Are you thinking about selling your home? If so, then it’s important to take the time to complete the necessary work. Otherwise, buyers will essentially see your property as a fixer-upper. The problem with fixer-uppers is that no one is going to pay full market value for one. That means that you’re going to have to contend and settle for some low ball offers. You want to avoid this if you can and we can help. We can make sure that you will be able to sell your home fast and for the right price. All you need to do is make sure that you are fixing these key issues that could be dragging the value down.

3 Home Issues That Must Be Fixed Before You Sell

Pest Infestation

Yes, it is possible that you have a bug infestation. This can be minor - ants in the kitchen, or major - a wasp infestation in the attic. It doesn’t really matter which though because both must be dealt with long before you move. To do this, we recommend that you think about hiring pest control. That’s because you need to make sure that you get every last one. As well as this, you need to guarantee that the cause of the problem is rectified as well. This is where a lot of homeowners can slip up and you need to be careful here. It’s about filling in the gaps where the bugs are creeping in or tackling the nest. An infestation expert can help you do all this and more the right way.

Damaged Roof

Yes, you do need to take a look at that roof too. It’s easy and often common to assume that home buyers won’t notice a problem with the roof. After all, how often do you look up at the roof of your home? Not very often right? Of course, the roof is actually part of the curb appeal for buyers so it’s one of the first things they check out. If there are any issues here, it may stop them from buying completely. It’s a hazard, an eyesore and a big red light for buyers. It’s also often cheaper to fix an issue with the roof rather than giving it a chance to get worse and causing your house to reach an unsellable point.

Poor Insulation

You might be able to trick buyers by turning up the heating to the max. But buyers are quite savvy these days and will often notice if your house feels warm because you have all the radiators up to a boiling point. So, you may want to consider fixing up the insulation. While this can often cost at least a few thousand. It may improve the actual value of the home a great deal. At the very least, get a few quotes and find out just how much it would be to replace and upgrade the windows of the property.

We hope you find these tips useful when you are looking to sell your property. Make these changes and you’ll be able to get the great price you need for your home.
