Floor Protection Essential When Carrying Out Works To Help A Property Sell
House prices will tumble 14% by the end of the year, according to a report issued this week by the centre for economics and business research (CEBR).
With the prospect of a buyers rather than sellers market looming large for the next six months, a well presented, well maintained property stands a much better chance of being sold for a reasonable amount than one marketed as a work in progress.
Trio Plus, the temporary floor protection specialists, advise homeowners having difficulty generating interest in their property to bite the bullet and freshen up the interior in order to have the best possible chance of making a sale.
Richard Scrannage, Managing Director of Trio Plus, said: “For homeowners who need to sell their house, there are so many depressing reports, stats and figures floating about that it can be extremely difficult to work up any enthusiasm for extra sinking money into renovations and home improvement.
“Not only have the CEBR projected further drops in prices but generation rent also published this week shows 2/3rds of non homeowners are uncertain about getting a foot on the property ladder and may well continue to rent rather than buy. All of this means homes being put up for sale need to look as good as possible in order to stand a chance of finding a buyer.”
While big changes such as new bathrooms and kitchens top many a buyer with list and are thought to add the most to the value of a home, other smaller tweaks can also make the difference with a new coat of paint, landscaping in the garden, loft conversions or new energy efficient boilers and insulations also helping to make a property more desirable. The key is to save money on non-essential improvements and that means making existing features are adequately protected during any works.
When builders move in to carry out improvements intended to help a property sell, it is important that adequate hard floor protection and temporary carpet protection are used. Protecting flooring from paint spills and builders mess removes the need to splash out on new laminate or carpets. This helps to shave cash off the renovation budget and makes the eventual asking price of the house that much more profitable.
The Trio Plus temporary hard floor protection fleece protects hard words from spillages with a felt topside and polythene backing soaking up liquids and providing a barrier against spillage before they can penetrate through to the floor itself. As the rolls are reusable they are also a cost effective floor protection solution in properties with wide scale changes being made or in the case of a move followed by works in the new house.
Carpets can also be damaged by fluid, paint spills and the dirt and dust associated with home improvements those intending to sell can ensure the house remains in a ready to be viewed state by applying a temporary carpet protector the Trio Plus temporary carpet protection film provides 45 days worth of cover and can be applied by hand or by applicator it is suitable for use in any area of the home where carpet is present including the kitchen, hallway and stairs. A heavy duty version is also available.
All Trio Plus floor protection products are eco-friendly and do not leave a residue when removed.
