We are fortunate to have in New Zealand very helpful real estate agents who are happy to offer good advice on preparing your house for sale, but we are also fortunate to have a company like Bookabin to help with their experience in delivering and collecting skip bins, and this month they have some handy hints on how to prepare your house for selling.
As most real estate agents will advise, so do the Bookabin crew; you need to clear out all that personal junk you have been hoarding (yes, hoarding) for years to have your house looking clean and shiny to attract buyers.
Bookabin say that the first step you should take, before you even start to throw out stuff, is to book your skip bin well in advance, which means you then have plenty of time to consider what is going to go in the space provided, and then get cracking on this important part of your preparation – clearing all the clutter out.
Bookabin’s next piece of advice is, “don’t leave the collection date until the day before the auction”. This may sound like they are stating the obvious, but you would be surprised at how many auctions unfortunately have to take place with that great big skip bin standing in the driveway – not a good look we would all agree.
Finally, Bookabin advise that, despite all their best intentions, skip collections sometimes get missed or delayed. They have, over the years, experienced trucks breaking down, traffic congestion, plain old human error and now, COVID-19 travel restrictions.
These are all very valuable tips in relation to the preparation in the selling of your home, but don’t forget that Bookabin has a national database of skip bin supplier rates, allowing you to order a rubbish skip bin online at the most competitive price in New Zealand, and for more information on skip hire, rubbish bin hire and garden waste removal please go to www.bookabin.co.nz .
