Brief Guide

The Non Bermudian’s to buying Property In Bermuda by Sharon Cranfield of Cranfields Property Ltd. Non Bermudians may purchase property in Bermuda subject to certain restrictions. Non Bermudians may buy a house which has an ARV (Annual Rental Value) of over $153,000 or a condominium with an ARV over $32,400. Once the buyer enters into a contract to purchase a property they will be required to submit an application for a “License to Acquire” to the Bermuda Government along with a consideration fee of $1,416. Currently the cost of the “License to Acquire” is 6% of the purchase price for a condominium, 8 % of the purchase price for a House and 6.5% for properties that are part of a Tourism Designated Development. After 30 September 2015 the license fees are due to increase to 8% on a

condominium and 12.5% on a house. Non Bermudians may not buy vacant land, commercial property. Non Bermudian owners of property may be granted permission to rent their property by the Immigration Department of the Bermuda Government. Permission rarely extends to periods of more than a year and incurs a 7.25 % tax on that rental income. Prospective international buyers should review the Bermuda Immigration and Protection Act 2007 for more in-depth information. If you are considering buying a house or condo in Bermuda then any of IPN’s Real Estate Agents would be of great assistance to help navigate the process and suggest suitable properties for consideration.

Increasing the Value of your home

A man’s home is his castle but that doesn’t mean a castle doesn’t need its fix me ups. Making investments and improvements to your home can go a long way in adding value. Whether you are selling now, or simply planning for the future, adding to the value of your home is always a wise investment. Even if you’re not planning to sell your home anytime soon, it’s an inevitable question when you consider remodeling: How much will this improvement add to the value of my home? Surprisingly, much of the time, the answer is not as much value as it costs to actually make the improvement. But some home renovations bring you more bang for your buck than others.

6 Island Property News • October 2015 • www.ipn.bm

So what can you do to your castle to increase its value? There are numerous ideas and opinions on how to do this but many can agree it doesn’t take a huge budget to accomplish a lot. In this issue, our experts bring you some easy improvements to increase your home’s worth.

10 TIPS + one for good measure... By Jacqueline Ward, Island Property News

Take tips from the pros:

Invite a realtor or interior designer over to check out your home. In roughly an hour they would be able to give you lods of ideas for needed improvements. Even small suggested improvements, such as paint colors or furniture placement, could go a long way toward improving the look and feel of your home.

2 Add storage to your space:

This will have the duel purpose of providing potential buyers with more storage and will also establish an organized atmosphere in your home. You don’t need to fill every open spot in your house with cabinets or wardrobes, but there are probably a few simple additions you can make that will tie a room together.

3 Light it up:

Focus on flooring:

Check if your carpets or flooring are in good condition. If they need to be replaced, choose environmentally friendly natural products like tile or laminate floors. Hard-surface floors are much easier to keep clean, don’t hold odors, give your home an updated look and, in general, are more appealing to buyers.

8 Make a list:

Start by making two lists — upgrades for your home value and upgrades just for you. Upgrades for your home may consist of replacing old faucets, permanent lighting and doors. Upgrades for you are furniture, artwork and window treatments. The dartboard approach to picking projects is long gone. Making lists helps to stop wondering if what you are doing is really making a difference. With this plan, you will see real progress.

Ensuring your home is properly lit noticeably enhances a home’s appeal. Remember high wattage bulbs make small spaces feel larger, and soft lighting brings warmth to empty spaces.

One of the simplest, most costeffective improvements of all is paint! Freshly painted rooms look clean and updated — and that spells value. When selecting paint colors, keep in mind that neutrals appeal to the greatest number of people, therefore making your home more desirable.

10 Plant a tree:

4 Paint the town: 5 Go green:

More and more, homeowners are looking to energy efficiency for saving costs and maximizing their utilities. An energy-efficient home will save you money now, which can be applied to other updates, and is a more valuable and marketable asset in the long run.

Build an oasis: Bathroom updates are always a smart

move. Even if you can’t afford a full remodel, small changes such as resurfacing dated walls with a faux or textured finish and replacing old lighting will update the room without denting your wallet.

Inspect it:

Not every home improvement is cosmetic. Deteriorating roofs, termite infestation or outdated electrical systems — you can’t fix it if you don’t know it’s broken. Hire a home inspector to check out the areas of your home that you can’t normally see. They may discover hidden problems that could negatively impact your home’s value. If you aren’t planning to sell your house today, plan for the future with a landscaping improvement that will mature over time. Plant shade trees — not only will mature trees make your home more desirable but a fully grown, properly placed tree can cut your cooling costs by as much as 40%.

11 Love your front door:

The top-ranking home improvement? A new front door, which on average adds 96.6% of the amount you spent to the value to your home, according to Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report for 2014. Even painting your existing door can do a lot to adding to the curb appeal of your home. www.ipn.bm • October 2015 • Island Property News 7

The Full Potential of Tile & Stone Expert Advice from Surface Trends

There is a lot a homeowner can do to add value to their house. Potential buyers are savvier and can often see past a new coat of paint. They are looking for quality, in addition to appearance. One simple and affordable solution is tile or stone. There are many places in your home where tile & stone can do wonders and add value to you home.

Flooring:

One surefire way to see your property value rise is by installing new tile or stone floors. Tile is appealing to many people because it is long-lasting and attractive. Buyers will see the quality of having tile or stone, as they are not only beautiful but also durable and easy to maintain. If you go with a neutral earth tone and a grout that blends in, you’ll have beautiful floors that will complement any style architecture and décor. Anything that opens the space and creates a sense of flow in the house is generating a response from buyers who can afford to be choosy. For the price of a few hundred dollars, you’ll transform the feel of the house.

Easy Upgrades:

Many say spiffing up the kitchen and bath is a sure bet for adding value to your home. But it doesn’t have to be a full overhaul some upgrades are cheap, easy, and fast.

Replace frosted glass for clear glass tile, clean the grout, remove rust stains, apply fresh caulk, or invigorate your boring wall with a beautiful backsplash. A backsplash adds texture and gives a room a finished touch. Opt for unique, accent colors that will give your kitchen an extra pop, or you can choose more subdued tile or stone that blends in with the walls and countertops but gives depth to the room.

Think outside the norm:

Tile will always be in demand and retains value exceptionally well. So don’t just think of it for the kitchen or bathroom. Tile or stone in a foyer offers your entryway a sense of style that can impact your home’s value. The entryway symbolizes what your home is all about and is your guests’ first impression. Utilizing tile or stone along a focal wall or fireplace can also lend a room a sophisticated touch. Done subtly, accent tiles can add an extra design element or become a focal point in a room. Consider adding beautiful tile or stone to your patio or pool deck. Your backyard is an extension of your living space, and a tiled outdoor area will not only appeal to potential buyers, but can increase the value. Choosing tile or stone is a no-brainer. They last for a long time, are easy to clean, and are extremely versatile. Besides coming in a variety of colors, textures, shapes and sizes, you can get them in virtually any material, glass, porcelain, granite, ceramic and so on…See their full potential and add value to your home today.

Bring your Home Back to Life: and out of the stone-age with a little TLC Expert Advice from BS&R Group How many of us have windows and doors from what feels like the stone-age? The paint is cracked, the piece is jammed, or it looks like there’s so much film you can’t be sure what’s underneath. It happens. With so many old homes in Bermuda, there are many windows, doors and shutters that need a little TLC. The first impression visitors’ get of your home is its exterior. Rotting window frames, dented doors and chipping can make people think that the inside of your home is going to be in the same condition. With new or improved windows, doors and shutters you will improve the look of your home, from both inside and out. Our T-Made Custom Carpentry division as well as our Stripping & Refinishing division can do wonders to help in adding value to your home. The latter allows your original windows and doors to shine. Our chemical stripping process preserves the profiles of the woodwork and does not injure the wood in any way. What would take days or weeks by hand can be done efficiently in a day in our stripping workshop. And with endless combinations of finishes available for wood and metal products, your next stripping and refinishing project couldn’t be in safer, quicker and more dependable hands. Often when people are out looking at homes, they are looking for things that need to be repaired. While they may not mind repainting or patching some drywall, old windows and doors can be a huge turnoff. They can also give the impression that you haven’t been maintaining your home. Buyers often believe that what they can’t see is in worse condition than what they can see. Our Stripping and Refinishing division can save homeowners time

and money in improving their windows, doors and shutters into something they can be proud of. When stripping and refinishing isn’t possible homeowners should consider replacing the pieces outright. Older houses will benefit from new windows, doors, and shutters and homeowners will see the difference. Besides being more attractive and better sealed, new technologies and features will allow them to open with ease and be more energy efficient. We are big fans of using low-e glass in our window and door builds. These not only help with the performance of the window and its lifespan but also help with energy bills. Using woods like Accoya allows windows, doors and shutters to last longer, be more weather resistant, and be more impervious to rot and decay. Not only that but new technologies and products allow for a more stable surface (so less swelling and shrinkage) which means coatings adhere better. Allowing your pieces to stay un-jammed and finishes & paint to last longer. The exterior of your house can make quite an impact on the overall look of your house and we all know the saying about first impressions. Buyers will notice when you’ve invested and taken care of your home. So bring your home out of the stone-age and make that stunning first impression for your home.
