What are buyers lookinf for in 2024?

Thinking about selling your property this year? Wondering what buyers are looking for in 2024? These are the top 10 things that homebuyers are currently prioritising in their property searches.

Open plan living

The versatility offered by open plan living and the existence of a large communal area that is perfect for both gatherings and busy family life is currently highly sought after by buyers. 

Home Office

Working from home is no longer unusual and as a result many buyers place a lot of value on having an office space that is separate from the rest of the home.

Modern Kitchens

Efficient, sleek and modern kitchens have been topping buyers' must-have lists for several years now. 

Pantries

Space is important to buyers. Pantries offer the ability to create space in the kitchen by storing everything you need away out of sight. They are perfect for stashing away a large weekly shop or for hiding away bulk buys with ease. 

Kitchen Islands

Providing extra surface space, storage and an attractive focal point, kitchen islands are high up on the list of desirable features for many buyers.  

Storage

Buyers are looking for properties that feel spacious and storage is key to this. Ample built-in storage is very attractive to buyers.

Hardwood Flooring

Durable, easy to maintain and long lasting, it is easy to see why hardwood floors are popular with buyers. 

Outdoor Entertaining Areas

Areas to socialise in have been especially important for buyers since the pandemic and outdoor areas to host gatherings in are particularly popular.

Garages/outbuildings

Buyers place a lot of value on having a place where they can undertake DIY projects or simply store their belongings without them encroaching on their living area.

Going Green

Soaring energy bills, the rising cost of living and an awareness of our individual contributions to climate change has meant that properties with EPC (energy performance certificates) ratings of C or above are attracting more attention from potential buyers than properties with a large carbon footprint.
