**Moving into a retirement village and getting ready to sell your family home? 🏡**
When you've lived in a home for 20, 30 or even 40 years, there are often little jobs you've learned to live with.
But when it comes time to sell, **buyers notice them.**
Before putting your home on the market, it can be worth looking at the property through a buyer's eyes:
🔨 Are there small repairs that have been put off?
🎨 Could tired or damaged areas use some attention?
🚪 Do doors, gates, fences or fixtures need repairing?
🌿 Does the garden need a good tidy-up?
🗑️ Are there years of belongings or rubbish to clear?
🏠 Are there areas around the home that simply look worn or unfinished?
You don't necessarily need a major renovation before selling. In fact, spending heavily can risk overcapitalising. Often it's the smaller repairs, maintenance and presentation improvements that can help make a home feel cared for and ready for its next owner.
That's where Handy Hans can help.
