So, you’ve bought your property, it’s all going smoothly, financially you’ve done all the maths. But that financial brain doesn’t necessarily transfer to interior design.
So, you’ve bought your property, it’s all going smoothly, financially you’ve done all the maths. But that financial brain doesn’t necessarily transfer to interior design.
You’ve got £5,000 of remaining budget to kit-out the rooms and decorate. Where do you go to find what you need and how do you avoid an overspend?
Perhaps traipse around individual furniture stores until you find what you want. Maybe carry out some research online before heading to the shops. Possibly even hire somebody else to do it all for you.
Whatever route you decide to take, be aware that discount deals websites like Groupon or Wowcher don’t only deal with restaurant vouchers and experience days anymore – they also offer cheap deals on furniture and all kinds of other household appliances and decorations.
On any given day you might find up to 70% off sofas, kitchen appliances or other furniture such as tables, mattresses, duvets, cushions and bedding.
Whereas before a company may have promoted deals solely via television, they’re now using sites like these to shift surplus stock for little to no profit.
The offers don’t always appear on the main page of these websites but if you click through various cities, like deals in Nottingham or Manchester for example, something is sure to be of interest and can be ordered online.
If you do decide to venture out and see the products first-hand, something else that will help to save some pounds is checking the in-store price of an item against the online price.
Make a note of the items that you like and their RRP as you walk around the store then check the store’s website when you get home – sometimes it’s different to the price listed in store.
Even if the online price turns out to be the same, type the name of the product into Google and you’re sure to find a cheaper version of the same product with a different supplier.
Basically, don’t settle for what you see in-store – there’s a whole world of cheaper items on the internet that will save you money. Usually offering free delivery too.
From a selling viewpoint, the more you save, the more you profit. From a rental viewpoint, the more you save, the better the yield.
So with this in mind, it’s well worth checking around the internet before committing to purchasing an item from the physical shop itself. You’ve got nothing to lose!
