Get your home ready

Now that you have decided to sell your house on your own, start with renovating the house. Make sure that your house is prepared for selling purposes. All the woodwork, ceilings, fittings, flooring are complete. Electricity, gas and water connection are attached and the paint job has been done too. Conduct a detailed survey of the house and look for all the minor damages that are done.  It might be a hole on the wall that is damaging the paint, weak fitting that effects the presentation of your house, or the rotten paint job that gives your house an ugly look which proves to be an afflict in the process of selling your house privately.
