My parents are selling their house and downsizing to a smaller place. It is quote run down and will need a lot of work doing by the new owner- new kitchen, bathrooms, carpets, wallpaper/paint etc.
They are thinking of putting double-glazed windows in as a bare minimum before putting it on the market. Is it worth doing that, if any purchaser would be coming in knowing they will have to strip it down and do it up anyway? I think it is only worth doing the double glazing if it will increase the value of the property by at least double the cost of the double glazing. If they only get back what they put in (or not even that), then it's not worth the effort and disruption to them.
I know it's not an exact science, but do you think it is important to do the double glazing? Will it majorly put off buyers to see that they don't have it?
