5. Simplicity is always best
There are many small, inexpensive improvements
you can do that can make a huge difference to
your property’s overall value. A fresh coat of paint,
new light fittings, new bathroom fixtures, door and
window handles can all assist to raise your asking
price for sale. Renovating a garden or outdoor
space can instantly change a properties appeal
6 Your agent is a valuable friend
Jan & Allen from Remax Innovation will give you
some good local knowledge about what people
are looking for but can also advise you as to what
you could do to your property to maximise the
price and increase the chance of a sale. Should you
choose to sell your renovated property they will
connect you with a network of potential buyers
7. Partner with professionals
Having one professional organisation such as
Handy Hands Carpentry to pull together the
important trades services needed to successfully
complete a renovation will save you time and
money. They will coordinate all the necessary
elements of the job including; painters, plumbers,
bricklayers, pavers, tilers and landscapers in the
right order to smoothly and painlessly create a
renovation you will be proud of and that will attract
potential buyers.
8. Add space
want a good amount of space! Attraction and
atmosphere is easily created by enlarging or adding
additional rooms. If your house already has large
areas, consider creating new rooms from this space,
especially if it adds a new bathroom or bedroom.
9. Never place an unfinished property
on the market
Potential buyers wouldn’t have known if you
intended to do certain things if they weren’t started,
but it will not create a good impression if you have
an unfinished bathroom, a half finished deck and
kitchens without appliances.
10. Selling and making a profit
• Potential buyers may have seen the property,
make sure the changes you make are noticeable
and provide added benefits so you are adding
value to the property, ensuring a profitable
renovation project.
• If you need to market to a new audience, make
sure you repackage what the selling points for this
new market are in regard to your new property.
• Reconsider your market, your property may now
be an ideal business premises, rental property,
family residence or holiday home. Make sure you
have targeted who your market is before you
begin renovations, and when it comes time to sell,
make sure the property is still appealing to this
market and that your sales pitch appeals to this
demographic.
