Increase Your Home's Value & Kerb Appeal.

The aesthetic look of your home plays a massive role in the value, even though it’s your home you’ve got to remember it’s a product you are trying to sell.
 
Let’s say you were going to buy a second hand car –

​The first car you went to view was spotlessly clean, as soon as you pulled up you noticed how clean it was with the paint work just been polished and the inside dash board all shiny with vacuumed carpets smelling nice and fresh, your first thoughts are the owner has looked after the car.

​Then the second car you go to view has all mud down the sides, with messy carpets and looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for the last 5 years. 

WHICH CAR WOULD YOU CHOOSE????
 
Even though the second car could be the much better car mechanically you would be much more inclined to buy the first car you went to view just due to the car been cleaner.
 
Well what's different with your home????
