PREPARING your home for sale...

 

Before the house goes on the market it can be worthwhile investing some time sprucing it up! When preparing your house for sale, its important to consider the Exterior Appear and Interior Appeal from a purchasers point of view.

 

Exterior Appeal
Work at enhancing your home's exterior appeal before attending to its interior. This should be your first priority as the exterior of your property provides a buyer's introduction to your home. If the exterior repels a buyer, they are unlikely to investigate the inside of the house.

Handy Tip:
Imagine you are a potential buyer. Stand across the street from your property and study it. If you drove past this house and saw a "For Sale" sign, would you be attracted to the external features of the house and want to see more?

First impressions count!
Look over the following list of areas that may need attention when preparing the exterior of your property:

              Lawn - Keep your lawns cut, with neat edges. Reseed any bare patches

 

              Shrubs/Trees - Trim branches, especially around windows to allow natural light inside.

 

              Garden Beds - If appropriate, plant colourful flowers. and remove all weeds.

 

              Paths - Keep all paths swept.

 

              Windows - Repair any broken windows and wash all glass.

 

              Eaves - Wash and remove spider webs.

 

              Drains/Spouts - Unblock and clean.

 

              Paintwork - Attend to any flaking paint after discussion with your agent.

 

              Fences - Straighten, repair or repaint only after discussion with your agent.

 

              Junk/Rubbish - Remove all junk and rubbish, e.g. car parts.

 

              Pools/Ponds - Make sure these are clean.

 

                    Garage - Keep your garage door closed.

 

Interior Appeal
Having prepared the exterior of your home, turn your attentions to the interior.
Look over the following list of areas that deserve attention when preparing the interior of your property:

Clean/Remove clutter - Clean every room in your house thoroughly and remove any clutter. This has the effect of making your home appear bigger. You might even consider renting storage space whilst your house is on the market or even have a garage sale.

Also look into the following list:

              Carpet - Have your carpets steam cleaned.

 

              Painting - Painting chipped or dirty walls is said to give you the best value for money.

 

              Damage - Repair any damaged plaster, tiles, wallpaper, windowpanes, etc.

 

              Plumbing, heating and cooling systems - Inspect and repair. Fix any dripping taps.

 

              Floorboards - Attend to any creaky or loose floorboards.

 

              Doors/Windows - Make sure these open and close effortlessly.

 

              Knobs/Handles - Fix if loose, damaged or missing.

 

              Bench tops - Keep these clean and clear.

 

              Plants - Consider buying some indoor plants.

 

Now that your home is ready to go, its time to sell.

PLANTING and growing Autumn vegies

   Growing Tips:

· Growing your own vegetables can be done in garden beds, pots or containers, depending on the space you have available. Don’t be afraid to mix in some herbs or flowers to make the display more attractive.

· By planting the right combination of vegetables, herbs and flowers together, you can naturally ward off attacks from certain pests and diseases. This method of gardening is called companion planting.

· Decide if you want to grow your vegies from seeds or seedlings, there are advantages to both. Seeds are cheaper and you get a large amount and seedlings will establish quicker and guarantee better success.

   Why plant in autumn

              The soil is still warm and roots grow strongly

              Autumn plantings receive good rainfall in most parts of the country

              As the humidity decreases so does the chance of diseases

              Plants can establish themselves before the cold winter weather
