Needing to sell your property can happen at any time, the motivations for selling can vary. Seeking some professional advice early on can help you. Plan and implement a timeline to have the property at its premium best. It is difficult to know what to do and where to spend the money, you may have a budget. Spending money on “big ticket” items might not equate to extra sale dollars.
At Arnold Property we believe street appeal is very important in the marketing strategy. Here are some ideas to consider.
- Front fencing, remove any “ugly” fencing.
- Upgrade the old letterbox.
- Remove excess weeds from lawn.
- Renovate garden beds, include some brightly coloured flowers
- High pressure clean paths, driveways and concrete surfaces
Painting
Engaging a licensed painter can be expensive. The property would benefit from repainting any “outdated decor” or peeling paints. Light neutral colours these days are very popular. They create an atmosphere, space and cleanliness.
Upgrading Internals
Removing any “daggy” features such as old light fittings, outdated window furnishings, tapware, door handles on kitchen cupboards and vanities.
Lighting
Any dark areas/rooms should have lighting upgrades, LED globe’s and fluorescent lighting are wonderful and inexpensive.
Window Furnishings
Any worn out blinds, curtains and drapes should be upgraded. Spotlight has a wide variety of colourful curtains and drapes.
Flooring
Don’t be afraid to remove the old carpet. It might reveal lovely timber floors. This will give the new owner the option to polish the floorboards or recarpet. Buffing up existing floorboards can sometimes make them look new. Tiled areas can be professionally cleaned, to make them look new.
Eco Upgrades
These days more and more people are favouring energy efficient properties. These improvements might include.
- Dual flush toilets
- Solar panels
- Rainwater tanks
- Insulation
