Anything & Everything

Buying and selling properties is part of the great British way of doing and takes up an inordinate amount of our time and attention. Usually at the time We Buy Houses after a period of renting, or staying with parents, or , heaven forbid, a stay with the in-laws!

But gone are the times when the very first property we obtain is the one we stay in for the rest of our tgime on earth , and We Buy Homes often with a fairly short term view that we will need to move on within a reasonable period. So we are preoccupied with our culture of property buying and selling and moving up the property ladder. This means that at various times in our life we have to acknowledge the fact that we are going to sell our current house and buy another one. Buying is often the easy part – selling is usually the stressful nightmare.

TV has been speedy to catch on to the national mood and, should you be unfortunate to have to be subjected to a period of daytime TV, you will encounter a surfeit of programme titles such as “Sell My House in Birkenhead for top price” or “How do I get the best price when I Sell My House” etc. Real title names are withheld of course, to protect the guilty parties but we’ve all seen these programs at some stage, particularly when We Buy Houses.

I propose the answer must be to step out of the box for a bit , and by that I mean not to do the things that YOU think would be essential to sell your house but to take a little time out and put yourself in the mind of the potential purchaser for your property. It’s all very well and good putting in DIY or professionally done home improvements for yourself if you are going to continue in your home but trying to predict where best to spend your money when spending on your house with a view to a sale is a little more challenging.

The first things to do are the obvious things :
1. Depersonalise. You may adore your clutter but it’s truly unlikely that someone else will. This is the perfect time to get rid of all those things you have hung onto over the many years “just in case …”
2. When We Buy Homes we like to put our own stamp on them. Therefore it’s vital to start off with a neutral, blank canvas. If you are going to give the place a coat of paint then neutral shades and magnolia are the order of the day.
3. Fix anything that is a possible deal breaker. By this I mean get rid of any potential troubles that could lead to a potential purchaser trying to drive the price down on the grounds that “the radiators are leaking ” or .

If you have a selection of bedrooms, even if you do not use them yourself it’s worth remembering that a potential buyer may have a real need for additional space so make the bedrooms look like bedrooms to fit in with a buyers perception of what the property should be used for.

Finally , one of the most necessary things currently when We Buy Homes is car parking . You possibly might only have the requirement for one parking space yourself but more and more people have a need for extra parking space. This is one area where an investment will pay dividends so if you have space at the front which could be converted into extra parking space then it’s really worth thinking of doing this before putting the house up for sale.
