Property Solutions to Sell Your House Fast For Market Value
Only buy a house with a shared driveway if it has an easement for a right of way across it and there’s a shared driveway maintenance agreement and sinking fund to take care of the ongoing repairs and maintenance. Make enquiries of any disputes that may have arisen over the driveway with neighbours.
There’s nothing wrong in buying a house with an old boiler, as long as you have the funds to replace it if it fails. It’s worth offering less on the property to reflect this fact or reduce your offer if the old boiler is picked up in the survey, but the vendors don’t have to accept your low offer.
North facing garden means that if you stand in the back garden with your back to the house and look straight out, you’ll be facing the north. In order to know if you are facing north you will need to use a compass to check the direction, which can be done using an app on your smartphone.
If it’s a choice between a bigger house or bigger garden you should find a house with the biggest garden you can afford with a house that’s big enough to accommodate the size of your family. If the house is smaller than you want but big enough for now, if the garden is big enough you can extend.
Houses with small gardens will sell to homeowners who are not keen gardeners and who don’t need a lot of outside space. What’s more important is the fact the house has a back garden despite it’s size, as since the Covid pandemic outside space has become increasingly important.
North facing gardens are bad if you love sunshine and bright gardens. They get less sunshine, especially in the winter months, which is bad because the lawn will struggle to grow and is particularly noticeable across the back of the property. Plus the rooms at the rear of the house will be dark.
