2 HECTARES ON HEPBURNS

Industry Comment

Open Homes make it easy for busy people to view your

property and can reduce disruption to your routine. – Remember you

don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

Tip 1 - Get Going Now

Don’t wait until your house is on the market and not getting any viewings or offers. This is the biggest mistake sellers make. Ensure that your home looks its absolute best the minute it goes on the market.

Tip 2 - The ‘D’ Word

De-Clutter. As we’ve got wealthier, we have acquired more and more 'stuff'. Not all homes were designed for a TV in every room, let alone the DVD player, the ’X’ box, and every sort of gadget you can think of. Having every surface covered with things makes the place look untidy and smaller.

The aim is to create ‘space in your place’ so don’t just shift it to another spot. If you don’t use it, lose it!

Tip 3 - The ‘C’ word

Clean. No one likes the idea of

living with other people’s dirt. If your home smells and looks clean you are creating a great environment for viewers. You want your viewers to be thinking about buying your home…not cleaning it.

Cleaning your home goes hand in hand with decluttering it. So get the bin, bags, dusters, sponges and rubber gloves out and get cleaning.

Like De-Cluttering, tackle a room at a time. Don’t forget to clean windows, they will let in a lot more light, and make the place feel brighter and bigger.

Polish door fittings, taps, sinks and anything that will add a gleam to your home.

By both decluttering and cleaning your home, you will have done two of the most effective things you can in preparing your home to sell. Don’t underestimate their importance.

Tip 4 - The ‘K’ word

Kerb Appeal. Viewers will be looking to see how well your home is turned out - does it pass the ‘first reaction’ test? How good does your home look compared to the others in the street? Does the gate work? Are the gardens looking good or full of weeds? Is the pathway clear or does it resemble an obstacle course, full of odds and ends, wheelie bins, the recycle box and the kid’s toys?

All these little details matter. They add up to a picture in the viewers mind… is this house welcoming, well looked after, appealing or is it a disappointment? Your neighbours may not be selling, but you don’t want your home to be seen as

a disappointment to the viewer because it doesn’t compare well with the neighbours.

Tip 5 - Do That DIY

Finish all the little odd jobs that need doing around the house. People notice and it is off-putting because they are seeing work, not their new home. They may also overestimate how much it will cost to fix. Dripping taps, faded walls or worn woodwork reduce appeal. Loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped drawers and minor flaws also detract from the value of the home. Have them fixed. Otherwise when seeing these things that need attention, costumers begin to worry about the things they can’t see.

Tip 6 - The Other ‘D’ Word

Depersonalise. This really goes hand in hand with de-cluttering and cleaning. Don’t distract the viewer with all of your bits and pieces. Take down the ‘Grade 4 piano’ certificates, replace that funny poem about farting in the bathroom, and thin out the photos in the living room.

All these will end up distracting the viewer, they will concentrate

on looking at things that tell them about you and not the house.

Keep bathroom personal care products out of view.

Tip 7 - Keep It Tidy

Selling is hard work because you have to be ready for ‘that’ viewing at any moment. This means that you really have to get into the habit of tidying away as you go along.

Washing should be in the laundry bin, in the machine or away in the cupboard. Don’t let your viewers have to negotiate a clothes airer in the bathroom or bedroom, it won’t leave a good impression. Likewise don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink or a pile of clean dishes on the draining board… clear it away.

Tip 8 - Make Each Room Count

It’s simple really. When buying we tend to look for a three bedroom house, a two bedroom apartment. i.e. we buy by the number of rooms.

What you want the viewers to do once they leave your home and go away to think about it and talk about it with their partner is to remember each and every room.

Make each room count. Give each

room a purpose or use so that your viewers can see how they could use it.

Property is expensive, make sure that yours offers the viewers good value for money.

Tip 9 - Grow the Space

Buyers are buying space. Space is a premium so you want to make the most of yours.

When selling your home think of ways of making the rooms look bigger.

Firstly, in your main rooms, try and thin out the furniture. If you have a number of side-tables and footstools could you move one or two out of the room - the more floor that can be seen the larger a room will feel.

Try and keep the lines of the room clean. Clear away stuff stored on top of kitchen and bedroom cupboards, these make a room feel over stuffed and suggest a lack of storage space.

Tip 10 - Light = Space

Think about trying to get as much light into your home as possible. Pull back the curtains and give the nets a wash.

Change light bulbs in all the appliances. Increase the wattage in those lights that illuminate internal spaces like hallways and bathrooms. (Don’t overload the appliances though). Even on bright days I like to have a little artificial lighting on to add some depth to the rooms.

NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL

Master Electricians and Master Plumbers

Master Electricians -While you may be able, as a

homeowner, to undertake some electrical work in your own home under certain conditions, the vast majority of homeowners will not be competent to meet these conditions, nor would they feel confident enough to put their family and property in danger.

If you find yourself in this situation you can call on the services of a Registered Electrician with a practising licence. As a member of the national body, The Electrical Contractors Association of New Zealand (ECANZ), a Master

Electrician has met the Master Electricians criteria.

The advantages of selecting a MASTER Electrician include:

1. The work undertaken by a Master Electrician backs the Master Electricians Guarantee Scheme offered by ECANZ. In the unlikely event of a problem relating to the quality of workmanship or safety, ECANZ will remedy defects up to a value of $10,000 if your original Master Electrician contractor will not.

2. A Master Electrician will thoroughly check and test their work. It’s part of their duties, no matter how big or small the job is.

3. Master Electricians Certificate of Compliance at the conclusion of the work is automatic. This certificate offers an assurance that the work has been carried out in a competent manner and demonstrates to your insurance company and potential buyer of your property that the work meets existing regulations and standards.

For more information, visit www.ecanz.co.nz

Master Plumbers – The Master Plumbers membership

is based on a company owner either being a certified tradesman or employing them.

To be certified, a plumber must first become a licensed plumber (gasfitter or drain layer) A person will become licenced after a four year apprenticeship and passing a Plumbers, Gasfitters & Drain layers Board registration exam. Following this and after working for another two years in the industry, tradesmen can then sit a further exam to enable them to be certified plumbers.

All members of Master Plumbers, Gasfitters & Drain Layers undergo a quality assurance programme which advises and provides each member

with current best business practices, standards, legislation, health & safety and customer service to name but a few. They also adhere to codes like the Master Plumbers Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct which promotes good trade and business practices and good relationships with clients.

When you use a Master Plumber, you can have comfort as the work comes with a consumer guarantee. This 12 month guarantee covers advance payment protection and substandard workmanship.
