Prepare Your House for Selling
More and more Australians are looking into purchasing homes. Probably, you’ve thought a lot about selling your own for a variety of reasons. It could be that you’re moving to a new city, have found another property or want a new source of income.
Preparing your home for buyers is essential to make it marketable and valuable. This involves keeping it clean and habitable for the next occupants. To hasten the posting of SOLD stickers on your gate or front door, make sure your house is ready for selling by doing the tips below:
Clean the house
You’ll have to clean it of trash and excess furniture. This includes sweeping the floors of dirt, wiping the windows of dust and emptying the disposal bins of waste. Pay more attention to cleaning the living room, bathroom and kitchen as buyers usually inspect the condition of these areas.
Make sure it’s properly maintained
If you want your house to be marketable, invest in improving its interiors. Give the walls a fresh coat of paint. You should also have the electrical system fixed and repair broken items such as door hinges. You want the prospective buyers to get the best impression of your property, so repair any damages as soon as possible.
Check if security locks are working
Be sure that the safety locks are working. This includes all safety screens and electronic locks, such as smart locks. You can do so by checking if the current PIN or passcode is still working. Open the app connected to the smart lock and see if it’s still integrated. Have old locks re-keyed and replaced if needed.
Pay attention to the bathroom
Having a grimy and unusable bathroom is a huge turnoff. See to it that the flush valve and faucets are releasing clean water. Make sure that the shower and hot water system is working as well. Buyers are more likely to consider your property when they see the bathroom is clean and functional.
Check the safety devices
Buyers will never overlook emergency exits and other safety features of your home. Security is a priority for buyers. For their peace of mine, they need assurance that the house they are purchasing is safe to live in. Be sure that all safety devices in your property are working. Also, make sure that the emergency escape in your property is easily accessible and free of obstructions.
Take out unnecessary furniture
Never leave behind your used furniture, unless requested by the buyer. Once you made up your mind on selling your property, start removing your excess home items. If you can’t remove them on your own, you can hire furniture removalists.
Selling your house requires a huge amount of preparation. The tips above can help you make your property attractive to property buyers and investors. By following them, you can post SOLD stickers on your front gate with a smile, after you have sold your property at a higher than expected price.
