We are experts in helping people just like you find the home of their dreams, but you are the only real expert when it comes to seeing the personal potential of the homes we show to you.

We can help you to see how you can change potential properties to reflect your personal taste but without necessarily having to undergo major alterations. Here are some ideas.

Pass the Paint

Your choice of property can be instantly updated with the minimum amount of effort and money by simply adding a lick of paint to the front door, living room walls, woodwork or kitchen cabinets. Even DIY novices can usually manage to apply a new colour or two, meaning that this is one of the easiest and most affordable ways of revamping or refreshing a room – or a whole house.

Upcycle Furniture

If you don’t think that your existing furniture will fit into your new pad, then don’t worry that you will have to borrow more money than you want to just to kit it out. Search the internet for inspiration, and before long you could be transforming an old bed frame into a bench or a cot into a desk.

It is also a good idea to be open-minded about where you can put your existing furniture, and don’t be put off by the thought of ringing the changes. After all, is it really worth losing a great property just because your old sofa will have to fit in the dining room rather than the lounge?

Spruce Up the Garden

Sorting out the garden can instantly add to the kerb appeal of a property and doesn’t have to be more extravagant than pulling out some weeds, cutting back bushes and mowing the lawn.

Personalise the Space

Have we shown you a property with more rooms than you really need? If so, consider what that spare space can be used for to enhance your new home. How about turning an unwanted dining room into an office or transforming a spare bedroom to create a perfectly proportioned home gym?

Colour Your Opinion

Do not be put off by peeling paint and clashing colours. Think how rooms can be transformed with the use of your favourite colour scheme, materials and accessories. Don’t shy away from what could be your perfect home when issues can be solved with a fabulous pair of curtains or a spectacular feature wall. During viewings, think about the accessories and furnishings you already own and imagine how they could fit into your new home. Before you know it, you’ll be moving in – in your mind at least.
