Investing in a Fence for Your House Can Make it Sell for More
If you’re about to put your home on the market, you’ll know that when it comes to closing the deal, appearances are everything. Prospective buyers will be examining your house with an eagle-eye, taking in every last detail, and it’s important to ensure that they’re impressed by what they see!
According to research, most buyers make their mind up whether they want to buy a house or not within only a few seconds of arriving at the property. This means that a substantial part of their decision is made based on the exterior.
Is Your Home’s Exterior Looking Good?
There are a variety of things you can do to ensure that your home’s exterior is looking good. Repainting any cracked or peeling paintwork is imperative. So too is treating any parched, blistering woodwork. Fix any cracked paving slabs and make sure your front garden is well tended.
However, if you want to give your prospective buyers the ‘wow’ factor, a smart fence is the best approach. Here’s what an attractive fence for your property will say to your buyers:
1) Expensive. An aluminum fence creates the sense that your house is worth a lot of money – after all, you’re protecting it with a really attractive fence! This will send out a powerful message to your buyers that they’re investing in a property that really is worth every cent.
2) Protection. A fence also creates the impression of security. This is particularly appealing to families with children, or even to those with pets. It means that they can let their children run around without worrying about their safety. It means they’ve got less to fear from intruders at night. This is a really appealing prospect when buying a house.
3) Character. A wooden or aluminum fence can provide a property with character too – which is especially useful if your house isn’t the most visually attractive of buildings! When combined with some artfully positioned shrubs, it can turn even the dullest of houses into a charming home.
