Case Study - Maintenance For Tomorrow Leads To Immediate Sale
15 November 2007
As the property market gets tougher, with less buyers and interest, it is important that clients make sure that their void properties are attractive in appearance as well as price.
movewithus manage the sales for property owners 'Tomorrow', who recently made full use of movewithus’ maintenance services. One of their properties in Oundle, Northamptonshire had been sitting on the market for a year without any offers. The property was in bad disrepair and Tomorrow decided to employ the services of movewithus’ maintenance department.
Gary Putnam, property technician at Tomorrow, said; “The walls and amount of work required at the property were putting off potential buyers. It needed upgrading and a complete redecoration”
Tomorrow contacted movewithus' maintenance department who arranged for an inspection to be completed including a full report and quote on the price of renovation. The quote was broken down into sections, giving Tomorrow the ability to choose which individual repairs they required and how much each section would cost.
Putnam commented; “movewithus repaired the walls and also added new doors, tiles in the bathroom and changed the worktops in the kitchen, along with new flooring throughout. They made sure the whole process was completed quickly and the property was clean and presentable for marketing after the job was finished”
Just two weeks later, Tomorrow had an offer on the property – £15,000 above the market price before renovation.
Putnam added; “What most impressed me about the movewithus service was its simplicity. They took care of everything - from finding builders and decorators in the area to making sure the job was completed as quickly as possible. With us not being based in the area, it was essential that we knew that we were using reputable workmen with a good standard of finish. By using movewithus it gives us greater confidence in the standard of work done and transparency.”
