Do you want to get the best price when you sell a Randburg property? Without a doubt, there are two things that sell a home on face value and these are:
- A kitchen that has been modernised over time.
- A bathroom that has been modernised over time.
If You Want The Best Price, Kitchens and Bathrooms Sell a Randburg Property
If you are stuck with a more ‘vintage’ look there is ample room and many buyers that would be interested in putting their own stamp on an older home that needs modernising. I always use this example for an older vintage look. A recent sale in Malanshof for R920,000. My buyer, spent about R30,000 and increased the value of her new property, a sectional title unit in Malanshof by well over R60,000 if not more. Here are some pics to show the before and after pics.
12 Years of Rentals For This Poor Little Randburg Property
The bathroom upstairs looked dreadful. Over the years the walls had been painted but with the wrong paint. And the first impressions were, well let’s just say, NOT GOOD. Sandi my buyer saw the potential and invested R30,000 into this original bathroom on a unit in a complex that was built over 30 years ago.
The After Pics That Elevated The Value Of This Randburg Property
Now this bathroom will sell a home. But there are definitely buyers who will want to buy with the intention of ‘doing it up’. If you want to get the best price for your Randburg property allow for:
- The current condition of the property or the unit. Is it modern or is it vintage? The quality of the finishes speaks volumes to getting a great return on your investment. If the finishes are good and modern, you will get the best asking price for your Randburg property.
- Allow for the work that still need to be done. Chances are there are properties or units on the market that are in similar conditions.
How Can I Improve The Value Of My Randburg Property?
Sandy and Nicole from Cornerstone Homes are often asked what needs to be fixed to make a good first impression. These little tips include:
- Any repainting inside or outside the property should be done in white. It’s also a little cheaper to buy white and its easy to maintain.
- Bathroom tiles can be painted, but please paint them white but use a professional to get a great quality finish.
- Tiles in a bathroom can be re-grouted and please choose white and finish with a grout sealer. It makes such a difference.
- Kitchen and bathroom cupboards with broken hinges should be fixed.
- Carpets to be cleaned before the property is listed for sale.
- Declutter the property as much as possible.
- Get the garden sorted.
- Change the lightbulbs which have blown.
- Change the cupboard door knobs if need be and this as small as it seems makes such a difference.
- Get your best linen and towels out, especially for the photo shoot.
- Open the windows to let in light.
- Sort out the pool.
- Honestly if these things can get some attention, chances are you will already be doing better on the asking price when you sell if you get some basics in play.
