5 things that will add value to your home if you decide to sell

Whether you’re looking to sell now or in the future, it’s not uncommon to update items in your kitchen to keep your space looking fresh. And while you don’t want to over capitalise, there are some must-have kitchen appliances that can increase its value.  

Benchtop 

A new benchtop can instantly transform your kitchen. And as one of the main surfaces in your home, it’s something a buyer is likely to notice (if you decide to sell) too. Whether you’re replacing an old one or installing a new material, think about how your new benchtop fits with your space, how durable it is and how it might look to a prospective purchaser. Some common materials include laminate and engineered stone, which are easier to clean, while timber benchtops look and feel natural.  

Oven 

Have you ever inspected a home, opened the oven and turned up your nose? Chances are a potential buyer will too. Ovens are an essential in any kitchen – and if yours has seen better days, or is losing its efficiency, it may be worth investing in a new one. Whether it’s a traditional oven, or a compact or hybrid appliance (which can also be used as a second oven), there a plenty of options for both size and functionality. NEFF’s built-in oven with added steam function has features like the Slide&Hide® disappearing door, CircoTherm®, which lets you bake on up to four levels and a pyrolytic function that is self-cleaning for your convenience. 

Dishwasher 

In today’s day and age, the dishwasher is an essential appliance in the home. And when buying a new property, it’s one of the first things people will look for in a kitchen. The convenience of a dishwasher just makes life that little bit easier – especially if you invest in a good quality one. And with so many shapes, sizes and finishes to choose from nowadays – including free-standing, semi-integrated and fully integrated, you’re guaranteed to find one for your space. If you’re in the market for a new one, NEFF’s semi-integrated dishwasher fits seamlessly into your cabinetry to give a clean and finished look, but has a control pad on the outside for maximum functionality. Here’s a video where we look into dishwashers and which one is right for you. 

Splashback 

Splashback trends change as fast as seasons so while you might not be able to keep up, there’s a value in investing in one that’s classy, practical and likely to withstand the test of time. Two of the most common materials are tiles and glass. Tiles are easy to clean and can be tessellated or arranged to make a focal point of your space, while glass can be coloured or installed in front of a print or picture. And if put together well, a nice splashback can elevate your kitchen or be made into a feature. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s functional for your cooking needs, too. 

Induction cooktop   

When it comes to the longevity of your kitchen, and your home’s resale potential, induction cooktops have real benefits – especially when compared to gas. They heat up instantly and can boil a pot of water in four minutes. And with no flame or metal burner platers, they’re easy to clean too. So, whether you (or a potential buyer) are a home chef or just like an efficient kitchen, induction cooktops are a useful, and increasingly common, inclusion. With NEFF’s induction cooktop you have the added bonus of being able to place your pots or pans anyway on the surface and the cooktop will heat up accordingly. How’s that for efficient?  

So, whether you’re updating to sell now or in the future, making some small yet smart upgrades can help in the long run. Need more help on what or where to buy kitchen appliances?
