Adding Value to a House Apr 27, 2011: In a busy sales market, then adding an ‘extra room’ outside through a patio or decking area, outdoor chairs, tables, lighting and cooking via a BBQ certainly will make your property more saleable, helping you to secure an offer quicker and it may increase the value slightly. In the current market which is still very much in the doldrums, then it might help you sell faster, but it’s unlikely to add any value.

What to ask the Agents to better understand your Local Property Market Aug 6, 2010: Estate agents are often given a bad rap by the media, but Kate Faulkner, one of the top UK’s property experts believe this is unfair and now a ‘myth’. “Just like not all of your work colleagues are great at their job, not all agents are brilliant at theirs.” Kate believes that most agents, if approached properly with sensible questions, will work really hard to help you and make sure you make the right decision, whether you are a buyer or a seller.

Open house sales are popular in places like Australia where if you want to sell your home, you have one or two days when people can come round and look at your home. It’s a good idea, especially if you have children or are elderly as you don’t spend every day on tenterhooks, trying to keep the home tidy and hoping that viewers who’ve booked to see your home come round.
