Before selling, you’ll need to undertake minor repairs to parts of your home.
Accessories – These are your home’s finishing touches and buyers have a keen eye for small imperfections. Repair any broken screens, doorbells, locks and latches. Replace lightbulbs, handles or doorknobs and fx leaking taps.
Carpets and tiles – It’s amazing the difference professionally cleaned carpets can make! For any tiled areas, a useful tip is to use bicarbonate soda and vinegar with a toothbrush to clean any stained grouting between tiles.
Safety and security concerns – If there is exposed wire it can cause major safety concerns, so hide any unsightly wiring to stereos, televisions, or computers. Missing switch covers and electrical plates should be replaced. All doors and windows should close and lock securely. Latches should be well oiled to open and close easily.
All these improvements add up. It can be the difference between making a sale or being crossed of a buyer’s list!
