Home staging:what work to do to sell your house?

Remove personal items

Decoration that is too personalized can scare off potential buyers. Thus, the head of your framed children is certainly your greatest pride, just like your beach vacation immortalized in a photo frame, but all these elements remind the buyer that there is life currently in the house and that the latter is not theirs. It is therefore necessary to remove personal items to ensure a neutral decoration, which makes the accommodation more accessible to people from the outside.

Redo the paintings

The paintings represent 80% of the visible surfaces on the walls and ceilings and it is advisable to have both paintings in good condition but also neutral colors, that is to say a large majority of white, gray (RAL 7035) or beige to allow the buyer to plan and personalize the interior himself. It should be noted that painting work can also help to eliminate any traces of humidity. See the website mon-devis-peinture.fr to obtain an estimate from a local craftsman to redo your interior and/or exterior paint.

Maintaining the garden

If the sellers always have in mind the interior of the house for the work, the exterior plays an important role and the garden must be taken care of when there is one. It is therefore advisable to mow the lawn, remove weeds, clean the terrace, walkways and any masonry element with a high-pressure jet. It is also possible to call on a landscaper to carry out maintenance of the exterior on an ad hoc basis, or even to ask him to create landscaping to give even more value to the house.

Clean the roof

The roof is important, it is the first element of insulation of the house against the weather, that is to say against the rain, the wind and the cold. A poorly insulated roof or one with porous tiles can cause serious damage inside the house, so this is the part to take care of. It must be cleaned with anti-foam, which can be applied with a pole or by using a roofer's ladder and a sprayer. If the tiles are porous, it will be necessary to plan to redo the entire roof and this can be very expensive.

Furnish with fitted furniture

It is now possible to find fitted kitchens or bathroom furniture for reasonable prices, especially in DIY stores. An equipped kitchen can be a trigger for a sale because it is the favorite room of the French, it must therefore be taken care of and if possible, invest in an equipped kitchen which will bring added value to the house.
