If you live in the Coventry area and are considering selling your home, take a few minutes and look at it from a prospective buyer’s viewpoint. Pop out to the street and look back at the house. Compare it to those of your neighbours.
Does it stand the comparison test? Does it stand out as the most well maintained property in the street? Or does it look sad and neglected because other commitments have had to take priority. Do you have damaged garden walls and fences, and front door and windows crying out for a facelift? Lichen covered roof tiles and water stained guttering and downpipes from those little leaks which have never been fixed don’t look very appealing to buyers either.
The same applies inside. There are a number of internal improvements which can be carried out for very little cost, but which can substantially increase the price you can realistically expect to realise when you sell your home.
Contacting a company that specialises in property maintenance in Coventry is well worth considering when you want to revamp your home for sale. All the experts agree that preparing your home for sale is not just a matter of running around with the vacuum, and chucking all the kids toys in a cupboard.
If some time has elapsed since your main living rooms were last decorated, redecorating to your particular taste is not the way to go. Neutral colours are what prospective buyers prefer. They favour shades where they can envisage what the room will look like in their preferred decor, without being distracted by flock wallpaper and bright colours.
Do you have an old tired kitchen which has been worked hard feeding the family over the years? While having the kitchen refitted is an expensive item, giving it a lick of paint, and replacing old worktops, drawers and cupboard doors can make it look brand new, while substantially saving on outlay.
If you’re considering putting your house on the market, discussing what needs to be done to achieve its best price with a professional property maintenance company in Coventrywill be well worth the time spent.
Property maintenance is not all about large letting companies, or office and factory maintenance. It’s also about helping you keep your family home in tip top condition, or preparing it to go on the market.
With their years of experience in all areas of property maintenance, a professional property maintenance company will be able to advise what needs to be done to maximise your property’s selling potential, while keeping costs to the minimum.
