Why Falling House Prices Mean Renovating Can Be A Really Smart Move
Householders in Brighton who may have been thinking of moving to a new home in the area or even out of the city might have been dismayed by the recent house price news, showing the amount they can sell their house for is falling.
If this is you, there are many things to consider. Of course, you may be able to counterbalance a lower sale price with the fact that the new home you want to buy will also cost less, but this may not always fit with your plans; people might wish to upsize, downsize or go to a different area where general prices are higher or lower than where they live now.
With Halifax being the latest lender to publish survey data showing prices are dropping and Purple Bricks founder Harry Hill recently telling the Mail on Sunday a recession and higher mortgage rates could lower them by as much as 20 per cent, this is clearly a real issue.
This situation means now may be a good time to look at alternatives, such as improving the home you have. Attractive interior design features such as solid window shutters could be a great place to start.
This is not just a way of making your home look more attractive to any prospective buyers viewing it. Home improvements can add value to your home at the very time when it would otherwise fall, ensuring it is of a higher value than when you bought it. Moreover, this kind of improvement is less costly or disruptive than major structural work like an extension or whole new kitchen.
Apart from that, however, a beautiful pair of window shutters can also make your home a more enjoyable place for you to live in. If you decide to stay there longer and wait until the housing market recovers or cancel plans to move altogether, it makes sense to enhance your own living space and make it beautiful, stylish and a joy to experience.
