Thinking of selling? How renovations maximise sales outcomes

Selling a property can be a daunting process. As a smart property owner, you want to maximise your sale price and attract potential buyers quickly. However, navigating the fast-moving Australian property market and understanding what improvements will yield the highest returns can be challenging. Many sellers face the common predicament of deciding whether to renovate before selling and, if so, which renovations will offer the best return on investment.

The solution lies in making smart and strategic renovation choices. By making well-planned updates, you can significantly boost your property’s appeal and, ultimately, its market value. Renovations don’t just enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home; they also address any potential buyer’s concerns about maintenance and repairs, providing peace of mind and an incentive to make a higher offer. But how can you fund these renovations without dipping into your savings or disrupting your financial plans? This is where bridging finance comes into play.

Understanding bridging finance

Bridging finance is a type of short-term loan designed to bridge the gap between buying a new property and selling your existing one. With Funding’s bridging loan, you can unlock the equity in your current property to fund renovations, ensuring that you can make necessary improvements without financial strain. This innovative solution allows you to take advantage of your property’s value and invest in renovations that can significantly increase your selling price.

The benefits of renovating before selling

Enhancing curb appeal

First impressions matter. The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers see. Investing in landscaping, painting, and exterior repairs can drastically improve your home’s curb appeal, making it more inviting and increasing its market value.

Modernising the kitchen and bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms are often the most scrutinised rooms in a home. Upgrading these spaces can yield substantial returns. Consider new fixtures, modern appliances, and fresh tiling to make these areas shine.

Adding space and functionality

Open floor plans and additional living spaces are highly desirable. Knocking down non-structural walls to create an open plan living area or converting unused spaces into functional rooms can attract buyers looking for modern, spacious homes.
