When selling a house, it is the small things which are often over looked that are the reasons for a lot of sale bids going wrong. We should understand that when we are actually going about putting a substantial amount of money into the redoing of a house, it should not go wasted with these small issues.
Most of the times we are too busy to make sure that these issues can become complicated and very difficult to handle. Some of the main things that we need to make sure is that of the plumbing, patch works which were done some time back, tiles which may look like they will last for some more time and many more things. There is a huge bonus when the house looks pleasent from the outside as well as from the inside.
While getting the house formally inspected by a qualified enginneer or an expert, make sure you request him to tell you every thing that is wrong. This way half the work is done. The reason for saying this is that a professional eye will be able to make out if repairs are needed than us. So when he gives his report make sure that we pay attention to not only the 'immediate to do list' but also the maybe list. This will ensure that we do not give ammo to the person looking at the house. Make sure that you do a repeat inspection of the house after the repairs have been done. This will ensure that you have not missed out on anything. Putting up the inspection report on the catalogue or in the entrance will impress anyone walking through.
Try to make the house look as spacious as possible and also less personal. This will help the buyer to feel more at home. If the house is too cluttered, the try to pack some things and keep them away. A big house can look small if there are too many things. Make the walk ways and the halls clear for easy access to rooms. Ensure that all the lights and switches are working because that is the first thing that prospective buyers will try out.
