Having a to-do list is something we can all relate to when it comes to the weekend grind. Whether its washing the car, doing the lawns or the usual weekend tidy-up, there’s always something to keep you busy. As life gets on, there’s the little things around the property that you will always get around to doing but left unchecked, those little things like the crack in the window, chipped skirting board, start to add up.
If you had to sell tomorrow, would your home be at it’s best?
Putting aside the presentation aspect for a moment given a home is a home and not a display center, maintenance jobs left unchecked can take thousands off your home’s value even when they don’t cost thousands to fix!
A property checklist is an essential piece! Like the usual shopping list, a maintenance list is essential reminder and a go to for adding anything that comes up.
1) Keep walls clean. A mark here and there will add up overtime and eventually lead to a new coat of paint.
2) Keep on top of the garden. The outside space is a big opportunity to showcase outdoor entertaining. Left unchecked, it can be a big task if you were planning to go on the market.
3) De-clutter and collate. Its amazing how much stuff we accumulate overtime and an over cluttered home can take away one of the biggest selling points your home has to offer… Space!
