Your questions, our answers. Q. Is it worth renovating my bathroom before I sell? Some people tell me that the purchaser will want to do it up themselves and it could be a waste of money. - Sammy A. The condition of the bathroom will be the factor when selling. Consider whether the purchaser will be able to live with the bathroom as is and renovate in a year or two. If not, renovating may be the best option. Q. Am I obliged to reduce the tenant’s rent while I’m selling an investment property? - Maddy A. You are not legally obliged to reduce a tenant’s rent to compensate them for the inconvenience of intrusions such as open homes. However, in unusually difficult cases, your agent may advise you to offer the tenant a temporary drop in rent in order to get their cooperation in presenting the property at its best. This reduction is totally discretionary. Q. How do I prepare my home to show nicely when ready to sell? - Fas A. Best idea is to speak to your agent. They’ll know the area best and can help direct you according to the type of buyer you’re hoping to attract. Always best to have a clear space for buyers to walk through the home easily. Q. What do I need to do on open home days? - Rebecca A. When preparing your property for an ‘open for inspection’ it is often a good idea to arrange furniture so that people can move through the home with ease. Any small valuable items should be placed away securely (thefts are extremely rare and the agent will be keeping an eye on your property but small items are the most at risk of going missing). On rainy days leave out extra doormats or towels for people to dry their feet on before entering your home. If you have flooring that could be easily damaged by dirt or high heels you should ask the agent to tell buyers to remove their shoes. Make sure all windows, curtains and blinds are open for maximum light and make sure you heat or cool the home where possible. Q. If I’ve accepted an offer, can I then accept a higher offer from another buyer? - Alfred A. Once you’ve accepted an offer, you may still accept a higher offer from another buyer prior to exchanging contracts. Once contracts have been exchanged, you are legally obliged to follow through with the sale. Accepting an offer from another buyer after a written offer and acceptance is known as gazumping and neither you or your agent are obliged to compensate the gazumped buyer for any out of pocket expenses.
