Doing up your condo to make it sell

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007 @ 8:22 am | Selling

There are one or two differences between condos and homes that make preparing condos slightly different to that of a house. When working with a condo, you don’t have an exterior to worry about, which means the entire buyers focus will be on the unit itself, therefore the vast majority of your time will be to make your unit look as inviting and friendly as possible. Yet depending on the type of condo you own, there are different ways to do this.

Firstly if you’ve bought your condo pre-constructions, you don’t have to worry too much about doing it up. It’s going to have all the modern amenities and modcons that everyone wants. The only advice would be to make sure you get some furniture in there, even if it’s just rented. Also at the same time, make sure the furniture fits as you don’t want just junk in there. You have to impress the buyers with what the condo could look like with a certain style, so they get a feel for it as a home, rather than a blank canvas.

If you’re condo is a few years older, then you’ve just go to make sure everything is in working order. Condos with a bit of age, will have experienced some wear and tear, but you don’t want your potential buyers to notice this, so it’s a good idea to have a look around and make sure it’s a condo that a buyer isn’t going to have to do any extra work on.

Finally, if your condo is a conversion, you may find you have a bit more work to do, especially if its over ten years old. Basically, you need to update everything in the apartment, like your kitchen and bathroom suit, yet don’t fret if you don’t have too much money. You can normally get away with just updating the style, so replacing cupboards, or work top surfaces may be just enough to bring in potential buyers.
