Pre-acquisition renovated apartments.

The market sales of high value are flat, with regular sales preparation. Such objects are sold in a shorter time than those of the flat. The logic of pre-sales: increasing the competitiveness of the property.

Price and quality.

When comparing apartment with similar objects exposed on the market, professional evaluators use the system changes. The value of the amendments on the general state of the apartment determined by expert on the basis of prevailing on the date of valuation prices for building materials and work, it is calculated from the amount of work to be done in each case. Prices approximately as follows: cosmetic repairs - $ 50-100 per 1 sq. km. m, major repairs - $ 150 per 1 sq. km. m, renovation - $ 200-500 per 1 sq. km. m.

Fatally flawed.

Fatal shortcomings include: the location of the apartment, the location of the house (for example, if a subway line runs through the house, apartment or difficult to sell, or it is not sold at all), nesnosimye bearing walls, no balcony, garbage, elevator, insufficient number of rooms, bad neighbors the crack load-bearing wall.

Do I Repair?

Assigning this issue should be guided by the appearance of the apartment, prosperity seller, selling category of housing, the prestige of the area and the status of potential buyers. On this depends the size of investment in repairs, but we must remember that only half the cost recouped. When it is obvious that in order to bring housing, which 10 years is not repaired, the cheap does not, it is easier and more profitable to make the kind of preparation for repair. Remove furniture, broken prehistoric mezzanine, tear off plinths, somewhere obscure cracks and thereby facilitate the repair of future tenants.
In most cases the best solution may be a simple cleaning of the apartment. Throw away old belongings, stored for years on the balcony, to change the light bulbs with more powerful, clean up all the glitter, to replace the old switches, sockets, door handles on the more modern expensive cost but increases the chances of an apartment like buyers.

Conclusion.

Real estate appraisal potential buyer begins to approach the house.
Amenities of the area, courtyard, staircase, stairway, elevator, doors - all that matters almost more than the presence in the flat glass and Italian plumbers. The inscriptions on the walls or shabby neighbor's door is bad for the perception of the apartment. On the contrary, even if the door to sell the apartments are not too presentable, but at the staircase, cleanliness and order, the buyer probably react favorably to this option. The door is easier to replace than the neighbors.
