Five fixes that pay back, and three that never do.
Most pre-sale spending is wasted. Buyers do not pay for your taste; they pay for light, order and the absence of doubt.
Five fixes that pay back: paint in one warm neutral, fix every dripping tap and sticking door, clear the terrace and dress it, service the pool or the boiler and keep the paperwork, and photograph at the right hour.
Three that never do: a new kitchen in someone else's style, an extension started but not finished, and a price set to test the market.
Do the small things, present the house at its best hour, and let the buyer imagine the rest. That is where the premium lives.

Most of the homes we place never reach the listing. A twenty-minute call is enough to start.
