House Doctors on Call
Julie Bryant - House Doctor with Style Studio

Could this be the time to treat yourself to a Home Health Check? It could prove to be one of your best moves this year.

You have made the decision to put your property on the market and as you look around, you try to imagine looking at your home through the eyes of a prospective purchaser. Will they appreciate your amazing lime green living room or purple bedroom? You were at your creative best when you put paint to wall and still think its great. All those back copies of newspapers and magazines piled in the corner are there for a useful purpose and will be referred to again one day. The obstacle path to your front door, consisting of numerous children’s bikes and football boots shouldn’t present any problems. You’ve learnt to hop, skip and jump your way over them, so why shouldn’t your prospective buyer?

This rather ’tongue in cheek’ look at some of the many things we take for granted as part and parcel of our lifestyle may not cause us any great distress. We have learnt to live with it all and haven’t given it a thought for many a day. Your home may be your castle, but could it possibly be another’s dungeon?

Quite rightly, no one wants to hear that his or her lovingly created home may not be appreciated as much by another as it is by us. However, you have now decided to move on and create a new home elsewhere. Having made this big decision, it may be time to remove the sunglasses and take an honest, critical look at exactly how attractive your home will appear to someone else and are there any changes that you can make to increase its saleability and current market value. Any improvements that you make now to increase its value will mean more available money to spend on creating your new castle.

Sometimes, it can prove almost impossible to take an unbiased look at your home through your own eyes. Yet for often a relatively low investment you can often greatly enhance its attractiveness and value.

A good time to call in one of our team of experienced ’House Doctors’ is before you ask the agents around to value your home. They’re only human after all, and can be just as easily seduced by a stylish presentation as most potential purchasers. With many years of experience within the housing market, one of our consultants will visit your property and advise you upon what changes can be made for the lowest possible outlay. We know what appeals and what can put someone off, sometimes even before they reach your front door. We can prepare a report based upon our suggestions, offer a selection of colour choices and samples, design schemes and organise and undertake all the alterations, including decorating and any building works on your behalf.

A recent addition to the above is ’HouseDoctors on the Move’, a complete moving service offered by Style Studio designed to take away much of the stress associated with the moving process. We will deal with service suppliers, change of address details, organise and supervise removals as well as unpacking and checking inventories. We will even fill the fridge with essential supplies in preparation for your arrival. This leaves you free to enjoy the delights of your new home without the worry of the hundred and one little details that can spoil what should otherwise be a joyous occasion.

Our service to you does not stop here though. We offer a complete design service for your new home including a ’personal décor shopper’ service. This has been created for those of you who feel that you are ’almost there’ with your choice of décor but require just a little extra help to pull everything together. In this way you can avoid making what can sometimes prove to be costly mistakes. This can prove to be a service whereby you save more than you spend!

Our consultation fees start from as little as £50 and may prove to be one of the best investments you’ve ever made - apart from your future purchase of course! For further details please contact one of our ’House Doctors’ on 01483-714333 or email us at julie@stylestudio.co.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.
