Presenting Properties is Key
Renovating your entire building to attract buyers is not always necessary. Often the cost of renovations outweighs the value it will add to your asking price.
Any property will still be subject to personal taste, so if it does not appeal to your buyers they will refit it upon moving in anyway.
Consider Option 2:
If your property is very dated, simple changes can make all the difference. Painting the cupboard doors, replacing handles or taps and re-grouting the tiles can all give a new lease of life.
Clean and de-clutter! Viewers may even look in your cupboards so ensure shelves are cleaned and all contents are organised. Any pet bowls should go outside as potential buyers may not be animal lovers so could be put off by the sight of half eaten pet food.
If necessary, box up items you don't use very often and put them in storage. If your cupboards and drawers are overflowing, buyers will assume there is little storage space, which can be off-putting. Keep work surfaces as clear as possible to enhance the appearance of cleanliness.
Flowers or pot pourri on window sills create a welcoming atmosphere and add a fresh fragrance.
Using these simple but effective ideas will ensure your property looks appealing and entices potential buyers into a prompt decision.
Wishing your prosperous time!
