If there is a cupboard in the house, there is a good chance the buyer will open it. It’s now time to throw the box that your kettle came in 5 years ago that’s sitting on top of the fridge. The more spacious you make the house, the bigger it will look and the better it will be!
Remember when you knocked the wall or put a little hole in the wall while moving furniture, it’s now time to patch and paint it.
The red feature wall you painted ten years ago that is now out of style – refresh the space and repaint with neutral colours.
Steam clean carpets or replace carpets to give the property a fresh new look.
Get into the oven, behind the TV, the cupboards, skirting boards – everything. Make time and pick a room while you are at home and get to work.
There is nothing worse than the little marks you made, you want to make it look like the house has been well-looked after. While these items may seem minor, it puts something in the back of buyer’s minds.
If you have a deck, get it varnished with plenty of time for it to set in. Trim the hedges, cutting the trees back away from the house, get any vines removed, tidying the bamboo, making the gardens look nice and neat, refresh the lawn, give it an aerate and water and re-turf if needed so it’s all looking perfect.
It’s amazing what a visit to Bunnings and spending $30 on new door handles for your kitchen and bathroom will do for your place, now is the time to do it!
There is nothing worse than attracting the dream price for your property only to find that you had termites or something that you could fix that may cost you $500 or $1000 and could be a quick easy fix but turns a buyer off because they think it’s major because of the terminology the Contractor used and it scares the buyer away.
