How noisy floors impact your sale

I recently spoke to an estate agent in Prestwich, Manchester. She had a modern house on the market for an entire year. Six viewings later, every potential buyer had rejected the property. Interestingly, they all cited one specific reason: the horrendous squeaky floors upstairs. Many people believe that nothing can be done to fix this. Therefore, if you are selling a house with squeaky floors, you might face a real struggle to find a buyer.

Is it a forever home?

It is important to remember the buyer’s perspective. Most people buy a property with the view of it being a forever home. Alternatively, it might be a long-term stepping stone for a growing family. These buyers simply do not want the constant noise that chipboard floors provide. Furthermore, they want a home that feels solid and well-maintained.

What do you tell prospective buyers?

You could try to reassure buyers that a few screws will fix the issue. However, you likely know that this is rarely the case. Most failed chipboard floors require a professional solution. Because I have spent over twenty years in the industry, I know that DIY fixes usually fail. Therefore, you may find it difficult to suggest an easy fix to a savvy purchaser. You do not want to pass years of irritation onto an undeserving buyer.
