5. Small changes
It might sound obvious, but make sure to fix anything broken. Doors that don’t shut properly, holes in walls, peeling wallpaper and leaking taps are just some of the things that can turn off buyers and are relatively easy to fix.
Consider changing the kitchen and bathroom handles. This is an inexpensive and easy way to modernise these key rooms. Also, fix any leaking taps and oil creaky hinges.

We have contractors working hard to keep Marine Drive open tonight by clearing debris washed up by the nasty weather we've had today. There is also a lot of water on Port Road and it has been closed, contractors will be working hard overnight to clear it so it can be opened in the morning.

One easy move which ramps up the visual appeal and saleability of a property is tackling the garden. Try to make sure the property appears low maintenance as this appeals to buyers.

3. Paint rejuvenation
Revitalising a property with a good paintjob is a sure way to boost its attractiveness while modernising it and adding value. Choose light, neutral colours and don’t forget to paint ceilings and cupboards, too.
Also, it pays to paint the front doorway and door if required as this will improve a buyer’s first impression. Re-staining decks is also a fairly simple move which can make a big difference to the overall appeal of a property.
Hi does anyone have kittens? My kids would love to have one. If anyone can assist that would be great.
