Chatting to The Express, the team at Your Overseas Home listed nine “cheap but clever” ways to “improve any house” without spending a lot of money.

Touch up scratches

The experts said: “You know when you moved that wardrobe two years ago and it marked the upstairs wall?

”It’s time to remedy that scratch with a stain-filled touch-up marker or for deeper marks, invest in some polyester filler before adding a fresh coat of paint.”

Deep clean stainless steel sinks

Bathrooms and kitchens are some of the most important rooms for potential buyers interested in your property – and seeing them unkept can be a deal-breaker.

Fortunately, keeping them clean is also easy and here the industry pros recommended picking up a stainless steel solution for as little as £3 for scrubbing on fixings and handles.

“Don’t forget your showerhead either – descaling tablets are cheap as chips and work wonders in minutes.”

Paint exterior woodwork

“Restore exterior woodwork like fences, gates, and window and door frames to their original brilliance by touching up unsightly blemishes with a fresh lick of paint. 

“It’s cheap and easy to do, but it will make a huge difference and improve your home’s curb appeal straight away.”

Upgrade wall sockets to include USB

Not only are USB ports perfect for effortless charging, they’ll also automatically make any space look tidier.

This is perfect for homes with excessive cables or extension leads in more noticeable areas, such as by the sofa in the living room.

Clean carpets

Listing their recommendations, the gurus noted:  “Old and worn carpets don’t look great to prospective buyers.

”If you don’t have a carpet cleaner of your own, you can often hire one from your local supermarket for as little as £30 a day.”

Install energy-efficient lighting

“A simple way of making rooms appear lighter include giving your windows a really deep clean to allow more light into the house, and installing bright, energy efficient lights.

”This will also appeal to the sustainably-minded buyer.”

Add a fresh coat of paint

A fresh coat of neutral paint can do wonders for any home and can even create the illusion of a larger space.

According to the pros, making a home appear larger is an easy and inexpensive way to increase its value.

Pay attention to security

The experts said: “If somebody who is viewing your home doesn’t feel that it is safe and secure, it could put them off making an offer. To prevent this from happening, consider installing extra security measures to add value to your home. 

“This can be as simple as replacing old locks or installing a chain on the front door, security cameras, or automatic light sensors.”

Freshen up grout

To make the grout sparkle like brand new, create a mixture of bicarbonate of soda, water and vinegar, rubbing it with an old toothbrush.

They added: “This method costs pennies but could make it look like it has been freshly re-grouted.

You can also buy grout pens at the hardware store for as little as £4 which do the job (but don’t always last as long).”
