Re: C band sattelite dish and my home value 2Jul 24, 2013 9:47 am I don;t think it decreases the value, it's not like a potential purchaser can't work out that it is removable. I think you have more trouble with design features of houses that can;t easily be changed. On the other side of the coin it won;t add any value to your house sale so if it is worth reasonable money to sell, it might be worth your while selling it prior to going on market (don;t know anything about them and if there is a market for them) just a thought. Re: C band sattelite dish and my home value 3Jul 24, 2013 10:10 pm Couple of ways to look at this issue: Whilst it is most probably easily removable with hours work an and a decent skip bin, the fact that something that is there that catches your visitors' eyes will also draw the attention of prospective buyers. If you get rid of it prior to sale and fix up/remove the mounting points it'll open the area up. If you leave it there, be aware that it may put some buyers off as they see it as extra work they have to do before moving in/renovating/renting. Suppose its a bit like the neutral colours thing when trying to sell a house-you want to make it as appealing to a broad a range of prospective buyers as possible. Then again a fan of satellite TV might just stroll up the driveway and it wins their heart. Re: C band sattelite dish and my home value 4Jul 24, 2013 10:33 pm It's a tough decision indeed. A portion of potential buyers would want the satellite; but it is too much of eye catching. have a look at this front photo: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5nm2EcSvmP5cDgxZW52VnpkLUE/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5nm2EcSvmP5bmltWFQ5V2dCTms Jasmine As a tradesmen get a private inspector although I don't think there worth it in their profession themselves the reminder they serve to the tradesmen doing the work is… 3 22414 They make the room much easier to clean for one, reflect more light (if light colour tiles are used), and you dont end up with dust on the top edge of tiles (cause most… 3 7740 The last home I lived in didn't have a pool and when i went to sell it the agents were not happy, even telling me to put one in to sell the place.
