1) First impressions last:-
The first thing a valuer sees is the outside of your home. You need to make sure the gardens are trimmed and the lawn is neatly manicured with some liquid garden fertilizer sprayed around with a house.
2) Success is in the details:-
Check with recent interior decorating and design magazines and visit display homes to acquaint yourself with modern trend.
3) Refresh, refresh, refresh:-
The most important thing about the kitchen is that it is clean, tidy, reasonably up-to-date and in good repair.
4) Less clutter is better:-
A house shows much more potential and is more sell-able if it has less “stuff”. Clutter is an easy thing to attack.
5) Cover the inches:
A valuer or building inspector will spot the smallest discrepancies. When there is mould, mildew, leaks, stains or any evidence of dirt, these are recorded. When it comes to plumbing, unless you are somewhat of an expert, consult your plumber or handyman-
6) Make sure you have the paper:-
When it comes to valuations, always ensure that all previous renovations and additions to the home are council approved.
Can you suggest more tips on this topic...
