Beneath The Sink
Make sure the area beneath the sink is as empty as possible by removing all extra cleaning supplies. Scrub the area and check for signs of water leaks. These will come up in the inspection so you want to make sure it is not an active leak.
Check all the ceilings for water stains, whether the leak is caused by plumbing or a faulty roof. If a water stain is left after something you have already repaired, paint the area. You may have to paint anyway, especially if dirt has accumulated in spots or you have an outdated color scheme. Painting makes a home look fresh and new on the inside and never fails to impress.Painting can be your best investment when selling. Painting is not a very expensive operation and often you can do it yourself. Choose colors based what would appeal to the widest possible number of buyers. You should almost always choose an off-white color because white helps your rooms appear bright and spacious.
Unless your carpet appears old and worn, or it is definitely an outdated style or color, you probably should do nothing more than hire a good carpet cleaner. If you do choose to replace it, do so with something inexpensive in a fairly neutral color. Repair or replace broken floor tiles, but do not spend a lot of money on anything. Remember, you are not fixing up the place for yourself. You want to move. Your goal is simply to have few negative impressions upon those who may want to purchase your property.
