Home improvement can be a smart activity for the new year, according to TV property expert Sarah Beeny. For those looking to sell a house, this will create an advantage as people start to look to buy. It is also a sensible option for those who put off moving due to high house prices, as work can make a home feel new as well as adding value to it. Beeny also advises buyers to consider the whole cost of moving before committing, and that first-time buyers should save as much as possible in advance.
Key Takeaways:
- More people look for properties at the start of the new year, making it a good time to sell your home.
- House prices are expected to rise modestly through 2017
- Improving one’s home may be beneficial if one wants to sell their house, or even if not, since improvements can raise the value of a house and also negate the desire to move house
“The end of the year and beginning of a new one are often times for contemplation, so it’s when many people decide they’d like to move and begin the big search, making it the perfect time to sell.”
