If you’re looking to sell your property to gain the maximum value from the sale, chances are you’ll want your home looking its best. “Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses” is the mantra we’ve heard time and time again from the likes of Kirsty Alsopp and Phil Spencer. They often advise spending cash on getting your property up to scratch before you go to market – but who wants to spend a tonne of cash updating something they’re never going to use?
Not many people, that’s who.
Respraying fitted kitchens
That’s why respraying your kitchen or built in bedroom furniture is a sensible idea for anyone whose home needs an update but who doesn’t want to shell out on a complete refurb. Here’s why…
Respraying a fitted kitchen adds value, which you can then recoup when you sell. It can also mean that you are not left vulnerable to having to except a low offer as a last resort if you need to sell your home. This is especially true if there are other similar properties in the area that look more modern internally than yours.
Houses up for sale with dated rooms can potentially languish on the market for months and months. Yet houses up for sale of similar size that have been updated with light and modern rooms are flying off the shelves for more money. Just take a look at Rightmove.
When potential buyers look at property websites and see houses with dark and dated kitchens, although they have good quality fitted kitchens and bedrooms that cost a fortune, the fact that they are so outdated can be very off-putting.
Buyers look at these images and see the additional cost of funding a replacement kitchen on top of the purchase price and fees of buying the property. And then, of course, there is the irritation of the disruption caused in the process. All this understandably will again put them off.
It’s much more attractive to potential purchasers if the work has already been done, so even if it’s not entirely to their taste it won’t need replacing immediately.
At Creative Kitchen Resprays, we can give you an idea of cost quickly and simply over the phone. It’s easy, all you need to do is count up the number of doors and drawer fronts that there are and then phone us on 07905 811825 with this information.
