House doctoring consists of giving your property a face-lift so that it looks better. You might have just got to the point that you feel you would like to redecorate or re-organise or in most cases you are going to sell your home.
The basis of Teri's recommendations will come from feng shui principles of balance and harmony, basic design principles, along with very practical techniques such as re-decorating, de-cluttering and organisation. House Doctoring varies according to the property and of course, the client's budget in relation to the results they expect. The main focus is to use features and furniture that are already in the property keeping expenditure down.
An aesthetically good looking home can make you money by the increasing value of the property and reducing selling time.
Who will do the changes? Unfortunately, this is not a T.V. program so it is up to you to implement the recommendations with Teri's assistance. It is important that you participate in the process because it can make you feel very uplifted and positive. Any decorating, plumbing, joinery, gardening etc. can be contracted out if necessary.
How long does it take to prepare a property? It varies with the property and the amount of work needed to be done. Realistically, it depends on how much time you have spare. Will you be taking time off work or will you have to fit the changes at the weekend? Give yourself a month or two before putting the house on the market.
