The arrival of summer and the end-of-year vacations are the right time to remodel the spaces within our home, making changes to the home can improve the perception of the place and even stimulate moods.
In addition, taking specific actions to improve our home can not only promote health but also increase the capital gain of the property.
“A list of small but significant tasks can make a big difference in the value of the property and therefore, the financial gain at the time of sale will be greater,” says Karim Goudiaby, founder and CEO of digital real estate Neximo.
The first step to carry out a remodeling is to clean, accommodate and throw away everything that is not used, this will not only allow greater efficiency in the space but will also be part of the analysis of the areas that require more time, work and budget.
After reviewing the spaces, the Vivanuncios portal advises establishing a budget with the amount allocated to each area, giving priority to those areas in which more work is required followed by areas that can add value to the home.
The expense of a remodeling can vary from 8,000 pesos to 250,000 pesos, in the case of interfering with the construction, the True Home real estate platform details that a remodeling should not exceed 20% of the value of the property to be considered an investment and not an expense.
To avoid losing money and time, it is necessary to resort to expert advice. Currently, companies and platforms offer the services of professional decorators who can advise on alternatives when renovating a home, such is the case of La Haus proptech or Dico Furniture; this allows the public access to different consultancies with decorators to remodel the house for free.
“In our case we even have interior design services to help consumers with advice in order to channel all their needs, with the best options we have,” commented Erika Zavala, Director of Omnichannel at Muebles Dico.
