Preparation should leave a home safe, functional and accurately presented for buyers.
Keep essential services available
Do not shut off all utilities before the campaign. Lighting, water and other services may be needed for occupancy, inspections and maintenance. Coordinate account closures or transfers with the move and settlement.
Prepare safely
Clean accessible areas, reduce clutter and arrange qualified help for necessary repairs. Do not pressure-clean asbestos roofing or climb onto the roof. Have your solicitor or conveyancer prepare the contract, and agree on pricing and marketing with the agent. A checklist supports organisation; it cannot guarantee the sale price.
