Home and property specialists have told potential sellers that while the property market is slowing, house sales can be boosted by simple design changes not least in the kitchen.Janet Ringe of housing specialist Poised to Move told the Daily Telegraph that despite price increases slowing from recent highs, a good sale was still possible on the back of some conscientious home improvement efforts.Some home-sellers may imagine that homely lounge areas and bedrooms are the key to convincing buyers, but Ms Ringe said that it was elsewhere that people would perceive the most tell-tale signs.Bathrooms and kitchens give away a homes age and condition so freshen them up new taps perhaps and new cupboard doors on the old carcasses, she told the Telegraph.She said that small makeover style tips like tap changes were preferable to large scale renovation work, which could be off-putting to prospective buyers wishing to impose their own stamp on the property.People looking to spruce up their kitchens in preparation for a sale could find that stylish and compact taps from brands like Gessi and Oliver Haffner are what they need especially when other revamps look more costly.
