Build one complete list
Walk the property once and record every issue rather than calling trades as each problem appears. Include photos and room locations.
Prioritise safety and function first
Anything affecting safety, security, water, electrical systems or required housing standards should be prioritised before cosmetic work.
Group related work
Do plaster repairs before painting. Fix doors before touch ups around trims. Resolve leaks before repairing stained ceilings. The order saves rework.
Use the vacant window
Dusty repairs, paint, floor work and multiple access visits are easier when nobody is living in the property.
Finish with presentation
Complete cleaning after repair dust is gone, remove rubbish and take final photos before advertising or handover.
