The experts at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ajasurveyors.co.uk\/\">Aston James Associates London<\/a> are extremely experienced in this field and won\u2019t let you down with their educational tips.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important factors regarding property value is its surroundings. A factor that boosts property values immediately is whether or not it is close to a railway station. A property can be worth up to 17% more than similar <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Home\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/home\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/home;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.01l0mw;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Home\" >homes<\/a> when in walking distance of the station. This is such an important factor for commuters and will have a great impact on their daily lives. On the other hand, a factor that lowers your property value can all be down to the location of power plants. Homes that are close to power plants can be worth 7% less than they would usually be &#8211; no one wants the noise pollution and unappealing scenery that comes with power plants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A factor that will be sure to have an extreme impact on the value of a property is its accessibility to public transportation. A <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"houses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/house\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/house;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.03jm5;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/House\" >house<\/a> that is close to any type of public transportation could gain as much as 41% more value than one that is in a desert location. Convenience is key for <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Home insurance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/home-insurance\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/home_insurance;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.0313mp;http:\/\/yago-knowledge.org\/resource\/Home_insurance;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Home_insurance\" >homeowners<\/a> and this will be a recurring aspect that they look for when buying a property. So, if there is a local bus stop near your house, you are in luck.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps one of the more surprising concepts that will boost property value is whether it is near a Starbucks. This may seem like a silly concept but properties that are a quarter of a mile from Starbucks can be around 21% more valuable than homes that are not. It\u2019s amazing how a good coffee and chocolate brownie can impact someone\u2019s life! Alternatively, something that will lower property value is being located near a recycling centre, which can get between 5% and 7% less than other properties. Recycling is a great process until you are practically living with the last <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Stairs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/stairs\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/stairs;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.01lynh;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Stairs\" >step<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We all know how important presentation is when it comes to making your home stand out to a potential buyer. It is unlikely that you will show them around a cluttered home, but did you know that a messy <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/room\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/room;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.06ht1;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Room\" >room<\/a> could result in you losing \u00a38,000 on the sale?! If you have children, make sure that they tidy their rooms before having visitors or you will be paying the <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"prices\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/price\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/price;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.01d_1l;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Price\" >price<\/a>\u2026 literally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is no myth that there are likely to be several more factors that can decrease a property value rather than increase it. If you take note of this infographic, then you will gain a further understanding of what to look out for on the <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Market (economics)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/market-economics\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/market_economics;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Market_(economics)\" >market<\/a>.
