There are many factors that could possibly de value your home. As a home owner you can consider whether you can change anything to prevent any decrease.

While some factors are out of your hands and therefore you cannot change them, there are some factors you may be able to sort to give you the chance of receiving the best possible price.

Whichever path you choose, it’s crucial to be aware of how you’re affecting your home’s bottom line and to understand what can be done to raise it back up.

We have set our 10 examples below of things that would potentially de value your home.
