What brings down property value?
There are many things that could bring down property value. Many of them such as the local area, crime rates, transport links and schooling will be out of your control. However, getting your property in peak condition is crucial for maximising the potential value of your home. Try and view your property as a potential purchaser and remember that the first impression of a property is from the outside. Internally declutter to make it look as spacious as possible.
