Whether you are trying to sell your house or whether you want to make improvements to the property it is important to think about giving visitors a good first impression in other words does your property have kerb appeal? If you feel that the answer to this question is no, then there are some simple fixes that can transform the outside of your home.
The first thing to do is to look at your house objectively. If you find this too hard then ask a friend or family member for their opinion. There may be simple ways to improve the appearance of the front of the property without costing the earth which you may not notice especially if you have lived at the property for a while.
Secondly, tackle the little jobs that need doing first such as giving the front door a fresh coat of paint, weeding the front garden or even making the front garden low maintenance by using bark or gravel. These jobs will not take long but can make a huge difference to the overall appearance of the exterior of the property.
Arranging eye-catching plants in pots or using hanging baskets at the front of the property can add interest and colour brightening up any frontage and giving that much desired kerb appeal.
