Pets and Selling your Home
July 26th, 2008Remember that just because your pet is a loved member of your family a dog that keeps jumping up at a prospective buyer or continually barks or yaps while they are being shown round your home can be extremely off putting. It could quite literally cost you the sale of your house as it can stop a buyer seriously considering your home even if everything else about your home ticks all the right boxes. A rabbit hutch in the garden or a hamster cage in a child’s bedroom will not bother anyone but a large or noisy dog, a noisy bird, rats or snakes could pose a problem. Wherever possible the animal should be taken out of the house when the house is to be viewed. If this is not possible your pet should be placed in a quiet corner out of the way. Keep all bedding of your pet clean and tidy and make sure the house is well aired and smells fresh.
