As temperatures soar across the state, the attraction of a backyard pool increases for both home owners and buyers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How much value a pool adds to a home is dependent on a number of factors including property type, landscaping and garden size. A swimming pool is likely to add greater value to a family home rather than a smaller property suited to downsizers.<\/p>\n

Property location is another key factor as areas such as the Mallee, Northern Country, north east and the Wimmera can be warm for an extra month either side of summer.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of installing a pool, look for a design that suits your backyard and doesn\u2019t overwhelm your garden. Given the variety of pool sizes and shapes now available, a pool can be incorporated even in areas where block sizes are decreasing.<\/p>\n

A pool should complement a property with clever landscaping integrating indoor and outdoor living space. Ensuring safety barriers comply with local and state standards is also installed, particularly if the property is being rented out.<\/p>\n

While a pool can add monetary advantages at sale time, home owners should be aware that the project may over-capitalise their home. A local real estate agent will be able to provide home owners with advice on comparable sales in the area \u2013 both homes with and without a pool.<\/p>\n

For vendors, the presentation and maintenance of your pool will go a long way to determining how much of an asset it is when it comes time to sell. A neglected pool can be an eyesore, so ensure the pool is vacuumed and clear of leaves and other debris.<\/p>\n

For those thinking of purchasing a home with an existing pool, it\u2019s imperative to inspect barriers as proposed changes to pool fences could result in costly repairs or replacement later on.<\/p>\n

Prospective buyers can check with the local council as to whether the existing pool fence is compliant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
