Hi ,
Should you renovate before you sell or leave it for the buyer to make the sort of updates they want? Well, a little
of both is a good idea.
Knowing how far you should go and how much to spend on renovations is really important when you're selling a property. As building costs have escalated in recent years, you might find you could spend more than you will recoup so be sure of
the potential return on investment before you start renovating to sell.
While buyers love to see a high quality kitchen and designer bathrooms, these are highly expensive renovations to undertake.
Depending on your budget, you could make simple, cost-effective kitchen and bathroom updates that improve the visual appeal but don't break the bank. If the layout and cabinetry is fine but the style is dated, consider simply replacing the benchtops and the cupboard handles for a dramatic change without the big price tag. And a
stylish new vanity can make the world of difference to a dated but clean and tidy bathroom.
Flooring has a big visual impact, and there are some quite affordable carpets on the market today so consider the cost of carpet replacement or floating floors.
And lastly, if you're not too bad with a paintbrush then a fresh coat of paint does absolute wonders for a home that's looking a little tired.
