The kitchen
Often known as the heart of the home, the kitchen is an important space for prospective homebuyers to imagine themselves in. Make sure yours is clean and clear, with clutter hidden away in cupboards so that you can accentuate it’s more impressive features like worktops, splashbacks and built-in appliances.If you have the budget it could also be worthwhile upgrading any tired features, freshen up the paint and potentially look at replacing any tired doors or handles. If you’re looking to make more of an impact, a full kitchen refurbishment could add between 5-10% to the value of your home.
The outside
Outdoor space is popular with most home buyers, though an un-kempt outdoor space can put a lot of people off making an offer. Adding some potted plants, mowing the lawn and clearing away debris are great ways to tidy up the garden at a low cost. If you have some extra cash, installing lights and creating an inviting seating area can help create an outdoor oasis that buyers won't be able to resist. Refurbing the garden/outdoor space has the potential to add 10% to the value of the property.The bathroom

If your bathroom needs a refresh, some low-cost-big-impact ideas include replacing mastic, deep cleaning tiles and replacing shower screens.
