The new Finished Property Saleable Points Vol 3
By arlene | April 3, 2009
It is surprising how little imagination the average homebuyers have in this and other areas of decor—they instantly know what they don’t like when they see it, but are less sure about how they would have done it themselves. If you are unfortunate enough to have the more demanding kind of viewer looking at your property, it is worth remembering that invariably the most awkward ones are those who are least likely ever to get around to buying at all. It is really not worth spending hours with this kind of client and offering to make all kinds of alterations to get a sale. They are notoriously unreliable, and the next time they see you they will probably have changed their mind anyway. Fortunately, one learns how to spot them a mile off at an early stage of the game and behave accordingly.
The decision as to what to do with the floor treatment in the property is one of the trickiest of the project. It’s really for you to weigh up the cheaper alternatives against what really suits the `feel’ of the property best; we have sold flats with floors hard- boarded ready to receive carpets, but it’s a hit-and-miss business. The safest colours for fitted carpets are beiges.
Lighting. It’s tempting to let your imagination run riot on the lighting, with carriage lamps outside the front door, brass wall lamps in the living room, and panoramic strip lighting under the worktops in the kitchen. But your tastes may be different from those of your buyer, and it is not a pleasant business, in a complete conversion or renovation with neatly finished floors, to have to pull them up and re-run cables. This is what you will be faced with if your fabulously expensive wall lighting arrangements leave him or her cold and a centre ceiling light is preferred.
Unfortunately, any attempt at pre-wiring to cater for any of several different lighting positions still doesn’t solve the problem—in our experience things still seem to be ‘in the wrong place’. It is better to eat humble pie and stick with straightforward centre lamp positions as far as possible until you progress to catering for the penthouse set!
Consumer law
Consumer law has only a minimal effect on property sales. Once he has the surveyor’s report the buyer is deemed to be in possession of all the relevant facts regarding the property, and the purchase is then made ‘as seen and approved’.
However, if you have installed guaranteed items such as a damp-proof course, central heating, kitchen appliances etc, it may be necessary, as a condition of sale, to agree to repair or replace defective parts during the guarantee period, especially if you have installed these items yourself. So make sure you keep all receipts relating to guaranteed items in a separate file.
If you employed contractors to install, for example, central heating, the buyer of your property may have to arrange through you the implementation of any work under guarantee, as you were the one who initially paid for the installation.
Guarantees for damp-proofing and dry rot protection ought to be transferable to the owner of the property. The reason for this is that such guarantees are usually lengthy (20 years or more) and the property could be sold and resold several times during the guarantee period. So you should make sure when employing damp- proofing contractors that their guarantees are transferable.
You should offer guarantees to your buyer on anything which you bought or installed that carries a manufacturer’s guarantee. This may involve you in a little time but should cost you nothing more than the occasional phone call or letter.
In effect, every Point of Sale Systems (POS), Wi-Fi Audio Surveillance, Point of Sale (POS) Printers, Car DVD Players For Sale, Cheap Urban Planning and Real, Essentials of Business Law Manufacturer, New Year Party Drop Shipping, Wireless Security System, Language Courses Drop Shipping, Cheap Property Valuation: The Five, Law Textbooks, Call Contracts Supplier and Handcraft Supplies and Finished Pieces Wholesale wholesaling dropship products is basically understood to mean by supplying web drop shipping products in advance of payment.
