I bought a property with my brother a year ago. The house is a large three br, two bath, two living with a big backyard in an area that is big for families. We got the house at a very good price so we made a little bit of money just signing the papers however in a years time I will be selling my half of the house to him and moving on.
The house is in great condition but it certainly needs some cosmetic work. It needs to be painted inside, some of the verandah is only half painted so that needs to be redone, it needs some missing skirting replaced, the ensuite bathroom is large and has a spa but it is all in that awful peach colour from the 80's so needs some redecorating and the carpet is pink with flowers through it ( ) PLUS - the curtains are pink and blue with large flowers ! Horrendous!
What can I do that is not going to cost a lot of money but may give me an extra thousand or two at settlement? Or should I just leave it all as there is so much to do? We are not selling through an agent, it will be valued independantly and that is the price we'll use when it's time to sell. Would an independant care if the decore is old and outdated?
