Pre-sale / pre-let preparation

Finish the repairs people notice before the property is photographed or viewed.

What affects scope

  • How many rooms and outside areas need attention
  • Whether decorating is touch-up or a full repaint
  • The time before photos and viewings

What to send first

  • Photography and viewing dates
  • Key collection details
Buyers and tenants make up their minds quickly, often from the listing photos. Marked walls, a cracked tile, a sticking front door or an overgrown front garden all suggest a property has not been looked after. PRG gets those details sorted before the photographer and the first viewings. A typical pre-viewing list covers touch-up decorating and filling, easing doors and fixing loose handles, replacing tired fittings such as taps, toilet seats and curtain poles, refreshing sealant in the kitchen and bathroom, and clearing out unwanted items. Outside, it often means cutting the grass, trimming hedges, tidying the path and cleaning up the front of the property so it looks cared for from the street. The aim is to fix what people will notice, not to start a refurbishment you did not ask for. We work back from the photography and viewing dates you give us, with the most visible jobs done first. Send a walk-through list or photos of each room, the date the photographer is booked and when viewings start. Agents can send the list for a vendor or landlord, with details of key collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth decorating before selling or letting?
Touching up marks and repainting tired rooms in a neutral colour is usually enough. A full redecoration is not always needed.
Can the work be done before the photographer comes?
Tell us the date when you get in touch. We can then say what can be done in time and start with the most visible jobs.
Can you work with the estate agent?
Yes. Agents often hold the keys, so it is simple for them to arrange access and pass on the list.
