Without doubt, if you are selling your home, in these times when buyers can afford to be choosy, painting and decorating, redecorating or staging your property to improve its presentation to purchasers can only improve the chances of achieving an early sale on your flat or house.
Yet it is sometimes difficult to look through the eyes of a prospective purchaser when your perception is clouded by memories and emotions, hopefully good.
When a prospective purchaser looks at a property, they are cautious, possibly fearful, and concerned that they might miss a fault which later they will pay for dearly. They are much more likely to look critically.
To get a more independent view about how to make your property more marketable, your estate agent is a good place to start.
Ask if he thinks painting and redecorating would help achieve a sale. If he thinks it would, the next step is to find out how much it will cost and the cost might be less than you think.
But, you may ask, will the cost of painting and decorating your flat or house be wasted if the property still doesn’t sell?
This is probably unlikely. If your property needs painting or decorating and unless there are other overriding issues, it should always be easier to sell and at a better price after the painting and redecoration has been freshened up, whenever it is sold.
It is perhaps more likely, when you see how nice your property looks after it has been redecorated, that you might decide you don’t actually want to sell after all.
If your property is in the Southbourne, Christchurch or Bournemouth area and, if your agent considers it will improve the marketability of your property, I would welcome the opportunity to provide a free quotation for any painting and decoration or redecoration work that is necessary.
Call me on (01202) 425047 for a free quote. If neither my wife nor myself are able to take your call, please leave a message or use my web site Contact Form and we will get right back to you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Bye for now
