BAYLEYS

A home appraisal is an inspection of your property by a licensed real estate agent to help determine a realistic selling price and to identify opportunities that will make the property as marketable as possible.

The agent will make a comparative assessment of the property’s value based on recent sales figures in your local neighbourhood. He or she will then arrange to go through the property, establish the key selling points and determine a value guideline. It can be a good idea to make a list of improvements you have made to the property as these may not be immediately apparent to the agent. Things like insulation, irrigation systems, garden improvements, a new cylinder, heatpump’s only a year old, the list goes on. If you think hard enough it can all add to your property’s value. The home has a lot of hidden money spent

which you take for granted. All this can help get a better price, it’s all about showing value and why your home is the better buy.

It is important that the agent has an accurate knowledge of the features and benefits of the property, so they can be highlighted to prospective purchasers.

No two homes are exactly the same, this is because it depends on how they have been maintained and are presented.

An appraisal will give you a fair indication

of where your property sits in the marketplace. The value you get from having another set of eyes looking at your property can really make a difference.

Remember you’re living there every day so may not pick up on certain things that they will notice. This is a good time to get an Agent in to have a fresh set of eyes on your property.

Replant your summer annuals with winter annuals. Pull out the plants, dig over your soil and replace them with geranium, primula, polyanthus, cineraria and pansy.

If you get your winter annuals in now while the soil is warm they’ll get growing quickly and continue growing right over winter.

If you find you’re starting to mow the lawns more regularly again after summer, it’s a sure sign the soil temperature is still warm but there’s now some moisture in it Harvest pumpkins, potatoes and onions, too.

to mulch around them. Spread peastraw and bark mulch to protect your plants from the cold. The bark mulch will also make it tougher for snails and slugs to get to all your seedlings.

April is also a good time to prune your shrubs now that they’ve finished flowering so they’re nice and tidy before the weather gets cold and wet. And give your roses a light pruning before winter – simply take off any dead flower heads.

Remember to move any potted plants that might be susceptible to frost to a warmer spot.

Lastly, if you’ve got end of season pears and apples left on your trees, now’s the time to stew or bottle them.

AT HOME

Cozy up your home Get ready, get set, get cosy this autumn.

Autumn is a great time to get your home looking, and feeling, extra cosy for the winter ahead.

Just because it’s cold and bleak outside, doesn’t mean your home should be unwelcoming.

With just a few subtle – and strategic – changes, your home can be made to feel warmer and more comfortable for those cold nights looming.

Whether it’s the addition of soft textures and extra layers of snuggliness, or smells and fragrances or just soft mood lighting, following these simple ideas will get you ready for winter.

In the living room Add a luxurious, and soft, throw or blanket to use while you snuggle on the couch.

The inclusion of a throw or pillows in soft textures like cashmere, velvet, faux fur or wool add to the illusion.

Table setting

Treat yourself

Fireplace

Just add colour – and fragrance – with some fresh seasonal flowers. Nothing lifts the spirits more than a bright bloom in your home.

A roaring fire is often enough to make a room feel warm and cosy but rearrange your furniture to face the fireplace. Then place a mirror above the fireplace and

9 add candles which increase that warm, peaceful feel. The addition of a bloom of flowers is even better. Take any opportunity to create a warm atmosphere to the glow of candlelight while relaxing at night.

In the bedroom Put an extra blanket or duvet on the bed for those colder nights. On the bed if you can, add an electric blanket or wool underlay but changing summer cotton sheets for warmer, stylish flannelette sheets is a given.

Winter scents The smells in your home help to create a cosy, warm atmosphere so add fragrance in prominent locations in each room: whether it’s your home cooking or baking, or the addition of soft scented candles, diffusers or room sprays.

Floor covers Put the comfort on the floor with rugs and mats strategically placed on cold floor surfaces, such as a rug on the kitchen lino to protect your feet from freezing in a morning dash for coffee.

Heated treat There is nothing more luxurious, or uplifting, than wrapping your body in a heated towel after a shower or bath so if you can, get a heated towel rail for winter.

Colour boost Pop bursts of colour into neutral, plain spaces where you can. These might include bright throws, rugs or cushions.

Sheepskin flair The addition of a sheepskin rug brings warmth to any room, especially placed beside the bed.

Layered flooring A warm rug on a wood floor gives warmth and texture but adding a thinner, smaller rug on top of another floor rug adds visual appeal and makes it even cosier.

Window appeal Stop those winter draughts by layering the window coverings with stylish nets, curtains or roman blinds.
