Work to be done before moving
Both homeowners and tenants need to carry out work before moving house. Here’s what you need to know.
Work to be carried out before moving out for tenants :
Before moving out, you need to make sure that the property is in the same condition as when you checked in, so that you can get your deposit back. If any damage has been caused during your stay, you must carry out repairs. This may involve tasks such as repairing holes in the walls. Repainting if you’ve damaged the paintwork. Repairing broken tiles, or any loose plates (if you have them).
After that, you’re free to furnish your new home as you wish. But if you want to carry out any work, don’t forget that you’re bound by a lease. Don’t forget to ask your landlord for authorization, and to provide written proof. Without these elements, when you leave, the landlord can keep the alterations you’ve made without compensating you, or he can demand that you return the property to its original state.
For homeowners :
If you want to personalize your new home in your own image, the work is a must. Whether for the interior or exterior layout. You can also undertake renovation work. Make sure you choose the right materials and evaluate their respective advantages. To ensure safety and comfort in your new home, think about priority work. These include insulation, heating, electricity and plumbing. If you’re in a condominium, be sure to take a close look at the bylaws, as some work may be prohibited. We also recommend that you carry out the work before you move in.
If, on the other hand, you want to sell, you can carry out work that will enhance the value of your property. For example, a new, more neutral or more modern interior design will make it easier to project your new home. Redoing a bathroom to make it accessible to children and families. Redoing the paintwork to brighten up your home.
