As a property owner you may be grappling with this very issue, “Should I love it or list it?”The current economic situation may have caused many to consider what to do with their family home. Below are some ideas from architectural firm Linberg & Simmons to help in making that decision.When listing your property for sale, small changes can go a long way to create the ideal house as first impressions are very important. Little details may capture a potential buyer’s heart such as a charming porch or the perfect front entrance. These features can be easily added or remodelled.Perhaps that extra bedroom, dining room extension or extra closet space would make the home more desirable.An architect is able to advise on the size of these extensions so that you are able to make plans that are feasible and within your budget.For those looking to generate additional income in order to assist with the mortgage, you can add value to your property by creating an adjoining apartment designed in a way that both enhances your property and also appeals to renters.Those multi-dwelling developments of the economic boom years ago can be reconfigured into ideal family homes with rental units.Here is an example of how Linberg & Simmons cast a vision that maximised the potential of a family’s current property.Following an initial consultation, two sketch proposals were provided, which consisted of a single story expansion as well as a larger two-storey addition.These sketches show how the house was reimagined into the family’s dream home while also showing the potential for a future buyer.Whether you are deciding to love your home or sell it, we welcome the general public to take advantage of an initial consultation to discuss ideas for your home.Be it a small bathroom update, or larger dream home that you would like to explore we can help add value to your property.There is nothing like making the right plan for the right decision at the right time! You may end up loving it so much you might not want to list it!For more information about this property, a fully renovated two-bedroom, one-bath home on Middle Road, Sandys Parish for $800,000, see www.my-bermuda-house.com/brochure.php? listing_id=03989Tina Sjoberg is an architect at Linberg & Simmons.
