Rental & Pre-Sale Painting

Pre-sale house painting in Melbourne’s inner north

Preparing a home for sale in Fitzroy, Brunswick or nearby? Talk to Kian about an on-site visit first.

Photos are optional. If you would like Kian to see something before he visits, WhatsApp opens as a separate chat: attach up to six useful project photos yourself, and keep faces, identity documents, mail, keys and other sensitive information out of the images. You can use the text-only quote form instead.

How a pre-sale repaint starts

Kian can visit the property, look at the surfaces and discuss which areas would benefit from repainting before you decide on the work.

The scope may cover selected rooms, doors and trims or a larger interior or exterior repaint, depending on the property and the agreed work.

If photography or an open home is approaching, mention the date when you call so timing can be discussed. The written quote sets out the agreed surfaces, preparation and work. You do not need to send photographs before getting in touch.

  1. Call Kian

    Mention the suburb, the areas you have in mind and any photography or open-home date.

  2. On-site visit

    Kian looks at the surfaces and discusses which areas would benefit from repainting.

  3. Written quote

    The quote sets out the agreed surfaces, preparation and work.

Three practical packages. One tailored quote.

These are scope guides, not fixed-price products. The accepted quote defines the rooms, surfaces, preparation, access, products and timing for the actual property.

Outside the painting scope

Mould and moisture investigation or remediation, asbestos and lead paint assessment or removal, structural defects and specialist repairs are outside this painting scope. Where any may be present, assessment and clearance by an appropriately qualified specialist may be required before Pars can confirm or begin painting.

Painting may improve presentation, but Pars does not guarantee a sale price or sale result, a bond return, a leasing result, inspection approval or any other commercial outcome.

What to mention when you call

Useful first information keeps the conversation specific without creating a price or timing promise.

  1. Suburb and property type.
  2. Rooms, areas and surfaces you have in mind.
  3. Current condition and any visible defects.
  4. Deadline driver: Photography, Inspection, Open Home, Move-in or Other.
  5. Optional: up to six safe project photos sent directly through WhatsApp, as background for the visit.

Keep faces, identity documents, mail, keys and other sensitive information out of project images. Pricing and timing are confirmed only after Kian has seen the property and the scope is agreed. No completion date is guaranteed unless it is expressly included in an accepted tailored quote.

For owners who will not be living there

Repaint payback calculator: does the spend earn its money back?

An owner deciding whether to repaint before leasing or selling is making an investment decision, and it turns on figures only the owner has: the quote in front of them, the rent the property achieves now, and the rent or price they are working to. Put those in and this does the arithmetic.

Every number here is yours. Pars Painting Melbourne supplies none of them and forecasts none of them — not a rent, not a sale price, not a return. Nothing on this page is financial, taxation, legal or property advice. Use the painting figure from a written quote rather than an estimate, and take the rest to your own adviser.

Your figures

What is the property for?

On the figures you entered

A repaint that does not pay for itself on these figures is a real answer, and this calculator will say so rather than finding a way to a positive number. Presentation, time on market and tenant retention are reasons an owner may proceed anyway; they are judgements, not returns, and they are not modelled here.

Talk to Kian about an on-site visit.

Whether the property is being prepared for sale, between tenants or vacant, call Kian on 0402 242 442 to discuss an on-site visit. Any quote follows that visit, never photos or a description alone.

No fixed package price, turnaround, sale result or bond return is promised on this page.
