Buying a property
Advice to buyers
It is a fact that there are very few home buyers who buy the home of their dreams and do not have to change anything. There is always something we would have done differently, these may be small changes, for instance, the wallpaper, the colour scheme or the carpets. Sometimes the changes we want to make involve larger tasks, such as the windows, the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom or perhaps the garden. The changes may even involve building or renovation work.
All too often when you view a property you see the house in its current state and this can put you off. It is important to remember that you must try to imagine how it can be and not how it is. The best way to view a property is to use a Viewing Record, list all the positive points of the property and list all the things you don’t like. Then in your own time, sit down and work out how much it would cost you to alter the property to your own tastes and requirements.
It the cost is inhibitive, but you really like the property, it may be worth while talking to Walker Phillips to see if the selling price could be renegotiated to accommodate your needs and desires, after all you have nothing to lose. At the end of the day the choice is yours, however in our many years, we have seen so many property transformations which have taken a sad and dilapidated property and turned it into a home anyone would be proud of. Think on, and view to the future, not the present.
