Let’s cover how to get the best price when you sell your Randburg property, even if it’s a little dated!

If you’ve owned your Randburg property for more than 10 years, chances are it’s seen a lot of life, and maybe a little wear and tear. That’s completely normal. But when it’s time to sell, even small signs of age can quietly chip away at your property’s value.

One Recent Randburg Property Sale Shows Exactly Why Condition Matters

This Randburg property, a townhouse, was in a sought-after complex and sold for R920,000 in April 2024. With a bit of modernising, it could easily have sold for R220,000 more. The bones were good, but after 12 years as a rental, it needed a facelift.

A Tale of Two Bathrooms

Dirk, the seller, had used the home as an investment property. After more than a decade of tenants, the bathroom was tired and mould had crept in, a common issue when windows stay shut. The buyer, Sandi, saw past the wear and snapped it up.

Just weeks after the transfer, Sandi renovated the bathroom for R29,000 in labour (plus materials). The transformation was incredible, the kind you’d see in a décor magazine. And the return on investment? Roughly R75,000 in immediate value, with the property now worth about R220,000 more than the original purchase price. Remember, buyers want “move-in ready.” Sellers want maximum return. The secret lies in preparation, and that’s where Cornerstone Homes comes in.
