Repair or sell your house as is: how to decide

Compare the costs, time and possible effects before deciding what work to do before a real estate sale.

Distinguish necessary repairs from improvements

A maintenance issue, a safety concern and a cosmetic improvement do not necessarily call for the same decision.

Have technical items assessed by a qualified person and get an estimate for the work.

Weigh the cost, timing and logistics of the work against your timeline and situation.

Selling without doing the work does not exempt you from answering the applicable questions and declarations accurately.

Presentation, documentation and positioning can be adapted to the property’s actual condition.

Discuss the options with your broker and the relevant specialists; no scenario guarantees the price or the selling time.
