Which repairs should you make before selling your house?

Prioritize maintenance, safety and presentation before investing in renovations to sell.

Start with maintenance and safety

First address the items that affect the use or safety of the property, and keep the invoices for the work done.

An inspection or a professional opinion can help prioritize repairs rather than renovating blindly.

For each project, assess the cost, the time required and how it serves your selling goal.

An improvement does not guarantee a higher price. The impact depends on the property, the area and buyers’ expectations.

Document the work and describe precisely what was done.

For declarations and obligations related to the property, seek advice from the appropriate professional.
