House Cleaning - The Benefits When It Comes To
Selling
Never overlook this aspect..............
A property in a very sought after location was on the market.
This property was a two bedded town house. The owner considered
that because of its location he would have no trouble selling it
and therefore it was not worth time or money in rectifying its
defects.
The house had previously been let. The tenants had disappeared
in the middle of the night owing several months rent. Rather
than re-let the property the owner decided to put it on the
market.
12 weeks later and after 50+ viewings not a single
offer had come in. The agent finally convinced the seller to
get the property cleaned up, its only defect!
This is when we, Sparkle Cleaning Services were called in.
Judging by what we found in the house the previous tenant had
been something of a regular drinker! Much of it was still
sticking to the kitchen floor! Also they were firm favourites
of fried food as the cooker hob was caked in a thick layer of
grease that had overflowed onto the floor and mixed with the
beer! All the window frames had a nice line in mould growing on
them, and most of the rooms had become an absolute haven for
spiders. The bathroom was unmentionable just leave it at
disgusting.
So our cleaning service team arrived on a Saturday morning
7.30am, 12 bin liners, two vacuum cleaner bags, 2 litres of
descaler, 1 litre of oven cleaner, 1.5 litres of heavy duty
degreaser, 3 litres of general purpose cleaner (with
bactericidal agents) and 50 + cleaning clothes later we were
putting the finishing touches to the property (11.15) when the
estate agency arrived with a potential purchaser for a viewing.
By 12.30 apparently the sale of the property had been agreed
upon for the full asking price. So the 140 pounds was a very
worthwhile investment!
Now very few houses put on the market are in that category but
most could benefit from a good deep clean and who wants to do
that before moving out?
