What's required when selling your own home

When selling your own home there are lots of things to consider that are quite time consuming. If you want to bypass a real estate agent and avoid any extra costs involved its very worthwhile doing all the hard work yourself and seeing it all pay off when the house gets sold.
The pleasure you get through all the steps as you go through them one by one and seeing it all coming together. To finally see the property being sold is quite rewarding by knowing you did all the important groundwork yourself, without a real estate agent benefiting from the overall sale.
When you are considering selling your house, you need to think about many different things including taking numerous photos of your property. Great photos would be of the inside, outside, each room, the garden and taking note of the selling point with either a different angle of portrait or landscape, and the appearance of your property that would be a good selling point.
Regular maintenance and the overall continuous presentation is quite important when selling your property to the right buy. As selling your property can be a lengthy process its best to consider doing the maintenance and regular tidying yourself as it could eat into your overall profit.
When it comes to selling your property the cost can easily add up to quite a large sum if you pay for photography, maintenance and tidying up through out and the process and the large sum of real estate agency fees. There are many good online resources to selling your own home without an agent that is very worthwhile researching to minimise the cost so as you end up with more of a profit from the sale rather than it going in fees and you come out even.

Getting an established lawn for your new home

In some housing estates, it is in the conditions of the land sale that you have to have an established garden frontage within six months of your house being built.
With so many other things to worry about, we don’t all have the time to spend growing lawn. If you don’t have time on your side, you may want to consider getting instant lawn laid.

What is instant turf? 

Instant turf is grown locally and can be purchased in squares or rolls. This is a fantastic and quick way of introducing established lawn to your land.
There are also some great benefits to getting an instant lawn. Apart from the obvious time factor that is skipped to get a lawn, it also comes weed free so you don’t have to spend a lot of time weeding the lawn.
The turf has been specifically engineered to suit a range of needs such as being drought tolerant, high wearing for busy areas, low maintenance and to be able to retain it's color all year round.
Instant grass is very affordable and charged by the square meter. Depending on the size of your property it can be a much cheaper alternative to attempting to grow your own lawn. Growing a lawn yourself can have quite a lot of costs that you may not have factored in such as soil, weed killing chemicals and pesticides.
When growing your own lawn, birds can normally eat the seeds leaving your lawn patchy and inconsistent, where instant turf is grown in controlled conditions to look flawless.
