Homeownership is a significant milestone, often representing years of hard work and commitment. Beyond its financial value, a home carries deep emotional significance. Losing it can be both financially and emotionally devastating.

Here are three practical steps to help prevent repossession:

Reassess Your Budget and Reduce Debt
Reviewing your budget can reveal areas where you can cut costs and free up funds to maintain your bond repayments. Consider reducing expenses like dining out, subscription services and unnecessary purchases. 

Sell the Property or Other Assets Before Falling Behind
Waiting for a financial turnaround can often make the situation worse. If selling your home isn’t an option, consider selling other assets to generate funds. Look for items around the house that you can part with to improve your financial position.

Request an Extension on Your Bond Repayment Period
Extending your repayment term can lower your monthly instalments, providing temporary relief. However, be mindful that this option increases the overall interest you’ll pay. You can adjust the repayment period again once your finances stabilise.

Stay proactive and maintain open communication with your bank. Lenders are often willing to work with you to find a solution.

How Do Buyers See Your Home?

When potential buyers encounter clutter, they often assume your home has been poorly maintained, leading them to believe there are hidden issues. This impression can significantly reduce your home's market value.

Brighten up your bathroom

Your bathroom is likely one of your home's most frequently used rooms. Here are five practical tips to refresh its look and even increase your home’s value.

Refresh the Walls
A fresh coat of paint can instantly transform your bathroom. For a more durable option, consider tiling the walls. When choosing colours, opt for bright tones that create the illusion of a larger space.

Replace the Silicone 
Silicone around the sink and bathtub often collects mould and may discolour over time. A thorough cleaning with bleach may temporarily restore the appearance.  Replacing it is straightforward and can make a big difference.

Upgrade Lighting 
Replacing outdated lighting fixtures can significantly enhance your bathroom’s ambience. Choose fixtures that complement the room's style and provide adequate lighting without being overly harsh.

Add Fresh Towels
New towels can instantly freshen up your bathroom. Over time, towels lose their vibrancy and become worn. Replacing them with new, colourful or patterned ones is a simple way to improve the overall aesthetic.

Update Accessories
Replacing old, discoloured accessories like towel rails, hooks, shelves or cup holders can give your bathroom a polished and modern look. These upgrades are affordable and easy to install but make a noticeable difference.

By incorporating these changes, you can create a brighter, more inviting bathroom while adding value to your home.
