How to Avoid the 10 Worst Property Selling Mistakes Mistake # 2 Spending too Much Time & Money Renovating for Sale (England/Wales)

When it’s time to sell, it’s only natural to want to make the most profit possible.

Because of this many house sellers are quick to believe that fitting a new bathroom suite or kitchen will be a sure way to make a relatively easy & quick last-minute profit.

Unfortunately, this is usually not the case.

Often unless you’re selling in a prime location, once “fitting costs” are factored-in, you’ll be lucky to re-coup even 90% of your money. 

When you’re selling, it’s far more profitable to just present what you have as well as you can. 

In other words, unless a room or element (e.g. The carpet) of your property is:

1. Deeply unattractive

2. In total disrepair

3. Unsanitary

Don’t waste your time, money or energy on unprofitable last minute renovations.

Instead, keep in mind that painting, cleaning & refinishing surfaces have always been (and always will be) the easiest, quickest and cheapest ways of increasing the achievable sale price of a property.
