Paignton, Devon
Charming and full of character, this 3 bedroom former police house was purchased by an investor client. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, the house was initially valued at much less than the mortgage arranged and a lot less than our client had intended to resell it for!
Although the bedrooms were of generous size and the house had lots of rooms downstairs, at first glance the living accommodation looked fairly small and without furniture it was difficult for viewers to ‘visualise’ how the property could look and how it could be lived in.
We arranged a full ‘show-home package’ of furniture and accessories for the house, completed a couple of small redecorating jobs and advised on the marketing and re-launching of the property onto the open market, via an open day
Our client was delighted (and so were we!) that in this time of the dreaded ‘credit crunch’ the house was very well received and resulted in 3 interested parties all offering on the house….and the final figure was £45,000 over the highest valuation!
