Indispensable assets in 2021

The pandemic has changed the purchasing criteria in 2021 and certain assets have become real crush triggers. Two tips to attract buyers in 2021:

Space to work 

Teleworking has become a new way of life. Show buyers the possibilities by thinking of a workspace. Make them project!

There are also rooms that are more important than others, rooms where you have to redouble your efforts to make everything flawless. The kitchen and the wardrobe are two rooms that should not be overlooked. They can make the difference.

 

Solutions for the negative points

Last point, you might have some difficulty creating a crush if you sell your property empty or if there is a lot of work to be done. 

Rooms without furniture

In the first case, selling an empty property can give a strange feeling of a “house without a soul”. In addition, visitors focus more on small flaws and may have difficulty in projecting themselves. To remedy all this, discover all our tips for valuing an empty property for sale.

Work to be done

In the second case, the work can be prohibitive for some or on the contrary a source of multiple possibilities of customization for others. What worries buyers the most are major jobs: roofing, plumbing, electricity, insulation… These jobs are expensive and investing in a property is already a good investment. To reassure them, anticipate requests for quotes to assess a budget so that your visitors integrate this notion into their project.
