When the time comes to sell your house, it’s time to look at it with fresh eyes. Of course, it is natural to become accustomed to the look of the place you’ve been living in, possibly for years. The familiarity makes it pleasant and comforting, so it’s easy to overlook things like fading and weathering – both outside and inside – from the intense Australian sunlight. There are also many small signs that may remain from past remodelling, the marks left by furniture, scuffs from people walking about, more scuffs from pets running around, and simple wear and tear. Pre sale house painting will turn any house into a fresh canvas for the new occupants. It’s one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to enhance visual appeal and increase property value.
We use our long experience to identify areas that will benefit from touch-up or more extensive repainting, as well as those that may reasonably be left in their current condition, so you get the best value from your pre sale house painting. We are a well-established painting company with a history of successful jobs and a long list of happy clients. Contact us on 1800 772 774 for more information, or book a colour consultation online.
Increase Property Value with Pre Sale House Painting
The First Look is the Important One
When your potential buyers first pull up to your house, before they even come inside, it should stand out as a special place. Buyers will most likely have been spending a lot of time looking at houses. Most of them will have been similar in many ways, and none of them spoke up and said “Buy Me!” – or the buyers would be moving in over there rather than looking at your house.
The first time they see your house, buyers are already making up their minds about how it will enhance their lives. As they come up the walk and then when they come inside, they should be struck immediately by how good it makes them feel to be there. The benefits of house painting thoughtfully brought to bear and made visible both outside and inside will bring out the best of the house – nothing else will so easily increase property value and create the “Wow” factor you want your buyers to experience.
Seeing What Isn’t There
As your buyers take the guided tour through your house, they’ll be taking in everything for the first time. No matter how many houses they’ve looked at, yours is different, and they’ll be going primarily by the feeling they’re getting rather than making a detailed point-by-point analysis. Probably no other purchase of such expense and importance is subject to such limited scrutiny.
When you’ve engaged professionals for comprehensive pre sale house painting, the place looks almost untouched – it’s bright and clean inside and out, and quite notably neutral about its history. The buyers don’t see faded paint, weather-checked woodwork, a faint but visible water stain from that time the tub overflowed, or the scuffed paint from years of boot marks on the back steps – because those things and the others like them have been addressed by skilled professionals. The benefits of house painting are at once obvious but hard to notice. Your buyers would probably not be able to say exactly why your house is so different – because it’s what’s not there that makes it that way. They just know they really like how your house makes them feel.
Perceived Value is a Fresh Coat of Paint
When it looks right, it must be right. The most solidly built and best-maintained property will struggle against incorrect perceptions when grime, damage, and the scars of the years that any house collects have to be looked past to find the advantages behind them. Value becomes obvious when the surface impression is a good one.
Houses Are Homes
A house is more than a way to keep the rain off. We all know this, but it is easy to underestimate the importance of that in preparing for a sale. You are selling more than a well-built, attractive structure. You’re selling the setting for a family’s new life – just as it has been the setting for yours.
When it’s time to raise the curtain on a new act in the history of your house, you want it to impress the audience, to show itself off as unique and compelling, to welcome potential buyers – and most importantly, to draw them in and make them feel like they are already home.
