Little improvements are better than expensive ones
Improving your home and ready-ing it for sale doesn’t have to be expensive, nor do you have to be ripping out old furniture / worktops / kitchens to replace them with new. The recession is a great time to make improvements because everything is reduced in price and there are lots of offers and sales.
There is no need to create a lot of work for yourself, when you are not going to see the benefits. Why put in a new kitchen for someone alse to reap the benefits. Instead, key advice to selling a home is to create additional space. This doesn’t have to be extensions after extensions, it can just mean moving the furniture to better accentuate the room. Decluttering rooms by adding extra storage will attract a potential buyer, as will energy saving insulation such as double glazing.
Another minor thing that costs very little to do and attracts buyers is keeping the garden in shape. A tidy garden that looks pretty will encourage potential buyers to imagine themselves in your garden.
Steer clear of things that are expensive to keep, such as saunas, as this will only deter buyers.
Stick to basics and prepare to lower your house price to just under the estimated value. Having a look at prices in your local area will give you a good idea at what your house will most likely sell at.
