One thing that people are always keen to know is how to add value to their home. There are nearly endless ways to do that, so in this article, I will just focus on one area: the home’s exterior.

  1. Clean up the driveway – Buyers like to see a well-maintained driveway meaning easy access to parking areas. Make sure it is well paved or tarmacked and also consider adding some decorative touches. This can include planting flowers along the edges.
  2. Add outdoor lighting – This will make sure your home doesn’t look gloomy for evening showings. It also adds security and means buyers know they won’t have to stumble around in the dark to enter.
  3. Repaint the front door – This is a big part of the visual appeal of your property. Remember to pick a colour that the majority of people will like.
  4. Do some work on the backyard – This can range from full-blown to landscape to just spending some time to tidy up beds and mow the lawn.

👋 Today, we're discussing the crucial legal aspects of buying or selling a property. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced seller, these tips will help you confidently navigate the complexities. 📜 Contracts: Every deal starts with a contract. I ensure all terms are clear and documented to prevent any confusion. Remember, everything needs to be in writing to avoid disputes later. ⚠️ Avoid Disputes: We clearly list which appliances or fixtures are included or excluded to prevent misunderstandings and disputes after the sale. It's essential to ensure both parties have the same expectations. 🔍 Disclosures: Full transparency is key for sellers and buyers. Sellers must disclose any known issues with the property. Buyers, these disclosures are for your protection—review them carefully. 🔎 Title Searches: Essential in real estate transactions, title searches confirm the seller's ownership and uncover any issues like easements and covenants that might affect your use of the property. 🌟 Navigating the real estate market can be complex, but let my 30 years of experience work for you. I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Contact me for a seamless transaction backed by professional expertise and local knowledge. 📞 778.835.8957 - https://calendly.com/andyschildhorn
