We especially love this tip about mailboxes.

"Mailbox: if your mailbox has seen better days it might be time for a replacement. Basic mailboxes are fairly inexpensive but if you want to bring life to your old mailbox a lick of paint and maybe even some new street number signage will make your postman smile," their blog notes.

It can be a cheap fix up, along with those street numbers which you can pick up at Bunnings for a minimal outlay, that could just make your property sparkle a little bit more.

For every renovator, you need to be thinking - minimal outlay for maximum return. And remember, first impressions do count when it comes to property.
