4 essential renovations to increase the value of your home

It is always a good time to start a new challenge and make some changes, even in your home! There are some home renovations that will help you to give more value to your home and improve your quality of life, or that of the new tenants, if you are considering selling it. There are several types of reforms, some of them that allow us to improve the appearance or style of our home and others, which are not visible to the naked eye, but are equally necessary to keep your home in perfect condition (such as the renovation of the electrical installation or insulation). Below, we show you 4 reforms that will increase the value of your home, and that are worth it!

Eliminate walls and gain space

One of the most effective ways to transform a house is to change the distribution of the rooms. Often, older homes have a structure poorly adapted to current needs, with darker spaces and small and poorly used rooms. To solve this, you can remove some partitions and create larger, brighter and more open spaces.

As you may have seen in other of our articles, we are faithful advocates of natural light and open spaces between several rooms. In this way, you will not only gain space, but also open a range of possibilities to take advantage of this new room. For example, kitchen and dining room, 2 in 1, bright and functional! If you are not convinced by a space without doors, you can also opt for glass.

Renew electrical installation and plumbing

An electrical installation with many years behind it can be the cause of short circuits or blackouts in the home, did you know that? In addition, if it is an old house, it is very possible that it does not meet several current criteria that regulate and optimize energy resources. Fixing this now will save you problems in the future.

With regard to plumbing, your home’s plumbing needs to be checked regularly to correct potential problems and most importantly, to find out if the correct materials are being used. Old plumbing fixtures used galvanized steel or lead and this could be detrimental to your health, as they generate leaks and rust.

Kitchen and bathroom renovation

These are the rooms where you spend the most time and, therefore, the most important for your home. They must be kept clean, in good condition and functional. How many times have you gone to see an apartment for rent or sale and the first thing you noticed was the kitchen? It is one of the rooms that give more value to your home and the reform options are endless, both aesthetically and functionally. You have to review the faucets, flooring, bathroom fixtures, appliances, etc.. And don’t forget the lighting, you will be grateful for it later!

Improving energy efficiency

This will not only benefit you and your savings, but also the environment. There are several aspects that you can modify to improve the energy efficiency of your home, such as installing double-glazed windows with thermal breaks, installing solar panels, using LED lights and improving the insulation of the walls, doors, windows and roof of the house.
