If you are planning to sell your home and want to increase its market value, it may be worth knowing a few small steps that you can take to increase the value of the property and increase the amount you may get for it.
In an article published by the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, writer Diana Arastia says that introducing some minor repairs to the house - which does not cost much - will give this property a new and attractive look.
"There are many small businesses and repairs that are not expensive or require investment, and at the same time will bring big profits to the home owner when selling," says Maiti Fernandez, real estate architect.
