Preparation priorities
Preparing a house for sale
Prioritise repairs, presentation, documents and photography without assuming every improvement will pay back.
Decision principle
Fix buyer-stopping problems first; treat cosmetic spend as an investment needing a plausible return.
01
Resolve material issues
Identify maintenance, consent, title or compliance questions early.
- Ask what must be disclosed
- Collect relevant records
- Never conceal known defects
02
Improve the first inspection
Clean, declutter and repair obvious friction before more expensive cosmetic work.
03
Brief the campaign
Agree photography, floor plan, copy, signage and portal inclusions before approving spend.
