House Cleaning -
The
Benefits When It
Comes To Selling
Never overlook this aspect..............
A property in a very sought after
location was on the market. This property was a two bedded
town house. The owner considered that because of its
location he would have no trouble selling it and therefore
it was not worth time or money in rectifying its defects.
The house had previously been let. The
tenants had disappeared in the middle of the night owing
several months rent. Rather than re-let the property the
owner decided to put it on the market.
12 weeks later and after 50+ viewings not
a single offer had come in. The agent finally convinced the
seller to get the property cleaned up, its only defect!
This is when we, Sparkle Cleaning
Services were called in. Judging by what we found in the
house the previous tenant had been something of a regular
drinker! Much of it was still sticking to the kitchen floor!
Also they were firm favourites of fried food as the cooker
hob was caked in a thick layer of grease that had overflowed
onto the floor and mixed with the beer! All the window
frames had a nice line in mould growing on them, and most of
the rooms had become an absolute haven for spiders. The
bathroom was unmentionable just leave it at disgusting.
So our cleaning service team arrived on a
Saturday morning 7.30am, 12 bin liners, two vacuum cleaner
bags, 2 litres of descaler, 1 litre of oven cleaner, 1.5
litres of heavy duty degreaser, 3 litres of general purpose
cleaner (with bactericidal agents) and 50 + cleaning clothes
later we were putting the finishing touches to the property
(11.15) when the estate agency arrived with a potential
purchaser for a viewing.
By 12.30 apparently the sale of the
property had been agreed upon for the full asking price. So
the �140 was a very worthwhile investment! Now very few
houses put on the market are in that category but most could
benefit from a good deep clean and who wants to do that
before moving out?
