How to value your property for sale or rent

Although not very common in Brazil, renovation is a very important step before selling a property. With it, the property appreciates (as well as the rent) and can be sold faster, since practicality is one of the main concerns of new buyers.

The ideal is a complete renovation, but just a few adjustments are enough to redesign the rooms and give a new home look. See just some of them!

Painting

It’s one of the main changes. Over time, the walls get dirty and wear out, begging for fresh paint! At this stage, give preference to neutral colors, avoiding very colorful and vibrant palettes.

Don’t forget that the idea is to please as many people as possible, so save your personal taste for your new home.

Floor and grout

Floors and grouts are also points of attention. Small holes must be plugged, and stained floors fixed! If this is not possible and replacement is necessary, choose wooden floors or floors that simulate texture, such as laminate and vinyl.

But it’s important to make it clear that hardwood floors are the best. In addition to greater durability, they also muffle sound better and can be treated to make them look like new.

Wardrobes

The kitchen is one of the main rooms in the house, where we gather family and friends for the best celebrations, and even better if the environment is beautiful and cozy, isn’t it?

As we said at the beginning, the more practical for change the better. Kitchen renovations are a headache, so whoever offers this ready-made part to buyers gets some points in the competition! And don’t forget the golden tip: neutral colors.

Hydraulic

To avoid waste and inconvenience for new residents, the hydraulic part must be revised, from the faucet that keeps dripping to that pipe that leaks from time to time. It is a costly process, but in the long run it will bring enormous benefits.

Electrical installations

To close up, we also separate some general tips to help you:

• Always use quality materials: make a good impression and add value to the property.
• Mirrors enhance the ambiance: they are perfect for those small spaces that have great potential.
• Get the lighting right for each environment: use warm lamps for the living room and bedroom and cold lamps for the kitchen and office.

These are small adjustments, but they can cause some concern. Some companies already offer the consulting service and also the right team for the renovation, with us at Spark Advisers. All designed for your comfort from start to finish of the move!
