Loxta Helps Increase Value Of Homes

The British property market is continuing to climb, with the latest ONS figures indicating house prices increased by 5.7% in the year to May 2015. Financial website This is Money has advised homeowners that smartening up properties can add an additional 10% to resale prices. Turnkey designer, manufacturer and supplier Loxta Hardware is helping homeowners do just this with a premium quality range of fittings that are guaranteed to enhance aesthetics, increase functionality and add value to any home.

Shaun Singh, Managing Director said: "Homeowners should always be looking for ways to add value to their properties, and investing in premium quality fittings is one of the easiest and most effective ways to do so. Installation of Loxta Hardware fittings requires next to no disruption or inconvenience which means value can be increased in a matter of hours."

In a bid to tap into the competitive property market many first time buyers are opting to purchase older homes from the fifties, sixties and seventies. With a little TLC savvy homeowners can quickly add up to 10% to the resale value. From rendering unattractive brickwork, replacing concrete roof tiles with slate, coating exteriors with a fresh lick of paint, sprucing up the garden and revamping interiors with fresh new fittings, a little work can go a long way.
