If you are hoping to sell your home over the next few months, you may wish that you could improve the way that it looks with a view towards improving the overall value. The fact is that there are fewer buyers these days and they are much less likely to pay the asking price. In fact, now is the time for buyers to make cheeky offers, so you need to present your home in the best possible light to get the price it deserves.

Replacement kitchen doors can be fitted in just a couple of days and you can do it yourself. A tradesman could cost you hundreds of pounds and that investment may not get the return you might expect in today's difficult market.

Replacement kitchen doors are the perfect way to improve the look of your kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms and it won't cost you a fortune. Follow the ideas below to make changes in many of the rooms of your home which will freshen it up, make it look like it has had a full makeover and which will cost you much less than you might think.

The kitchen

Replacement kitchen doors can be purchased for the kitchen from around £50 per door. Add to that some new handles and even a new worktop and you will have what looks like a new kitchen in no time.

In most cases, the carcasses from your old kitchen will be in good enough condition to leave where they are. This will save you money and time – something which you will need plenty of if you are moving house.

Dress the kitchen with a few stainless steel accessories and other items which you will be able to take with you to your new home. Finally a good clean (especially of the appliances) and a fresh coat of paint and the kitchen will be unrecognisable.

The bathroom

Storage in a bathroom is a real bonus when you are house-hunting. Many bathrooms are small and finding enough places to store towels and toiletries can be tricky. However if you do have cupboard space in your bathroom or you would like to add some, replacement kitchen doors could be ideal.

Many replacement cabinet doors will work well in a bathroom and the sizes can be adjusted to fit any size cupboard – even if it isn't a standard shape. This will include under sink cupboards and wall cupboards. If you go with a white gloss, you will freshen up the room and add a modern touch.

If you want to add a new cupboard to the room, you can buy carcasses which will do the job in a variety of shapes and sizes. Then simply choose the right doors and handles and you could have a new looking bathroom for less than a few hundred pounds.

The bedroom

You will be surprised to hear that you can also buy replacement wardrobe doors suitable for all the bedrooms in your house. You can reuse the tracks or hinges and get a new and modern look which will wow your potential purchasers. Whether you decide to go for a mirrored finish to bounce the light around or a soft wooden traditional look, replacement wardrobe doors will improve your bedrooms and increase the value of your home.

You may have thought that you would have to put your home on the market and just accept whatever price you were offered. But you could improve your home to the point where buyers are fighting over it and your wildest dreams in terms of value could be realised. The investment you will need to make will be tiny compared to the extra money you could be putting in your bank and towards your next dream home.
