HI All We've all seen the 'my house won't sell' programs on the TV - where the expert swans in and with a few vases of flowers and a couple of candles here & there, miraculously converts an un-sellable house into something that's eagerly snapped up by the first family to view.
OK - so the TV programs are going to be 90% er .... fertiliser .... - but here's a question.
Our bungalow seems to be taking longer than we'd like to sell. It's set up at the moment for 'our' needs - has two double bedrooms (only one has a bed in it at the moment), one quite small bedroom (currently used as a 'hobbies' room) and a large 2nd bathroom with jacuzzi and power shower.
Our agent seems terminally clueless.... so I got to thinking.....
How about.... Ditch the jacuzzi. Put the fittings from the 2nd bathroom into the smallest bedroom - so we end up with 2 bathrooms - one with bath and one with power-shower. Turn the existing large bathroom into a good-sized double bedroom. 'Dress' the new double bedroom and the existing spare bedroom so that they look like bedrooms, rather than just 'spare' rooms.
Sounds like a lot of work, but I don't think it'd take all that long, and I can do the work myself.
Net result would be 3 double beds rather than 2 - only thing we'd lose is the jacuzzi.......
Of course - anybody buying the house could just as easily do this for themselves - but (if you believe the TV progs) potential purchasers don't have the necessary imagination to see this...
So - leave everything 'as is' - or put in a bit of d-i-y effort to make the place more saleable ? your opinions please.....
