DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THE HASSLE OUT OF MOVING?
With the housing market about to reach one of the busiest times of year could you do with a helping hand?
The right help can ensure your move is quick, painless and profitable.
Just the thought of moving house can bring most of us out in a cold sweat.
Time is such a valuable commodity these days that the thought of 101 new things to do can bring on palpitations.
It is easy to ignore all those little tasks that could and really should be done and the sooner the better.
This is just the reason why we are following in the footsteps of our friends across the water and choosing to use Property Presentation Companies, House Doctors and Home Stagers.
It is hard to miss the numerous television programmes telling us all how to present our properties well, how to make millions from property development or how to give our homes a complete make-over in under an hour. This is all well and good if you have the time and money and maybe a dozen or so handymen at the ready. Unfortunately for most of us this is just not realistic. So what should we do?
There are an increasing number of House Doctor Companies who can help sell your house quickly and often for more money. They normally offer a range of services from verbal consultations through to detailed reports and practical home staging days.
Although these companies charge from £100 upwards how would you feel about having to drop the price of your home by £10,000 in 6 months time because nobody could see its potential?
De cluttering alone can add value as can adding the right accessories. Plenty of light and space are crucial when selling a home. Even if your home doesn't have these in abundance there are ways of giving the illusion of increased light and space.
According to figures from the property website rightmove.co.uk for every buyer who walks into an estate agency there are 71 houses to view. Would your house stand out?
This is where the House Doctors come in.
A few tweaks and changes from a good house doctor and your home will appeal to a wider audience of people as well as being the one that they remember.
