Heirs often inherit properties that haven’t been lived in for months or even years. Before selling, the property usually needs cleaning, repairs or a full clear-out. Here is how to prepare an inherited Tenerife property for the market in a simple and efficient way.
Step 1: Clear the Personal Belongings
Most families remove sentimental items first. For everything else — furniture, clothes, unwanted items — you can hire a local clearance service to handle the entire job quickly.
Step 2: Clean and Refresh the Property
A deep clean makes a big difference to buyers. Common tasks include:
- Steam cleaning bathrooms and kitchens
- Refreshing paintwork
- Removing old bedding and curtains
- Fixing small repairs
Step 3: Check Utilities Before Viewings
Make sure electricity and water are connected, especially if the property has been empty. Buyers need to see everything working.
Step 4: Get a Valuation and Photos
A good estate agent will help you understand the market value and arrange professional photography. This is especially important for online marketing.
Preparing the property properly helps it sell faster and for a better price.
