MIL is in a nursing care home. We're currently organising the deferred charge on the house, but think we might hit a small snag/additional expense as it's not registered with the land registry - bought before the time it should be registered. 4 bed detatched, brick conservatory, garage and reasonable sized gardens.
The house was built in 1969. The Kitchen and bathroom are old and knackered and needs completely re-doing. Downstairs loo has a specialist toilet (will need swapping back to the standard one). Wiring, whilst it has a newish consumer unit, might need completely re-wiring. Carpets and decor is old fashioned, and has polystyrene tiles in a couple of upstairs rooms. We will have to strip out the disability 'aids' and stair lift and front ramp etc.
We are all 'time crunched' - two sisters self employed & my wife full time. Would you aim to sell as it is (nothing wrong and livable) or attend to stuff like a re-wire (it's a spaghetti junction TBF). We'd leave the kitchen and bathroom as people have their own taste.
The house needs 'emptying' as well, and I suspect this will take a few months. Depends upon if a stack of work will recover cost. MIL has limited savings though to complete this work (could do a £5k re-wire) , and none of the family can invest 000's into it.
Tempted to clear and clean it and sold as seen.
