One of the great debates when planning to sell your home is; “is it worth repairing/replacing my roof, or selling how it is?”
Obviously, each seller’s circumstances are different, but there are a few key indicators to consider.
A contemporary roof has never been more aesthetically important. In years past, homeowners have been able to sell their house without updating a tired roof with little impact on the sale price – as functionality outweighed how it looked.
In the current real estate climate, a roof’s value hinges largely on its visual appeal. It acts as a focal point of a property, and is a base for the rest of the home’s design and style. Unfortunately, it is now much harder to sell a property with a dated, poor quality roof – and if you do manage to find a buyer, the sale price consequently suffers.
One roofing element that remains important in the sale of a property is its ability to protect the home and everything/everyone inside. If your home has roof damage that needs repairs/replacing and decide to go ahead and sell, you will inevitably need to reduce the asking price to accommodate the future costs endured by the new owners.
A new roof can considerably increase the property’s value, as buyers look favourably at a home they don’t have to spend money on post-purchase.
Depending on the extent of the roof’s damage and its aesthetic value, you may be able to effectively repair it without a complete overhaul. Repairing a roof is a fast, cost-effective way of improving your chances of a sale, and increasing the potential price.
Does your roof leak? Is it compromising the foundations of your property? Does the style match the rest of your home? Are your gutters not doing their job? There are many things to consider before you list your property, and it starts with your roof.
