Give your investment properties the edge and command higher prices with Smart Home Technologies…
Smart Home Technologies can add significant value to your properties, for relatively little investment. Moreover, from a sales and rental point of view, they provide tangible added value to the end consumer. From a practical point of view, if there are two similar flats in the same region, and one has a Smart Home Technology such as “multi-room audio” added, so that when the agent is conducting the viewing they can whip out their iPhone and start music playing through invisible speakers in the room, which property would the purchaser be more interested in?
Today’s professionals command a higher standard of living. If we look at cars over the last 20 years, the technology has moved on massively; ABS, power steering, climate control etc. Our cars are used for commuting in, not living in (though it may seem that way to some!) It seems strange that our homes, the places where we live with our families, have not undergone the same improvement.
After experiencing a car with air conditioning and electric windows, it would be very difficult to revert back to something with neither. The same is true with Smart Homes. The added comfort and convenience, is something that few are willing to relinquish.
Relatively little investment can make a huge difference to a property. Several, investors have been able to get stagnant property moving again by adding basic Smart Home Technology.
The range of features that can be added is diverse, from mood lighting, to bathing controlled via your iPhone. Simple things such as networked home media centres are fast becoming the norm, but no one wants to purchase a new house and fill it with messy wires; With Smart Home technologies integrated into your properties, they wouldn’t have too. All this functionality can be provided as standard. Sky boxes can even be remotely located and controlled, being distributed to all TV points throughout the home, meaning less clutter, with one single wire providing a feed for all of your sources to your TVs.
The benefits of such technologies far outweigh the minor investment needed, and the ROI is often impressive. Moreover, it gets property sold or let.
