Renovating Before Selling? Read This First!
Thinking of renovating your home before selling? Stop right there—especially if you might sell within the next seven years.
Renovations, big or small, can be a double-edged sword when it comes to your property’s resale value.
As a real estate expert with over 10 years of experience, I’ve seen countless building inspections uncover hidden issues in seemingly flawless renovations. These problems can derail a sale, especially if proper compliance certificates weren’t obtained during the renovation process.
Here are three crucial tips to safeguard your investment:
- Hire Licensed Tradespeople: Always ensure the professionals you hire are licensed to perform the work.
- Get Compliance Certificates: Demand all necessary certificates before making final payment.
- Store Certificates Safely: Keep them in an accessible, secure location for future reference.
Remember, without these documents, a lack of compliance can become a costly headache when it’s time to sell.
