Looking for a bit of advice regarding a house I need to sell - basically we found a house we loved so put an offer in as chain free with the thoughts of renting out the house we were living in. My heart wasn’t really into renting it out, but I had family influencing me. Since moving out into the new house we have bought I just want to sell it - I don’t want the stress, and I don’t know if I would be a good landlord.
The house needs some work doing to it - list below! We were in the middle of slowly doing it up when we saw the house we were moving to and wanted to move.
New stair carpet, Bedroom 1 carpet
Painting walls/some new wallpaper where walls in bad way
Paint woodwork
Paint outside door
Kitchen is very old - thinking either completely redo as cheap as possible, leave completely, or maybe just paint cupboards, new lino?
Small hole in kitchen airtex ceiling where my husband knocked it with a mop (don’t ask!) and awful lights.
Front garden fence between us and neighbour has partially come down - it is their fence but I know they’re not able to replace. Do we ask if we can fix/replace/put new fence up next to theirs? It’s a long line and in bad condition
What is worth actually doing? It’s a 2 bed house, fairly popular area, probably best for FTB or landlords, or maybe people looking to extend (corner plot)
Any advice much appreciated
