such as native Australian species, to your yard. You can also add some outdoor features such as a patio or walkway to make your yard more functional and appealing. If you’re not sure where to start, consider getting in touch with a professional landscaper who can help you design, build and maintain the perfect landscape for your home.

When it comes to landscaping, it’s important to strike a balance between form and function. Your landscape should not only look great, but it should also be functional and easy to maintain. Be sure to choose plants and features that are appropriate for your climate and that will thrive in your yard. Proper maintenance is also key to keeping your landscape looking great. Regular watering, pruning, and fertilizing can help keep your plants healthy and looking their best. If you prefer a low maintenance landscape that looks after itself, a landscaper will be able to provide you with just that!

Already have an outdoor area like a deck or patio that functions great but looks a little tired? A coat of new paint or oil is a great way to refresh your outdoor space without having to break the bank!

5. Renovations and Additions To Your Home

Renovating your home can be a great way to increase its value. Updating your kitchen, bathrooms, or adding an extra living space can all make your home better suited to potential buyers. A renovation can also help modernize your home and make it more functional for your family. However, renovations can become expensive and time-consuming, so it’s important to carefully consider which renovations will have the biggest impact on your home’s value.

Kitchens and bathrooms are often the rooms that potential buyers focus on the most, so updating these areas can be a good investment. Adding an extra living space, such as a bedroom or a home office, can also be a great way to increase your home’s value. Another great way to completely change the look of your home is by renovating the flooring of your home. New carpets, tiles or refreshed timber floors can make your home really stand out, especially with the help of a new coat of paint and/or colour scheme.

We recommend engaging a qualified professional to carry out your renovations. Not only are they going to use their knowledge and expertise to ensure your home looks great, they will also ensure the work is completed correctly and safely. A qualified building professional will also be able to guide you through the process of designing a space you will love and manage the project for you so that you aren’t left with a half finished renovation.

Improving Your Property’s Value On A Budget

If you’re hoping to improve your property’s value on a budget, one of the best return on investments is painting the inside and outside of your home. It’s much cheaper to paint your home when compared to both landscaping and renovating even a single room of your home. It’s usually a fairly straightforward process without unforeseen costs that is completed in a short timeframe, giving your home a refreshed and revitalised look without any chance of overcapitalising.

If you’re thinking about painting your own home as a DIY project, ensure that you understand the cost of  doing the work yourself. This includes the amount of time it will take you to prepare the surface, determine the colours, purchase all of the paint and equipment that you will need as well as completing the painting itself. It will more than likely take you at least three times as long as it would take a professional (possibly even more). Not only does hiring a professional painter like Jon Hinde Painting save you the time and hassle of all of this work, painters have the experience and skills necessary to achieve a flawless finish, no matter how complex the project may be. They also have access to high-quality paints and tools, which can help ensure that your paint job lasts for years to come. A bad DIY project can easily make a home look cheap, uncared for and actually lower the value of your home.

Professional painters will take care of all aspects of the painting project, from preparing the surfaces, selecting and purchasing the right paint for the job, through to cleaning up when the job is done. Painters can provide valuable advice on colour selection and finishes, taking into account your home’s architectural style and personal preferences. Overall, hiring a professional painter can help ensure that your paint job is done right, looks great, and lasst for years to come.
