Are you planning to sell your house in Australia? As a seller, you may be wondering if you need to hire fully trained professional cleaners to clean the house before handing it over to the new owners. While the answer can vary depending on the state or territory where your property is located, in most cases, the seller is expected to present the house in a good and clean condition to the buyers.
So in this blog, we'll find out whether cleaning before sale is really a requirement. We'll also look at the consequences of leaving your personal items in a house when you sell it and the advantages you can get when you choose to hire professional cleaners before sale. Through this blog, we hope to provide you with the necessary information regarding the responsibilities of an individual when it comes to selling their house in Australia.
According to Australian law, the seller of a house is not obligated to have the premises cleaned before selling. However, it may be beneficial for them to have the property professionally cleaned to present it in its best light and increase its appeal.
Hiring a professional cleaner to perform a thorough cleaning of the premises can help to ensure that all areas of the house are tidy and dust-free before potential buyers inspect it. Professional cleaners are fully trained to provide a complete cleaning service, including vacuuming, mopping, and polishing of furniture and surfaces to present your home in its best condition.
By having your property cleaned, you can surely make it more attractive to prospective buyers and increase the chances of selling your house quickly.
In Australia, there is a property transaction called "Physical Vacant Possession" that states if the former owners left items in the house, the new owners have the right to keep, sell, or dispose the items without compensating the seller for any costs or inconvenience.
However, depending on the agreement or contract between the buyer and seller, the former owner may be able to take possession of their items before the settlement date. In this case, it is important to check with a lawyer or real estate agent before leaving anything in your house as the laws vary from state to state. In any case, it is best practice that the previous owners should have taken all their belongings before handing over the property to the new owners.
Hiring professional cleaners to clean your house before selling is beneficial for several reasons:
A good first impression is a key factor in successfully selling your home. Most potential buyers will judge the house from the moment they enter, so it’s important to make sure that it is tidy and well-maintained. Cleaned walls, floors and windows can make a home look much brighter and more inviting. Thus, increasing your chances of selling quickly and for a good price.
When selling a personal property, you want to sell it as high as you possibly can. One of the best ways to do this is by making sure it is clean, presentable, and looking its best. Cleaning a house before selling not only improves its aesthetic appeal but it can significantly increase its sale price.
When potential buyers get impressed after seeing that the house is already clean during pre-settlement inspection, they will more likely pay a higher cost. This is especially true when you're able to restore the house to its original shine.
Sometimes, former owners may need to sell their property quickly. In such cases, they should consider cleaning the house before listing it as this can help to expedite the sale process. By doing a deep clean prior to selling your home, you're going to be able to put it on the market faster. This is because you won't have to wait for buyers’ final inspection results before listing your house. What's more, many potential buyers will be more attracted to buy your property directly when they see that it's already clean.
Selling a house is a time consuming process and potential buyers will less likely purchase your property if they have to put in additional effort. By cleaning the house before listing it, you’re helping potential buyers save time and allowing them to make an informed decision quickly. This can help speed up the selling process and save you from days of waiting for a buyer to come through.
By hiring a professional cleaning company to deep clean your property, you can save yourself a significant amount of time and hassle. The cleaning company will take care of everything, leaving you with more time to focus on the other aspects of selling your home.
In today's digital age, many potential buyers will be viewing your house online before they decide to come take a look in person. Showing photos of a clean house can help make your listing stand out from the competition and attract more viewers, increasing the chances of you selling it quickly. Professional cleaning services know what details need to be taken care of to ensure an impressive online presence for your property. They can take care of everything from cleaning the windows and floors to dusting all the furniture.
In Australia, there is no rule or law that obligates sellers to clean their house before putting it up for sale. However, by doing so, you can give your property the best chance of being noticed by potential buyers. Not only can you give a good first impression , but you can also increase the chances of selling it quickly. Not to mention, there's also a great possibility that you can get a better price for it.
