Buying a house or property is good investment but it doesn’t stop at that. Regular maintenance is necessary to preserve its value. Most homeowners tend to skip these responsibilities. Just as dry cleaning is essential for our clothes or washing of our cars, or repairing your broken gadgets, so is maintenance and renovation to our homes and building structures.
The value of home maintenance is undisputed, whether it is a recently acquired home or one that has been existing for a while as it is capable of decelerating deterioration and a consequent drop in value. While maintenance preserves the status quo of a property, renovation augments existing interior and exterior finishing and furnishing and even makes for extensions;
It is possible to convert a two-bedroom apartment into two units of self-contained apartments, or create additional bedrooms for an existing apartment as long as there is sufficient land for expansion. The most common renovations are creating extra bathrooms and bedrooms, adding new windows, storage room or an outdoor entertainment spot etc.
Home maintenance is a continuous practice for homeowners. It is necessary to adopt a timely maintenance routine. This not only increases the efficiency of your property or functions of the home, but helps to avoid long-term damages, provide the opportunity to make minor upgrades and also attracts buyers should there be a need to sell in the future.
Keeping your home in a good state can often be thought as expensive and quite demanding with internal and external tasks such as safety and security checks e.g., electrical works and wiring, plumbing and drainage, servicing HVAC systems, fixing broken doors, squeaking cabinets, tiling, fixing cracks on the wall, repairing roof leakages, maintaining wall paints around the home, unclogging gutters, fencing, and other complex damages. However, regular maintenance has the potential of saving you good amount of money that may be required to maintain or renovate after a prolonged period.
