First National Real Estate chief executive Ray Ellis said the first step for any seller should be a kitchen update if needed.

While online tradie market place hipages estimates a new culinary hub can top $15,000, Mr Ellis said refreshing elements of the key living space could be done for far less.

He suggested painting over faded splashbacks or resurfacing kitchen cupboards and benchtops.

A budget bathroom update was next on his list, but rather than spend upwards of $10,000, simply replacing old fixtures with modern ones or regrouting shower tiles could have buyers willing to spend more.

“What sells a house is the kitchen, the bathrooms and the living areas, so you want to spruce those areas up,” Mr Ellis said.

“If you allocate up to $10,000 as your budget you are virtually guaranteed to sell your home as you will be ahead of the pack. And you could well get more.”
