IMPROVE THE  HOUSE LIGHTING


Natural light is a powerful panacea for the body and good mood, as well as a significant element in choosing a new home to buy. Even an apartment with a modest size takes on a completely different aspect if it has a good exposure and, even better, a splendid view.


For this reason, when it comes to how to increase the value of a property, the suggestion is often to focus on lighting, enhancing (where possible) natural light and making sure that the system is adequate and well functioning.

MAKING YOUR HOME "SMART"


Several surveys on the characteristics of the ideal post-pandemic home have confirmed this: Italians prefer an increasingly smart home. The elements that can increase the value of a home include all those devices that can make the home smart and even more comfortable.


Starting from wi-fi network, now essential for anyone, the provision of home automation systems or security devices such as video surveillance, burglar alarms and smoke detectors represents an absolutely important competitive advantage for those who are preparing to sell the own home.



BET ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY


From the most sensitive to environmental issues to the most attentive to money, potential property buyers are increasingly showing interest in energy efficiency. All other things being equal, the value of a house today can increase dramatically if you choose to set up systems with lower energy consumption or solutions that wink at environmental sustainability.


From solar panels to external insulation, every useful energy saving and environmentally friendly device will help you make your home even more desirable.

REFURBISH EXTERNAL SPACES

Owning a villa with a garden or an independent house with an annex is certainly a point in favor of those who are preparing to sell a property. All provided that you take care of outdoor spaces that can whet the interest of potential buyers.


One of the tips on how to increase the value of a house that should not be overlooked is to refurbish and arrange any open spaces of the property, in order to increase its overall value. Go ahead, therefore, to manicured gardens, tidy terraces and independent mini apartments ready to welcome guests and visits
