Whether you are going to rent your property out or want to live in it yourself, you will need to make sure it is finished to a very high standard. This will help to ensure that it maintains its value, looks fresh and represents a good quality home. Here are some areas you should pay attention to:

• Doors and windows. Make sure that they fit into the frames well and that they look clean and new. Sometimes, all you will need is a lick of paint, whereas at other times you will need to replace them.
• This is one that can catch many people out. It should be fitted evenly and should all line up perfectly. Make sure the finish is even and the paintwork is neat.
• Bathroom tiles. The last thing anybody wants is grubby, mouldy bathroom tiles. If the tiles and grouting don’t look as good as new, it’s time to replace them.
