Last week i started a section on here regarding the top 10 factors when selling your home. This is part 2 from http://www.apimagazine.com.au/api-online/property-investor-tips/2009/04/the-10-key-factors-when-selling-your-home
4. Pergolas
Sun-shading devices such as pergolas can make for a fine, leafy addition, particularly when covered in deciduous plants. They provide shade to windows, define outdoor living spaces and provide a simple but effective link between indoor and outdoor spaces. A big selling feature admired for their practicality and pleasantness.
5. Repainting
A new coat of paint is the best value for money. Colours should always be neutral and elegant. As a highlight, a cement-based paint can provide a simple textured finish and additional visual pizzazz.
6. Cracking
Patch wall gaps and cracks, sand and fill with a flexible sealant. Be careful to colour-match the existing render or finish or it looks dodgy and puts off potential buyers.
7. Polished floorboards
Floorboards are better than worn carpet. Pull up the carpet, sand and polish floorboards using an odour-free, water-based stain. Seek the advice of a floor specialist before undertaking this project. Carpets can harbour bacteria. Opt instead for wood or linoleum.
I'll be posting the final installment in the next couple of days.
