let the light in to make the room feel more airy and more spacious. paint the rooms in your house in neutral colors. Painting it in neutral color is one of the most effective ways of adding value to any house and one of the cheapest and easiest to achieve. clear the 'junk' because nobody want to view a property if all the rooms are full, it puts you in a bad light and might make the viewers think there is a lot more work they need to do to make it their own. fix all outsatnding repairs. depersonalise your home. put excess furniture in storage. rearrange your rooms to give the illusion of more space. clean the house. clean the garden. make the front of your house as attractive and inviting as possible.

The most important thing you should do before you buy a home is have the home inspected. One or more professional inspectors should look for defects or malfunctions in the building's structure, such as the roof, plumbing, or foundation, and detect pest infestations or dry rot and similar damage. The seller may have chosen an inspector who's not known for rooting out problems.

A home inspection is an objective visual analysis of a homes structure. An inspection will determine the areas of a home that are not performing properly. Inspections will include areas of the homes interior and exterior from the roof to the foundation and the exterior drainage and retaining walls. Before paying for a professional inspection, you can conduct your own informal inspection.

What dollar amount has the bank offered to accept in the short sale? Keep in mind all of the fees and any potentially unexpected costs that will be on top of the amount the bank will accept in the short sale agreement.

One of the first things that you should do when viewing your prospective new home is to check the light switches and outlets to see if there are any problems with them. You really do not have to be an electrician to know that hanging wires and flickering means there is electrical problems somewhere.in dubai i am also facing this problem during rent an apartment.

Home buyers have it drilled into their heads that they need to get a home inspection. In California, for example, real estate agents advise home buyers to do a home inspection 15 ways from Sunday. Our purchase contracts contain two pages that talk about doing a home inspection, and those two pages are repeated in the buyer's broker agreement. That's just for starters.A home buyer does not close escrow without hearing about the need for a home inspection. But what does a home inspection report disclose? Home buyers are often clueless about home construction and its components, and have difficulty deciphering home inspection reports. Many don't know how to figure out which types of defects are serious or whether their home inspector checked all the essentials. But, by George, they got that home inspection!

Plumbing: The plumbing should be functional and without problems. Leaks, backed up drains, and other issues should be pinpointed using the checklist.
Electric System: This should include items beyond the wiring but also extend to light fixtures and any other semi-permanent electrical fixtures.

A thorough home inspection can detect any potential problems. That's why it is important that everything is checked. Things that need to be inspected in a home inspection are;
Structural Components, Exterior Components, Roofing, Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps, Interior and Insulation and Ventilation
