I am up for my first valuation for my PPOR soon to extract equity and I am wondering if there is anything to increase the valuation. Alternatively are there cosmetic issues that would negatively lower the value ? What types of things are taken into consideration ? Will the valuler only look at the outside or inspect the interior of the house ?
I still have a few more unrenovations to do (the house I bought was badly flipped by the previous owner and I have been untangling the mess for years), they are split between hidden issues like structural work and cosmetic patching jobs and obvious value adding features like upgrading a third bathroom (crazy), replacing a deck and structural landscaping.
I am still undecided if I should do all the works, I might do them long term but right now don't really have the time or motivation. If any of these works would significantly increase my valuation then I might get motivation.
