My self and my DH have a small stake in a house through inheritance that is going to be put on the market.
It's in a good state but could do with a few blown windows (just the glass) replacing, having a new bath (just the bath - sink toilet are fine) and having the loft converted (straightforward conversion as windows and lots of the boards have already been put in).
One EA has valued it at 265k, but with this work done they say it would go for 310k.
We've had three builders in and the quotes came in near the same and the average is 16k.
This doesn't seem right that 16k of work would add 45k, I understand they wouldn't have the hassle of doing it but I would of thought this would save maybe 5k - not 30k.
Does this seem right?
If it is then we may as well spend a few weeks doing the the work before selling it.
