Maximise Kerb Appeal with Hastings

April 27, 2025

When it comes to property, first impressions count. Kerb appeal can significantly affect how your home is seen and the price it achieves when selling. 

Tidy Exterior

A clean, clutter-free front garden, pathway and entrance will instantly enhance your home’s appearance. Keep lawns neat, bushes trimmed, pathways and drives weed free. As we come into autumn, keep the dustpan handy to sweep up any fallen leaves.

Seasonal Decorations

Adding seasonal touches can give your property a more inviting feel. In summer, hanging baskets filled with colourful flowers like petunias, fuchsias, or geraniums can brighten up your entrance. For October, consider a display of pumpkins near your doorway. Arranged tastefully, these can add an autumnal feel without being overly Halloween-themed

Refresh paintwork

Scotland’s weather can be tough on exterior paintwork, especially in exposed areas. A fresh coat of paint on doors, window frames, and fences can breathe new life into your property.

Add Outdoor Lighting

Well-placed outdoor lighting along pathways or around the entrance adds warmth, enhances security, and creates a welcoming atmosphere, especially during the darker months.

Enhancing kerb appeal is about making a lasting first impression, showcasing the beauty of your home and the surrounding area.

Traditional Features with Modern Touches

Add or highlight traditional touches, such as wrought iron gates, stone planters, or a period-style front door. Use modern touches such as sleek metal house name plates or black door hardware to enhance the modern look. With some care these features blend seamlessly to enhance the overall aesthetic of the property.
