When you buy a house, it’s usually a time-consuming process. You have to move in your furniture and decorate, and it takes a devil of an effort to arrange them in the manner you want best. For buyers of high-end residences in downtown Montreal, it’s not just about getting elegant pieces for every room, it’s also about getting appliances and smart devices installed as well.

You can avoid these issues with turnkey homes. A turnkey residence is a house that’s basically ready for you to live in right away. All the furniture pieces, appliances and accessories have been installed and arranged by experts. All you need to do is to move in your clothes and your personal items.

Turnkey properties are driving the demand for high-end residences all over the world. When you think about it, it’s easy enough to understand why:

• It saves you a lot of time and effort getting things right. Even if you can afford an interior decorator, it will take time to coordinate the purchase and installation of furniture and appliances. Not the case in a turnkey home. Of course, you can still change things to match your own personal preferences. You can take down artwork and put in family photos instead for instance. But basically, everything is ready for you to move in right away.

• It also saves you from the anguish of making decisions. Lots of people hate having to pick and choose furniture pieces and appliances to fit their home. There are just too many options to choose from! But now these decisions are made for you, and for many people it’s a relief. All they need to do is to know whether or not the seller’s choices match their own preferences.

• You know everything works. Buying a home means having to hire an inspector to see what kinds of repairs are needed after the purchase. In a turnkey luxury house, there won’t be any such issues. The seller would have taken care of fixing all the problems in the house before taking the time and effort to put in all the furniture, furnishings, and appliances.

Of course you still need to hire an inspector, but this should only confirm that there’s no need for any repairs at all. This saves you not just time and effort, but also money.

You also won’t need to imagine what the house will look like when you own it. Often when you’re buying a home it’s either empty or full of furniture and appliances that won’t be there when you move in. So you have to imagine how they place will eventually look like when you’re living there. This time, you can see what your home would look like with your own eyes and not just with your imagination.

• If you’re renting out the home, then you can also create income much more quickly. There won’t any delays. Many people appreciate the convenience of a new turnkey home, and it’s more likely that you’ll have more buyer interest when the home you’re offering is already fully furnished and repair-free.

Of course, it can be annoying when you like almost everything, but you want to change a bathroom or the flooring in a certain room. All and all, the pros outweigh the cons, and for many it’s worth paying more money for the convenience of a turnkey home.
