Getting The Best Price for your House

Research has shown that spending as little as £200 on your home can increase its selling price by up to 10%. And in todays current market this is very important indeed.

Take a fresh look. Ask someone to give you an unbiased opinion about your property.
First impressions do count! Does the front door need a fresh coat of paint? Does the garden look appealing?

Is your home clean and uncluttered? Special attention should be given to bathrooms and the kitchen.

If you have a spare bedroom, ensure it looks like a bedroom, and not a dumping ground.

Create good lighting. Add table lamps, uplighters. Turn the lamps on for viewings. Cleaning your windows can instantly brighten up the room.

Ensure the master bedroom looks inviting – sumptuous, and if you have a graden make the most of it.

True Colours Interiors recently helped sell a two bedroom apartment in Horsham. The estate agent valued it at £150,000. We advised the client to put in a new kitchen, and change the colour scheme. We also made a few small changes to the lighting and accessories. This cost a total of £5000.00
The client sold her apartment to the first couple through the door for a price of £165,000.

A good result indeed!

One Down, One To Go

One bathroom has been completed, and what a transformation. Flooring was Priory Oak from Amtico, the shower was an off set curved shower from Novellini. Cabinets and doors were from Howdens.

The luxury bathroom is around three weeks away from completion - tiling still ongoing (the tiler counted the small mosaic tiles and reliably informed me there were 2204! and then the electrics will be completed along with the installation of the sanitary ware (I cant wait to see the beautiful Fired Earth bath in situ. Then last of all Dave the Decorator arrives for the decorating.

I'm Back

I have been so busy over the last couple of weeks I have been unable to update my Blog - so at last I am back.

The last two weeks have seen the finish of one of the bathrooms we have been working on, and the other nearing completion! Tiles are on walls, TV is set into the wall and floor tiles just going in. It is looking fab - I shall post more up to date pictures next week.

Yesterday saw me doing something a lttle different - a fashion show! I had to model clothing in aid of the charity - CHASE - St Christophers Hospice for Children - a most worthwhile cause. What a fab time we had as well as raisign funds for the Charity.

Next week is an interesting one - I am visiting a Funeral Parlour to look at refurbishing their premises, and installing a new Chapel of Rest. It is always great to work on something a little different so I am really looking forward to this.

I have also put forward my proposal for the design of the interior of a 7-bedroom Victorian house - fingers crossed!!

I promise to write a little more next week.
