Using insight from our estate agents in Romford, as well as market trends and search terms, here are just some of the inside and outside features that buyers are looking for.
Interior features that buyers are looking for
The range of interior features that buyers are coveting and searching the market for span both practical details and more aesthetic features, with large windows and rooms remaining up there as among one of the most coveted structural details.Alongside the desire for large windows, buyers are also more inclined to seek out windows which are fitted with double glazing, as well as other insulating properties throughout the home – helping them to minimise their energy bills.
Ensuite bathrooms remain popular among buyers, as does an open plan kitchen with an island or breakfast bar installation to maximise access to worktop space and dining space.
Finally, more buyers than ever are interested in properties which lend themselves to inside-outside living – that is, properties which open out into garden spaces, with patios for outdoor furnishings, and with a mixed approach to living spaces during the summer months.
Exterior features that will help to sell your property
Moving towards the outside of your property, one of the most coveted features of any property regardless of its size or location is off-street parking. Combining convenience with the practical benefits of having a guaranteed parking space, off-street parking is a must for many buyers with young children or who have access needs.Having a garden is another feature that is often considered a must-have for buyers, with the availability of an outside building, shed, or even summerhouse elevating the status of a property (especially since the Covid-19 pandemic when everyone worked from home).
The other feature worth noting, and one which is becoming increasingly more common and more popular, is the installation of heat pumps and solar panels – items which help to ensure a home is more sustainability and environmentally friendly. While not cheap, these features help to streamline the running costs of a home in the long run.
