Making Interior Improvements
While immediate external appeal can get a buyer’s attention,
it’s the interior of your home that will make or break
a sale. So take a minute and look at the rooms in your home
as if you were a prospective buyer and note any defects. Here
are a few repairs and quick fixes that can get you closer
to making the sale:
-
Cleaning every room in the house and removing all clutter.
This alone will make your house appear bigger and brighter.
-
Removing the less frequently used, even daily used items
from kitchen counters, closets, and attics, making these
areas much more inviting.
-
If necessary, repainting dingy, soiled or strongly coloured
walls with a neutral shade of paint, such as off-white
or beige. The same neutral scheme can be applied to carpets
and linoleum.
-
Checking for cracks, leaks and signs of dampness in the
attic and cellar.
-
Repairing cracks, holes or damage to plaster, plasterboard,
wallpaper, paint, and tiles.
-
Replacing broken or cracked windowpanes, moldings, and
other woodwork.
-
Inspecting and repairing the plumbing, heating and alarm
systems.
-
Repairing dripping taps and showerheads.
-
Buying showy new towels for the bathroom, to be brought
out only when prospective buyers are on the way.
-
Sprucing up a kitchen in need of more major redesigning
by investing in new cabinet handles, new curtains, or
a coat of neutral paint.
