Add value to your home during these uncertain times

Whether it’s cleaning or decorating, quick fixes or longer, here’s a guide to making the most of the extra time we have on our hands during these uncertain times and adding value to your home.

De-Clutter

Now is your perfect opportunity to sort out those spaces that become cluttered during hectic day-to-day life. Whether it is the loft, garage, spare room or even just the corner of a room. It will make you feel much better when it is done and also in the long term when you come to market your property, it is a big positive for prospective buyers if there are clean lines and open spaces.

Paint

A lick of paint can instantly transform the look and feel of a room and what’s more, the whole family can get involved so it will keep the kids busy!  Always begin with a clean wall and don’t forget to repair any holes or broken areas. Use masking tape to save floors and windows and prime the walls especially if you’re painting over a darker coloured wall with lighter paint.
Don’t forget the little things like skirting boards, doors and frames!

Freshen up outside space

First impressions count so don’t forget your front and rear spaces. Think about weeding, cleaning windows, painting fences, fresh paint if needed and cleaning tiles.  Scrub or replace old pots and order new plants online. De-grime patio furniture with warm water and washing up liquid and a garden hose or jet wash.

Horton & Senate were very professional, honest and gave us a good valuation for our home. I would recommend Horton & Senate to anyone wishing to sell their home. Genuine people helping you make the right decision for you.

Justyn was amazing from start to finish. We purchased our home through Horton & Senate, Justyn was always available and was always the first person in the chain to have any information on progress. We would highly recommend Horton & Senate for an individual, informative and positive service.

I recently purchased a property through Horton & Senate. Justyn and Emma were very approachable throughout, ensured I was kept up to date with any relevant information. Thank you all at H&S!

Justyn, Emma and Casey were all instrumental in helping us find our first home and they were extremely responsive and supportive all along the way. I am gutted to have not had the opportunity to meet all of the team in person due to COVID but, from our correspondence over the phone, they are really lovely people. Whenever we needed to clarify or chase something, the team was always happy to chase up with the other parties in the chain and help push things along. They also responded to all of our queries consistently within a matter of hours and were also happy to meet our requests when bidding for the property. Working with Horton & Senate was a pleasure from start to finish. Thanks again from Alex & Sophie!
