Don't Ignore the Bedrooms

Most people move house due to the lack of number or the size of the bedrooms in their current home, it is estimated that this figure is as high as 60% of all people who move do so because of bedrooms. Whether they are a growing family or a down-sizing one, the bedroom element is going to play an important part in their buying decision.

So when it comes to selling your house and getting the maximum return concentrate on the bedrooms, and if this means spending some money adding an extension to add a bedroom, it is worth it.

A simple rule of thumb is that adding a bedroom will help your house sell, a lot more than a study or playroom will. So when it comes to selling your house, remember make sure that all bedrooms have a bed in them, even if this means giving up your study for a few weeks. Its worth it.

Another point to remember is that its adults that are buying the house not the children, they will be interested in their needs. This comes in two ways.

1. Making the most of the master bedroom, after all this will be a sanctuary away from the kids for the new buyer with a family. So make it nice, new carpets, new curtains, new bedding will all help to sell this room and what great is you get to take it all with you (that is except the carpet)
2. Remember that people have families, so try to maximise the rooms for what they may be used for. Make the kids room look large enough for kids to play in, or the teenagers room cool enough even for the fussiest teenager.

Try to remember that people send a third of their lives sleeping and they want a nice relaxed place to do it. So spend extra time and effort on your bedrooms, and if this means spending some extra cash, do it, as most things you buy will simply be taken to your new house with you.
