Here are some improvements that will make your house stand out from the rest and sell faster.
Get Rid of Clutter
A potential home owner does not want to see a cluttered house. Space, and the possibilty of imagining where their belonings will fit is what they want to see. Consider hiring a self storage unit while selling your property if you do not have where to store it.
The Importance of the Driveway
Many people understimate the importance of the driveway in a property. The drive will probably be the first and last thing a potential buyer will see. With time, driveways age and lose their fresh appearance, so it is a good idea to clean it. Consider hiring a professional. The driveway can be resealed after cleaning it, and it will look brand new.
Solar Panels
Regardless of whether you are selling or not, solar panels are a great investment for any property. They can generate free solar electricity all year round. Installation rates have dropped and you also receive the government backed feed-in tariff rate, which pays you for every unit of electricity you generate. Homebuyers are often looking for properties that have built in green technologies, and the ability to generate free electricity can be a big plus.
A Clean Carpet
When it comes to carpets, you can either clean, repair, or remove it. You can hire a professional carpet cleaner if you do not want to replace the carpet. If you would rather do it yourself, professional carpet cleaning machines can be hired.
An Asbestos Survey
Nobody wants a house that has potentially dangerous asbestos. You may have a survey conducted if you think that your property has asbestos. If asbestos is found, you can either have it removed or encapsulated. The cost of asbestos removal and surveyscan be less than you may think.
Clean the Garden
An untidy garden will look unpleasing, and it can also make your yard look smaller than it is. Get rid of any unused, broken, and old graden furniture. Trim the branches and hedges, and cut the lawn. This will make your garden look great, and will let potential buyers see its true size.
