SELLING HOUSES NEW ZEALAND

This week, the final episode of the season of popular Australian reality series "Selling Houses Australia" aired on TVNZ.

The show looked at how to add value to a property prior to sale, case studying a variety of properties and budgets.

One of the most common questions we are asked by potential vendors is "what can I do to my property to maximise it's value in the market?" Essentially, the same question posed in this TV show.

As we are dealing with a number of active buyers in the current market, we get a pretty good idea about what people are looking for, which we can share with our vendors-to-be. 

Some ideas include:

• Increase light 

  • removing/replacing old curtains/drapes

  • painting rooms in a lighter colour

  • replacing lighting

  • staging with appropriate lighting 

• Remove clutter

• Upgrade fittings

  • Cupboard door handles in the kitchen can be a low-cost win 

• Reduce laundry size (particularly in older homes)

• Tidy/landscape garden areas

There are many other ideas - many specific to the property and/or budget.
